Самовдосконалення як соціально-психологічний механізм прогресивних змін особистості

Abstract

The qualification work theoretically summarizes and empirically investigates the socio-psychological mechanism of progressive personality changes through self-improvement. The study confirms that greater motivation for change occurs in those studied with existing unmet needs in life. Working people with a stable income or married people who are satisfied with their partner and family life are less motivated to change compared to respondents of the opposite category. It was found that the most valuable for themselves are the following for the study participants: health, happy family life, material well-being, interesting work. It was found that there is a direct relationship between the level of self-improvement of the participants and the awareness of their value (dignity), which indicates the influence of personality awareness on motivation for self-improvement as a need for self-realization and achieving success in all areas of life. The analysis demonstrated that self-improvement is a conscious choice of an individual, characterized by his ability to choose his own way of life, which is manifested in determining goals, directions, means and forms of development. A motivational and developmental program was developed and implemented, the purpose of which was to stimulate change, help activate personal and professional potential, emphasize the personal significance, uniqueness and value of each person, help in determining the ways and means of self-realization, in developing a creative approach to the fullest self-expression.
