The dynamics of the mental state of student in conditions of self-isolation
Abstract
The article describes the results of a study of self-assessment of students’ mental and functional state during the period of self-isolation and distance learning. The role of social characteristics influencing the quality of adaptation to changed living conditions has been analyzed. 199 students from different universities of the Russian Federation were interviewed, they were divided into groups depending on social factors. To study the mental and functional state there was used a standardized methodology and a questionnaire designed to identify various social factors. For statistical processing of the data the Student’s t-test was used.
The results of the study revealed that the conditions of self-isolation as unusual living conditions for most people are a significant factor that disrupts mental adaptation. These disorders are manifested by changes in the mental and functional state recorded in self-assessments. Among the psychogenic factors of the conditions of self-isolation which have a significant impact on the quality of adaptation one should point out such as gender, age, level of material well-being (external factors) as well as the nature of the microsocial environment.
