At present, when the world is in transformation, a fresh interpretation of social-cultural function of values in construction and regulation of social life, social-cultural principles of coexistence, transferring of life-experience and formation of national identity have acquired a new theoretical and prac- tical significance. Social life on the one hand is characterized by stable sys- tems of values, norms, traditions and ideas that regulate relations, which enable the society to maintain its qualitative specificities, and on the other hand, it is characterized by continuous change and renewal. Social systems exist thanks to new sociocultural values, which provide the existence of the society and its development. The difficult process of combining old and new realities creates a precondition for the formation of a dichotomous worldview and dual social positions. During various historical periods, social systems survive because thanks to certain mechanisms they are supplemented with new sociocultural values. Modern society becomes more and more pluralistic and alternative and creates such moral-psychological atmosphere, when a person does not only feel cultural inferiority, but also becomes more adaptable to new attitudes and lifestyles. Old, tested values and norms regulating peoples thoughts and behavior clash with new, unfamiliar values. In this process on the one hand the conservativeness ensures stability within the society, and on the other, modernity adopts new values and aims at mobility and innovation. Under such conditions of radical transformations values fulfill the important function of overcoming social- cultural crises, adaptation to new conditions, reduction of struggle between the old and the new. From this point of view, values is not only stable and reliable basis for society, but also for its renewal and modernization.

The article is devoted to the study of age threshold of traumatic memory. The study of memories of young children is started conducted in Children’s Psychotherapy Center in Kirovakan (Vanadzor) who experienced the devastating Armenian earthquake in 1988 using the data collected during evaluations of the affected children. The research has shown that the versatility of behavioral memory operates according to different rules than verbal one; it does not require verbal skills and conscious awareness and therefore, does not depend on the children’s age.
The article is aimed at substantiate the need of taking into account the epistemological principles in the process of applying methods of psycholo- gical assessment, counseling and intervention, which in turn can contribute to the purposeful preservation of the physical and mental health of a per- son. Modern psychological assessment is an important scientific and applied component of psychological cognition. A reliable psychological assessment of individual personality traits and its mental state is of categorical impor- tance, since it is aimed at identifying a specific and situational phenomenon for the further use of various practices. In this regard, a practical psychologist must possess the professional skills of psychological diagnostics, which implies the ability to establish connections between the external signs of a phenomenon and the internal psychological characteristics of a person. In this case, a special role is assigned to the epistemological foundations of psychological science and practice, which directly affect the formation of the methodology of counseling, therapy and training.
Remote work interaction is becoming the most important trend in employment management. The work-from-home online job affected not only in technical occupations who have experience in remote working. Different professions were simultaneously involved in online interaction, regardless of skills, willingness or nature of its work. Unlike human- computer interaction, main feature of this interaction is communication between people that built outside the logic of the programming language and it is due to socio-psychological mechanisms rather than technical re- quirements. Online interaction depends on communication processes, cyber shadow saving / data updatability, anonymity and self-disclosure degree, etc. The comparative features of online and offline communication, the spe- cifics of network language and communication can be considered relatively studied at the present time. However, online professional communication is beyond the focus of the researchers' attention, including the exposure of such online communication to the influence of motivation, psychological barriers, user beliefs, preferences and attitudes. User experience, affective support, and user attribution and motivation were identified as the priority predictors of remote working efficiency in the conditions of a massive and sudden shift to new working conditions.
This article reflects the concepts of teachers and parents about the independence of primary schoolchildren in the context of the 2020 pan- demic. A comparative analysis is given between the characteristics and types of independence (activity, criticality and flexibility of thinking, independent homework, dependence on parents when performing various tasks, etc.) in the conditions of distance and full-time education. Independence is especially important at primary school age, when educational activity becomes dominant. The study is aimed at studying the characteristics of the independence of primary schoolchildren, for whom the transition to distance learning has become especially critical, given their age characteristics. According to the hypothesis, it is assumed that, in contrast to full-time education, distance learning contributes to the development of the independence of primary school children. An expert survey was conducted using 2 questionnaires. The research results are presented in the form of corresponding conclusions. In general, it can be stated that distance learning negatively affects the activity, self-confidence and independence of primary school children.
The paper analyzes the problems of introducing the computer techno- logies into the educational process. The opportunities and weaknesses of the implementation of computer programs and ways of overcoming them are discussed. During the Covid pandemic, the usage of computer and on- line recourses in educational process has increased. Computer models have numerous opportunities and allow speeding up or slowing down the time, narrowing or expanding the distance, in the real world holding the imitations of dangerous or impossible actions, which make them indispen- sable tools for the educational process. The results of the survey of the computer usage, their forms and features in the educational process are provided. In this article we also tried to identify the actions which, in stu- dents’ opinion, could increase the role and importance of computer- mediated education.
The main purpose of the research paper is to understand the interrelation of the fallacy of personal validation also called The Forer effect or The Barnum effect with one of the main biases of behavioral finances – the money illusion. During the last years we explored some personal factors which force and determinate the manifestation of money behavior such as subjective control, aspiration level etc. All of data force us to suppose that one of regulators of money behaviour is the belief in authority and obedience to expert opinion which could be measured by the level of manifestation of the fallacy of personal validation. This means that people are gullible because they think the information is about them only when in fact the information is generic. The research design is aimed to study and understand the manifestation of the money illusion among the people affected by the fallacy of personal validation (The Forer effect). This can help us to understand more deeply the phenomena of money illusion which nowadays affect more extensively our financial behaviour.
Health campaigns and educational programs have recently focused on forming people’s beliefs. Many studies show that beliefs contribute to the development of preventive health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predetermining role of health beliefs about Covid-19 (i.e., health belief model) for adaptive behaviors related to the pandemic. We focused on preventive, hoarding, and helping behaviors as common reactions toward the pandemic. The study was based upon a sample of 237 participants (64,1% woman, M=29,75; SD=10,693; Range=18-58). Data collection occurred between May and June 2020 through an online survey. The results of the hierarchic regression analysis showed that the preventive behavior was determined by sex, beliefs about the effectiveness of the preventive behavior, perception of barriers, perception of severity and fear of Covid-19. The economic status and beliefs of gaining prevention were significant predictors for hoarding behavior. The sex, fact of being infected, and the fear of Covid-19 predicted the helping behavior. None of the health beliefs was a predictor for this behavior. The results of the study provide an opportunity to understand the role of health beliefs about Covid-19 and other factors in the manifestation of different behaviors.
The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between subjective well-being and the pursuit of success in junior and senior students. The results show that the highest indicators of subjective well- being of students are expressed in the scales of peace, health, happiness, existence, which is obviously related to the current situation in Armenia caused by the war in Artsakh and the coronavirus pandemic. Psychological, physical and mental well-being among students is preferable to social and material well-being. Students are highly motivated to succeed in achieving the desired goal. Senior students, unlike undergraduate students, are more satisfied with all aspects of life. Senior students are more motivated to succeed than junior students. Students with a high level of success motivation have a higher level of life satisfaction.
Professional activity plays a huge role and significance in a person's life. It contributes to the knowledge enrichment, skill development, and provides personal and professional growth. At the same time, professional activity can harm a person's physical and mental health and cause professional burnout. Employees in the education system, particularly teachers, have encountered a number of psychological problems as a result of transition to distance learning in connection with COVID-19. Online- learning became a catalyst that has accelerated the onset and progression of psychophysical symptoms. The lack of direct interpersonal communication, the emotional connection, the existence of various technical problems, a low level of computer competence, inability to use online tools, isolation and constant fear led to body exhaustion and decreased performance. This was especially noticeable among the teachers working in urban schools. The article discusses the causes of professional burnout and its manifestations. Professional burnout is harmful not only to a particular person, but also to society as a whole. The article presents psychological factors that affect working capacity, as well as the relationship between professional working capacity and professional burnout. A study was conducted with 280 teachers from urban and rural schools, which resulted in a decrease in working capacity and the existence of professional burnout, and it was revealed that the indicators in two methods are almost double for urban school teachers.
The article introduces the requirements of RA Armed Forces presen- ted to servicemen. Discipline is the strict and mandatory maintenance of rules regulated by laws and military orders and set by the commanders. The purpose of the research is to study military discipline, the causes and effects of disorder as well as its results, since it is based on the awareness of military duty and personal responsibility of servicemen. The objectives of our planned continuous research are to observe the approaches to the issue under discussion in scholarly literature, to investigate the peculiarities of discipline and disorder among the examined servicemen, their ways of expression as well as causes and effects. The topicality of the issue is determined by the importance of the discipline of servicemen and accomplishment of the objectives mentioned above. The hypothesis of the research is that the more flexible is the adaptability of the serviceman during the military service, the more effective he is in complying with the requirements and regulations of the military service. The research has been carried out among 200 military servicemen. To investigate this issue the corresponding psychological assessments methods have been applied: test method, psychological conversation, observation and case study.
This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of lifelong learning as opportunities for a person to live and flourish in a democratic society. Continuous learning, according to the existing concept, implies that a person needs to constantly keep learning, update the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities. It should be implemented throughout life not only by means of natural communication, life experience, but also through the realization of variety conscious educational opportunities via formal, non- form and informal education. In the article, determinations, standards and objectives of the lifelong learning listed in local and international literature are stated. Detailed analysis of the authors’ work, models and reports, as well as the approaches of different specialists of our country are set out.Video-methodological analysis shows that almost all European countries, including China, are shifting from adult to continuing education, and then to lifelong learning.
The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in cog- nitive and motivational factors of achieving success-predetermining stu- dent’s psychological well-being. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being scale (WEMWBS) was used to measure psychological well-being. The mindset and promotion/prevention regulatory focus were consi- dered as cognitive and motivational predictors. The study was based upon a sample of 415 students (Mage=20.4, SDage=2.568), of whom 63.5% were women. Two regression models were developed separately, for men and women to identify gender differences in factors contributing to psychological well-being. The promotion focus was a significant predictor for men’s psychological well-being. Women’s psychological well-being was determined by growth mindset and promotion focus. The prevention focus negatively predicted women’s psychological well-being. The results of this study replicated the findings of other studies, that promotion focus has a predictive role in psychological well-being, at the same time revealing gender differences in cognitive and motivational factors of achieving success.
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of psychological well-being and the specifics of understanding its indicators, barriers and resources among students of different ethnicity, included in the unified educational environment of the university. The first part of the study involved 300 students (M = 19.64; SD = 2.61) and were interviewed about the semantics they put into their own psychological well-being, its indicators and barriers to achievement. The second part - 60 students: 30 Russian and 30 representatives of other ethnic groups, representatives of Asian culture. As a result, the authors came to the conclusion that along with general trends in understanding and experiencing psychological well-being among students of different ethno cultural groups who are in a single educational environment, there are also specific trends related to the mentality, culture, customs and the very specifics of the social situation of educational migration. Basically, students are moderately satisfied with their own lives, as they see a number of barriers that prevent them from fully feeling the state of psychological well-being.

The article examines the problem of the economic behavior of an individual and analyzes the results of surveys aimed at identifying patterns created by psychological factors in the sampling process. To achieve this goal, a special questionnaire was developed, in which various situations of consumer choice are presented. 122 respondents took part in the survey, the average age of which was 32.6. This made it possible to assess the features of decision-making with some uncertainty. Issues related to the economic behavior of an individual, which have always been and remain the focus of attention of economic theories, have become the subject of interdisciplinary research. Research into the patterns of economic behavior, which is largely due to psychological factors, is especially relevant. Scientists, increasingly using mathematical methods, are building more realistic models of the economic behavior of an individual. In research in this direction, the goal is to find out how psychological characteristics and socio-psychological factors affect the economic behavior of an individual.
