Abstract: The research has been supported by the grant of the President of the Russian Federation given to young Russian scientists and PhDs. The aim of the article is to analyze regulatory processes as a personality marker of psychological safety of gas and oil workers under the conditions of shift work in Arctic Regions. The authors state that analysis of personality markers of psychological safety of gas and oil workers under the conditions of shift work in Arctic Regions will allow to create efficient recommendations for psychological support of professionals. The theoretical model of psychological security developed by the authors includes five basic components: functional states at the psychophysiological and psychological levels; the image of the object, the image of the subejct, the image of the subject-subject and subject-object relations viewed from the point of view of the psychic structure of regulation. The research involved 70 specialists of gas and oil companies who go on shift work in Arctic Regions. The research methods used by the authors include analysis of documentation, observation over working process, questionnaire survey, psychophysiological and psychological tests, statistic methods of data analysis. To diagnose regulatory processes, the authors have used The Behavior Regulation Style Inventory offered by V. Morosanova. The results of the research demonstrate that in order to ensure psychological safety, gas and oil workers should have a moderately high level of planning and modelling skills and reduced level of independency as regulatory processes. The development of these regulatory processes will increase psychological safety of gas and oil workers under the conditions of shift work in Arctic Regions. 

Abstract: Successful professional development of one's personality is possible only in the case of an adequate understanding of the world of  professions and formed professional identity. According to existing classifications of the stages of professional identity formation (offered by E.F. Zeher, E.A. Klimov, V.A. Polyakov, and S.N. Chistyakova), the senior adolescence is the most important age for the formation of professional identity and preparation for a conscious choice of profession. This makes it urgent to develop a program of psychological follow-up of elder teens in the process of their professional identity formation. The purpose of the research is to develop and test a program of psychological follow-up of elder teens in the process of their professional identity development. The research consisted of three stages (ascertaining experiments before and after the program and formative experiment) that took place in April and May of 2017 and involved 40 elder teens who were divided proportionally into two groups, the control group and experimental group. At the ascertaining stage, diagnostics of all components of professional identity of schoolchildren was carried out using methods of questionnaire survey and psychological testing. The program of psychological follow-up was aimed at the development of all components of professional identity and formation of a conscious choice of profession. The program consists of 8 lessons, is designed for 14 hours and includes such methods of work as career-guidance game, card game, group discussion, work in micro-groups, and analysis of professional identity development cases. After the program, statistically significant differences in the severity of the components of professional identity among the elder teens of the control and experimental groups were discovered. The schoolchildren of the experimental group have demonstrated a good level of being aware of the value of labor and working. The number of schoolchildren with a low level of orientation in the professional world has decreased. After the program, most of the elder teens were able to identify their professional goal. The majority of teens have raised their level of knowledge about possible obstacles on the way to obtaining a profession and about possibilities to overcome them.

Abstract: The study was sponsored by the Russian President's grant for state support of young Russian scientists and PhDs (MK-7500.2016.6). Industrial safety depends, first of all, on the employee himself or herself, not only his or her attitude to labor protection but also personal traits, feelings and efficiency of psychological self-regulation. The authors believe that locus control is one of the most important personal markers of the personnel psychological safety as a number of researchers (Eysenck, Emelianov, Kostrov, Kotik, Kulagin, Tsgoev, etc.) underline the relationship between them. The article is devoted to the study of the control locus as a personal marker of the psychological safety for oil and gas employees in the Arctic. To achieve this goal, a study was carried out at the oil and gas producing industry with a shift work organization in the territory of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (the duration of the rotation arrival is 30 days). The study involved 70 workers aged 24 to 60 years (the mean age is 38.7 ± 1.3). The work experience of the shifted method varies from 0.5 to 31 years (9.53 ± 1.2). Methods of research are studying documentation, monitoring the work process, questioning, psychophysiological and psychological testing, statistical methods of data analysis. Statistical methods of analysis are descriptive statistics; and multivariate variance analysis. Statistical processing of data was carried out using the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics (licensing agreement No. Z125-3301-14 (SAO named after Lomonosov)). The most important parameters of the control locus, which have a statistically significant relationship with most components of the psychological safety of oil and gas workers in the Arctic, are internality in health and disease, in interpersonal and family relationships, and in the field of failures. It has been revealed that in order to provide psychological safety for oil and gas specialists in shift work organization in Arctic conditions, it is necessary to have a moderate level of externality in the field of failures, and there is a moderate internal locus of control in the field of health and illness, family and interpersonal relations.

Abstract: Research and socio-economic conditions allow to determine the actual problem which is a contradiction between the high demand on the labor market within the framework of working professions and undeveloped motivation of graduates for working in their specialty. These contradictions can be resolved by examining the professional orientation of students during their education process based on the introduction of modern psychological technologies. Thus, the purpose of the research was to study a professional orientation development of auto mechanics during their college years. The study was conducted from September 2015 to May 2016 and involved 32 Polytechnical College students aged from 16 to 18 years (the average age is 17.09 ± 0.211). For the purposes of the teaching experiment all the respondents were divided into two groups, experimental group that involved the first-year students majoring in automechanics and the control group consisting of the first-year students studying welding. The authors have also prepared a 20-academic hour program of professional orientation development (10 lessons, each lasting for 2 academic hours). The lessons were given from March to April 2016. The program proved to be efficient. The authors have recorded the statistically important increase in the number of the experimental group's students with the high level of developed professional orientation after the lessons compared to the control group to which the  lessons were not given. The program prepared by the authors is more oriented at the development of such components of professional orientation as the motivation, needs, values and the level of reflection.

The study has clarified the concept of psychological safety as a mental state of control over a range of external and internal factors of the ergatic system triggering internal personality means to be professionally efficient at the psychophysiological and psychological levels. The authors introduce  and empirically support the model of psychological safety that is comprised of the following components: psychophysiological level of the functional status (reduced / optimal); psychological level of the functional state (emergency / economical); the image of an labour object (low undifferentiated risk assessment / highly differentiated risk assessment); the image of a labour subject (highly undifferentiated / moderately differentiated self-assessment); the image of the subject-object and subject-subject relations (neutral / negative / positive).
