FEATURES OF VALUE ORIENTATIONS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS PRONE TO ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE
The problem of the study was to identify the features of value orientations and psychological well-being of students prone to alcohol addiction. Among the various psychological factors of alcoholism, the personal characteristics of an individual are of paramount importance. Alcohol consumption is one of the ways to relieve tension, a means of suppressing anxiety, fear, guilt, dissatisfaction. However, there is another motivation for taking alcoholic beverages - this is the desire to artificially evoke positive emotions, stimulate a good mood, euphoria, and increase emotional activity. The study involved 35 students of Perm University who do not have problems with alcohol, 33 students who consume alcohol in health-threatening quantities and 30 students with a tendency to alcohol addiction. Diagnostic tools included the questionnaire "Scale of Psychological Well-being" by C. Ryff (adaptation by T.D. Shevelenkova, P.P. Fesenko), Schwartz's value questionnaire and methods for identifying alcohol-related disorders. The Kraskel-Wallace criterion and the Pearson correlation coefficient were selected by statistical processing methods. It was revealed that the more strongly the students who are prone to alcohol dependence have a feeling of their own impotence and inability to change or improve something in their lives, the more they see the value in getting pleasure and enjoyment, desire something new, treat with understanding and patience, both close and distant surroundings.
