THE FORMATION OF THE SELF-IMAGE THROUGH THE IMPACT ON “SOFT SKILLS”
The Self-image from the moment of its origin becomes an active principle, an important factor in the interpretation of experience. The Self-image contributes to the achievement of internal consistency of the personality, determines the interpretation of experience and is a source of expectations, that is, ideas about what should happen. One of the components of the Self-image is the skills of a person and the ability to apply them in a specific situation. In this paper, the emphasis is on “soft skills”. Image formation is a complex and lengthy process, which is influenced by many factors, including the effectiveness of “soft skills”. As part of the research in this paper, the main object is “soft skills” and the ability to influence them through a specially designed training program. The author identified the factors for the study, the analysis of the test results was carried out by an expert commission consisting of three people, including specialists in the field of art therapy and the construction of artistic composition. It was developed to study the socio-psychological features of the expression of the respondents’ self-image. The formation of speech is conditioned by social factors of the individual's development. According to the ideas of representatives of body-oriented therapy (V. Reich, A. Lowen) socio-psychological problems cause tension in the muscular structures of the body, and thereby change the nature of its functioning. Since the formation of speech is caused by sound expression and sound formation, the problems that arise in the case of mental stress are reflected in the nature of the sound. This provision allowed us to develop criteria for evaluating the voice and speech of respondents, who were evaluated on a three-point bipolar scale. In conclusion, the results obtained are presented.
