Psychological Conditions for the Development of Student’s Personal Resources in the Educational Environment

The research focuses on the problem of studying the psychological conditions for developing a student’s personal resources in an educational environment. The methodological basis of the research is the conceptual model of personal potential developed by D. A. Leontiev. The tools of psychological diagnostics included methods aimed at studying the personal resources of students, acting as components of personal potential—psychological well-being, resilience, and meaningful life orientations. As a result of the research, the authors found that a significant number of students have a low level of psychological well-being, difficulties in organizing daily activities, and difficulties in determining goals and direction of life, feeling a lack of control over what is happening in life and the inability to change existing circumstances for the better, dissatisfaction with oneself, and the lack of self-acceptance. It has been experimentally proven that all studied personal resources represent a single, consolidated system. Therefore, the positive development of variable personal resources (psychological well-being, vitality, and life orientations) is a determinant of the harmonious development of a student’s personality. The authors present the results of the study of the student’s personal resources. Based on the results obtained, the authors, for the first time, developed the psychological conditions for the development of personal resources in the educational environment. The obtained research results can be used in programs for the psychological support of students, elaboration and implementation of programs for the development of personal resources, and the conduct of individual and group correctional and evolving work in the educational environment.
