MODIFIED METHOD OF DIAGNOSING THE ADAPTIVE READINESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL

. A differentiation of methodological approaches and contents of the concepts of “adaptation”, “adaptation readiness”, and “pre-adaptation” was carried out. The article presents data on the modification of the method for diagnosing the adaptive readiness of an individual, which, unlike existing methods for diagnosing adaptive phenomena, allows one to measure not the result of adaptation, but the attitude towards fast and effective adaptation. Psychometric testing of the modified method was conducted on a sample of students (average age 20 ±1.82 years, male 37%). The sample size was 386 people. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, 5 factors were obtained and interpreted, corresponding to a complex set of questions on three scales and a separate set of questions on each of the three scales – psychophysiological, psychological and socio-psychological adaptive readiness. The scale of social and psychological adaptation readiness is presented by two factors, since it is the most complex level of adaptation readiness. Reliability and internal consistency of the modified method were confirmed by Cronbach’s α (0,879, at p < 0,001). Data on the convergent validity of the method, confirmed by correlation coefficients with indicators according to the methods of K. Rogers, R. Diamond in the modification of A.K. Osnitsky and the multi-level personality questionnaire “Adaptability” by A.G. Maklakov and S.V. Chermyanin are presented. Retest reliability was confirmed by repeated diagnostics at an interval of 4 months on a sample of 75 people. The text and keys are presented, as well as the correspondence to the Sten (Standard Ten) scores.
