This is a report on a secondary analysis of survey data to assess relationships between commanders' priorities and the psychological readiness of their units. The data were taken from two unrelated surveys - one of U.S. Army company commanders and the other of soldiers in those officers' units. Results indicated that almost all commanders put the highest priority on development of combat skills. Soldiers in units commanded by officers who also accorded high priority to human dimensions were more confident, committed, vertically bonded, psychologically healthy; and the married soldiers were more satisfied with their military and family lives than those in units whose commanders did not put high priority on human dimensions. This study is significant not only for its findings but also because it demonstrates the feasibility of using surveys to provide empirical information about associations between leaders' values and the psychological readiness of their subordinates.

Among the many competences to determine the readiness level of specialist in the field of physical culture and sport sphere (FCS), the most important include those which constitute psychological readiness. We have developed and implemented a new structural-functional approach to the study and formation of psychological readiness. The practice of training specialists in the physical culture and sports sphere dictates the need to supplement the variety of competences reflected in Russia's federal standards with superprofessional competences in order to achieve full psychological readiness of the specialist. We present a complex model of competences embedded in the structural components of psychological readiness – cognitive, motivational, operational, value-moral, reflexive. Structural and functional analysis of the model by the method of "competent judges" – employers allowed us to assess the functional significance of each competence in each of the components of readiness for the main specialties of the physical culture and sports sphere. The results of the study revealed a specific and differentiated influence of individual competences on the level of psychological readiness of graduates and specialists of different specialisations of a sports higher education institution.
Informational technologies, the latest challenges in the field of technical development of society condition irreversible environmental and human changes. In the context of these changes a special place is occupied by those activities that are directly or indirectly related to technical, cybernetic, mathematical activities. This actualizes the manifestation of mathematical abilities, giftedness for math activity in youth, features of creative potential, etc. The purpose of the study is to clarify the content and structure of psychological readiness of high school students for creative mathematical performance. The main content characteristics of the creative mathematical problem as a model for the study of creative mathematical activities are considered in the article. Based on the theory of learning problems, the psychological structure of mathematical task is determined. The structure contains the following components: a) the subject of the task (in its initial state or the ascending subject of the task); b) the model of desired state, ie the requirements (set and required) of the task. The contradiction of the creative mathematical situation first of all characterized by the object and subject of the creative mathematical task. The psychological readiness of high school students for creative mathematical performance is an integrated personality trait aimed at realizing of the cognitive abilities of young people in the process of solving creative mathematical problems. Since the process of creative mathematical thinking (creative mathematical activity) is determined by objective (subject-functional) and subjective-personal (motivation, emotional-volitional, value attitude) components, it is worth saying about subject-functional, subjective-personal types of psychological readiness of high school students to perform mathematical creative activities.

Introduction. The article analyzes the phenomenon of psychological readiness of operational shifts of the nuclear power plant (NPP) to work in emergency situations. The study of operational shifts of nuclear power plants in this direction was conducted for the first time. Theoretical analysis. Psychological readiness is a condition for the formation of such a characteristic of an operational shift as group reliability, which, in turn, is the most important prerequisite for a safe and reliable work shift. Theoretical analysis indicates that group reliability of an operational shift is a characteristic that is actualized precisely in the conditions of the development of an emergency situation. Willingness to work effectively in emergency situations is a factor that significantly increases the chances of adequate actions in real conditions. Еmpirical analysis. The empirical study found that the overwhelming majority of the investigated operational shifts characterized by an average and above average level of psychological readiness for action in an emergency situation, while no shifts with a low or high level were revealed. Conclusion. Such results may indicate that this psychological condition of group reliability in operational shifts of the NPP is sufficiently well-formed. Nevertheless, the psychological service should work to strengthen the psychological readiness of units for action in emergency situations.
