SELF-REGULATION AS A FACTOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF PERSONALITY
Abstract
In modern society, characterized by a high pace of life, uncertainty, and constant change, the issue of psychological well-being becomes particularly relevant.Mental health is viewed not only as the absence of pathology but as a person's ability to function harmoniously, engage in productive activity, and experience life satisfaction.One of the key mechanisms ensuring this state is self-regulation -the individual's ability to consciously control and direct their own mental processes, emotions, and behavior.Self-regulation is not only an individual trait but also an essential condition for psychological resilience, successful adaptation, and personal development.The problem of self-regulation has been widely explored in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scholars (M.Hryntsiv, T. Kyrychenko, S. Maksymenko, C. Ryff, C. Rogers, M. Seligman, L. Tiutiunnyk).The concept of "self-regulation" is examined through the prism of regulatory mental processes that occur internally according to an individual-personal plan under the influence of society [6].Through the self-determination of the subject's actions aimed at changing or improving personal qualities and characteristics in a desired direction, with the purpose of optimizing attitudes and relationships that ensure selfactualization, M. Hryntsiv describes personal self-regulation.The researcher concluded that the objects of self-regulation may be numerous, while the crucial factor is its direction, as this allows distinguishing self-regulation of activity, behavior, mental processes, actions, motivational-need sphere, life activity, etc. [1, p. 69].According to T. Kyrychenko, self-regulation is a system of internal mental processes that ensures conscious control of human behavior in accordance with set goals.It includes planning, monitoring, evaluation of results, and correction of actions.Self-regulation harmonizes the individual's inner world with the requirements of the external environment.Through constructive self-regulation strategies, individuals adapt to difficult life conditions, maintain inner balance, and respond constructively to stress [2, p. 84].Contemporary research identifies several types of self-regulation, namely: social, psychological, emotional, volitional, personal, and motivational.Social self-regulation
