Differential types of reflexivity in young people against the backdrop of the COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract

Differential types of reflexivity (as human activities aimed at understanding their own actions) were studied in 66 persons against the background of the COVID-19 epidemic in order to effectively carry out medical, psychological and social interventions in order to maintain epidemiological well-being in society during the current epidemic. It was established that in all examined persons the indicators of scales, the methodology used do not significantly differ from the data obtained earlier by its authors. The surveyed contingent is reliably dominated by systemic reflexion (the indicators of which are comparable to those of those years when there were no such significant global shocks) with a lower (compared to the control group) level of introspection and quasi-reflexion. The bigger variability of data, received by D.A. Leontyev and E.N. Osin, in comparison with our data is caused probably by temporary aspect, various professional contingent of the examined persons, and the relevant processes flowing nowadays in society. Thus, the absence of significant differences from the data obtained earlier is probably due to the cultural and age characteristics of the examined. This indicates the possibility of adequate medical and psychological support for this category of persons against the background of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
