People change their bodies because of many reasons over many thousand years. Tattoo, piercing, and other types of body modifications have found a new life now. In present-day societies, tattoos and piercing are associated with risky behavior, alcohol and drug use in adolescents. The purpose of the study is to study the psychological manifestations of body modification and self-destructive behavior in adolescents. 86 boys and girls aged 14 to 18 attending socio-rehab center were examined by Mini-Mult (SMOL) and SOP questionnaires. It was revealed that body modifications in them are accompanied by tendencies to the use of alcohol, soft drugs and other psychoactive substances and by tendencies to different types of aggressive and autoaggressive behaviour. Adolescents who have body modifications are emotionally more unstable.
The relevance of the study is reasoned by the objective necessity in the education of students, focused on humanistic values and able to engage in dialogue with society. The purpose of the paper is to reveal the students' tolerant behavior formation mechanisms. The guiding principle of investigation is the event-related principle, providing students' inclusion in the set of events that encourage awareness of the sense of tolerance and aimed at creating of capacity for tolerant behavior. The study involved 500 teachers, 500 students, which revealed the criteria (knowledge based, motivational and activity-based) and gave the characteristic to the levels of students' tolerant behavior (optimal, efficient and acceptable). The main results of the study is to develop the mechanisms for formation of tolerant behavior (the organization of a special event-activity environment, personality-role development of tolerant behavior, creating situations of success in building and implementing strategies for sustainable cooperation based on ethnic, cultural and religious differences, the use of implicit measures; stability of intergroup tolerance). The significance of the results obtained is that the identified mechanisms provide: 1) the formation of cognitive ideas about tolerance and focus on tolerant behavior; 2) formation of the valuable attitude to the honor and dignity of the individual, the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, mutual understanding and constructive cooperation with others; 3) development of skills of situations of tolerant behavior.

IntroductionDepressive disorders are common for cardiac patients; however, a surgical intervention enhances their distress. How typical is suicidal ideation for cardiac surgery patients and with what clinical and psychological signs does it correlate?ObjectivesTo estimate the frequency of suicidal ideation and correlations between suicidal ideation, clinical and psychological manifestations in cardiac surgery patients.MethodsWe examined 60 cardiac surgery patients, aged 25 – 65, prior to their operation. The Pierson correlation between manifestation of suicidal ideation, clinical and psychological signs was calculated with p<0.05.Results We revealed suicidal ideation in 3.33% of cardiac surgery patients. Its intensity credibly correlated with the frequency of taking alcohol (r=.32), as well as with manifestation of dysorexia (r=.59), dissatisfaction with life (r=.53), general level of depression (r=.49), sleeping disorders (r=.44), sense of guilt (r=.43), asthenia (r=.31), self-abhorrence (r=.29), and irritability(r=.29). A higher level of suicidal ideation correlated with a lower index of Positive-Past in their personal time perspective (r=-.27), which revealed itself in a patient having lack of positive impressions and recollections of their past life, which reduced a person’s adaptability in the present.ConclusionsThe frequency of suicidal ideation in preoperative cardiac surgery patients is not high. Nevertheless, we should bear in mind that high suicidal risk is characteristic for patients with not only depression, but also alcohol problems, as well as for those who have manifestations of negative attitude to their past.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
