This paper presents the results from the Bulgarian adaptation of Lie Scale from M. Bond’s questionnaire measuring defense styles and defensemechanisms. 994 subjects between 15 and 56 years participated in the study. All items had an optimal difficulty, and good discriminativepower. The factor structure of the scale was confirmed. Its reliability as internal consistency and test-retest reliability is acceptable. The normswere defined for the whole sample, not differentiated by social categories, because there were not any significant differences on the scalescore between the social categories of people. There were some significant differences on some items in gender, age sub-groups, familystatus, and occupation. These differences were consistent with some other authors’ findings when using some other scales measuring socialdesirability
a[a] ЮЗУ "Неофит Рилски", Благоевград, България (South-West University "Neofit Rilski", Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria). РезюмеТази статия представя различни аспекти на самореализацията -свързани със здравословния статус, със самоактуализацията, с някои умения и способности (специално механично-техническите), със самоопределението и с адаптацията и професионалната самореализация на студенти. Бяха проведени три изследвания в периода 2011-2012 в България. 73 студенти бяха изследвани относно тяхната потребност от самоактуализация чрез модификация на скала от въпросника за потребности на Gercheva-Nestorova, базиран на теорията на Maslow. Повече от половината от тях се стремят към самоактуализация в средна и висока степен. 55 студенти бяха изследвани чрез МТА -компютризирана методика за изследване на механично-технически способности, част от Виенската тестова система. Ниските и средните резултати преобладаваха. 42 студенти бяха изследвани относно тяхната адаптация към учебния процес. 1/3 от отговорите им индикираха тяхната не добра адаптираност в учебния процес, отнасяща се до тяхната професионална самореализация (нежелана специалност, проблеми с изпитите и с преподавателите, липса на желание за учене). Удовлетворените студенти, които изучават желана специалност, са по-добре адаптирани. Повече от половината от студентите в тази извадка се стремят към професионална самореализация чрез изучаваната от тях специалност, независимо от първоначалната им професионална ориентация. AbstractThis paper deals with different aspects of self-realisation -related to the health status, to the self-actualization, to some skills and abilities (especially mechanical and technical ones), to the self-determinism, and to the students' adaptation and professional self-realisation. Three studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 in Bulgaria. 73 students were studied about their need for self-actualization by means of a modified scale from Gercheva-Nestorova's questionnaire for needs based on Maslow's theory. More than a half of them strived for self-actualization in a medium and high degree. 55 students were studied by means of MTA -a computerized method for measuring mechanical and technical abilities that is a part of Vienna Test System. The low and medium results prevailed. 42 students were studied about their adaptation to the educational process. 1/3 of the students' responses indicated their maladaptation in the educational process concerning their professional self-realisation (undesired subject, problems with the exams and with the lecturers, lack of desire for study). The satisfied students who studied a desired subject were better adapted. More than a half of the students in this sample strived for professional self-realisation through the specialty they studied in, independent on their initial professional orientation.
