The Structural Organization of the Event Space of the Time Perspective of the Personality of the Combatants

15

Abstract

The work is aimed at studying the structural organization of the event space of the time perspective of the personality of the combatants. The materials of an empirical study obtained on a sample of male combatants with manifestations of post-traumatic stress disorder are presented. The study involved respondents aged 20-53 years (32.5±8.94 years). The criteria for inclusion in the research group were the presence of mine-explosive and gunshot injuries, as well as normative cognitive status (29-30 points on the MMSE scale). The study was carried out using the following methods: the Mississippi scale for assessing post-traumatic reactions (military version), the method of event-based reconstruction of a person’s temporal perspective (Nikishina V.B., Petrash E.A.), the hospital scale of anxiety and depression (HADS), the method of detecting suicidal tendencies (CP-45) by P.I. Yunatskevich. As a result of the study of the structural organization of the event space of participants in hostilities with a high level of severity of manifestations of PTSD, a significant narrowing of the size of the present and future, the size of the event space as a whole, the disintegration of the event space of the present and future, as well as a decrease in the chronological length of the time perspective of the individual was revealed.
