Взаимосвязь целеустремленности, когнитивной гибкости и саморегуляции у женщин-исследователей в Индии

Контекст и актуальность. Студенты сталкиваются с рядом трудностей и требований в процессе своей научной работы. Предыдущие исследования показывают, что женщины-исследователи испытывают более высокий уровень академического давления, сталкиваются с отсутствием институциональной поддержки, трудностями в поддержании баланса между работой и личной жизнью, гендерной дискриминацией и ограниченными возможностями для профессионального роста. Цели. Данное исследование направлено на понимание природы целеустремленности и адаптивных навыков у студентов, которые помогают им преодолевать трудности и конфликты. В исследовании изучается целеустремленность и ее взаимосвязь с когнитивной гибкостью и саморегуляцией. Гипотеза. Нами выдвигается предположение, что между целеустремленностью, когнитивной гибкостью и саморегуляцией будет выявлена значительная положительная корреляция. Методы и материалы. Выборку исследования составили 100 женщин в возрасте от 22 до 35 лет, обучающихся в аспирантуре Университета Банарас Хинду (Варанаси, Индия). В рамках опроса были использованы три инструмента: Индекс стремлений (Aspiration Index), Опросник когнитивной флексибильности (Cognitive Flexibility Inventory) и Краткий опросник саморегуляции (Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire). В исследовании использовался корреляционный дизайн, а данные анализировались с помощью коэффициента корреляции Пирсона (линейной корреляции) в программе SPSS. Результаты. Результаты показали наличие значимых положительных взаимосвязей между целеустремленностью, когнитивной гибкостью и саморегуляцией. Было выявлено, что целеустремленность положительно коррелирует с когнитивной гибкостью (r = 0,228; p < 0,05) и саморегуляцией (r = 0,461; p < 0,01). Выводы. Работа над достижением личных целей может способствовать развитию когнитивной гибкости и саморегуляции у женщин-исследователей, позволяя им брать под контроль свою жизнь и принимать осознанные решения.
