PECULIARITIES OF ADAPTATION OF TEENAGERS IN DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE BIOLOGICAL CYCLE

Abstract

The article describes the individually-psychological features of adaptation to the living-through the different periods of a large biological cycle according to the concept of the Scientific School «The Psychology of Time» by D.G Elkin – B.J.Tsukanov. The τ (tau)-type of adolescents and their typological group, the phase of passage of the Large Biological Cycle was experimentally established. It is proved that the sanguine, choleric and melancholic react with an increase of activity, which is an inadequate manifestation of adaptive abilities especially for the melancholic, during the recession. It was demonstrated that at the end of a large biological cycle, an inadequate response of adaptive abilities is a compensatory mechanism when the number of hyperthymic and cyclotyme reactions decreases, as well as the short-term ones: imbalance, exaltation, conflict and impulsivity increase. It has been shown that in the period 2 ¼ С the number of manifestations of maladaptation among adolescents generally decreases.
