Abstract  
Purpose of the study: The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that first-year students find themselves in a completely  
new and unusual for them social conditions, and very often, the process of adaptation to them is unconstructive. It is important for  
teachers and psychologists not only to create conditions for the effective development of the adaptive potential of the student's  
personality, but also the conditions for changing the negative personal characteristics that can cause students dis-adaptation and hinder  
the effective process of their professionalization and socialization in the future. The article aims to study the features of reflection, self-  
actualization and creativity of first-year students associated with their socio-psychological maladjustment. Methodology: The leading  
theoretical method for the study of this problem is the content analysis of scientific works related to the problem of research, allowing  
a comprehensive analysis of the factors associated with the problem of socio-psychological maladjustment of first-year students.  
Empirical methods were the study conducting using valid diagnostic techniques corresponding to the purpose of the study, statistical  
analysis and generalization of the results. Results: The article presents the results of an empirical study of the features of reflection,  
self-actualization and creativity in socially and psychologically dis-adaptive first year students at the University. It is established that  
the socio-psychological maladjustment of first-year students can be caused by various factors at the physiological, social and  
psychological level. Applications of this study: The materials of the article are of practical value for the development of psychological  
and pedagogical programs aimed at increasing the adaptive potential of students in the process of studying at the University.  
Novelty/Originality of this study: One of the main factors contributing to the appearance of the socio-psychological maladjustment is  
the lack of constructive systemic reflection, values, skills and aspirations of the self-actualizing personality, as well as personal and  
social creativity, motivation for self-improvement, self-realization and self-development, skills of setting and achieving goals,  
understanding life prospects and the ability to adequately and creatively behave in a situation of uncertainty in social interaction.

processes, problems in interpersonal communication  
First-year students are at the stage of transition from  
adolescence to youth, which in itself is a complex socio-  
psychological process. In addition, having entered the  
University, they find themselves in completely new and  
unusual for them social conditions, and very often, the process

One of the most important activities of teachers and  
psychologists of higher education in modern conditions is the  
adaptation of students to the educational and professional  
environment, their personal and professional development, the  
formation of not only occupational knowledge and skills, but  
also those that will contribute to the successful social and labor  
life activity, construct the foundations of professionalism. At  
the same time, it is necessary not only to create conditions for  
the effective development of the adaptive potential of the  
student's personality, but also conditions for changing the  
negative personal characteristics that can interfere with the  
effective process of professionalization and socialization of  
students in the future.  
students. A reflection activated from the outside, its excessive  
saturation, excessive mobility, or, conversely, the stability of  
reflexive images prevent the establishment of a harmonious  
combination of the educational environment’s requirements  
and the needs and capabilities of the student, which contributes  
to the development of maladaptation (13,20,21).  
However, reflection, being a process of understanding,  
determines the attitude of the individual to both the external  
and internal world, acts as a special property that expresses  
consciousness and self-consciousness, the condition of the  
individual’s existence in society, the process and the result of  
a complex of self-awareness, self-knowledge and self-esteem,  
the basis of the uniqueness and originality of the individual,  
realized through his/her self-realization and self-actualization.  
It is reflection that contributes to self-improvement, self-  
realization, self-disclosure of the individual, taking into  
account all external and internal conditions for personification  
and awareness of the meaning of life. With the help of  
reflection, a person analyzes, predicts, corrects, regulates  
his/her behavior and is able to build it in the most effective  
way. It is the features of reflection that allow a person to reveal  
his/her adaptive potential, regulate and transform it,  
successfully adapting to changing social conditions (3).  
Reflection is the basis of the individual’s self-  
actualization, as for the effective realization of oneself in life,  
meaningfulness, thoughtfulness of actions, a clear awareness  
of one's goals and capabilities are necessary. Reflection acts as  
a mechanism for building both the goals themselves and the  
behavior focused on their achievement. For self-realization  
and self-improvement, for successful and effective socio-  
psychological adaptation and socialization, a person should be  
able to adequately use his/her ability to reflect and apply the  
information obtained with its help (1,2).  
There are several approaches to understanding the socio-  
psychological maladjustment in modern social psychology:  
-
It is a process that is not associated with any pathologies, the  
cause of which is the situation of withdrawal from certain  
habitual conditions of life activity and getting used to new  
ones;  
-
This is a process due to the interaction of the individual with  
the social environment, in which there is no proper  
coordination of its participants’ expectations;  
-
It is a state characterized by internal dissonance, the cause of  
which is the internal conflict between the attitudes of the  
individual and his/her specific life experience (27).  
Socio-psychological maladjustment is such a violation of  
the interaction in the system personality  environment, in  
which the processes of the individual’s adaptation to life  
activity in society, providing a harmonious combination of the  
requirements of society and needs, motives, interests of the  
individual, become difficult or inadequate. There is  
misalignment of attitude to the world and Outlook of a  
personality with social values, norms and traditions, the  
weakening or loss of social ties in the system personality –  
social institution, resulting in the displacement from a  
situation of personal development, the status of psychological  
isolation in interpersonal and social relationships, loss of a  
sense of belonging to society take place (4).  
One of the important means of regulation of adaptation  
processes of students is reflection, aimed at understanding  
both the transformations of the outside world, and  
intrapersonal transformations due to changes in the social  
environment, including education (12,17, 25).  
Reflection as a property of the human psyche particularly  
actively develops at the youthful stage of its formation, which  
includes the period of higher education. Reflection of the  
personality is a poly-processing formation, which is based on  
cognitive processes aimed at the inner world. They are  
determined by the peculiarities of cognition, rethinking and  
designing by the personality of his/her activity, place in it and  
image as a subject of activity (26). Reflection in the formation  
of personality is a realized, experienced, unique system of  
ideas about yourself, on the basis of which the process of  
interaction with others and the regulation of their own behavior  
and activities takes place (8,11,23).  
Self-actualization is  
a fundamental property of a  
psychologically healthy, socially and psychologically adapted  
personality, which seeks to fully realize its potential, self-  
develop, maintain and maximize its best features. As a process,  
self-actualization implies a personal choice in favor of  
personal development based on a well-established system of  
values, deep reflection and an adequate image of one's self  
(
29).  
Self-actualization is the desire of the individual to find,  
develop and realize his/her abilities, talents and opportunities  
as fully as possible, and is an integrative characteristic that  
involves the formation of a multi-faceted personality in the  
process of education and upbringing and provides for the  
presence of appropriate socializing conditions (19).  
Activity associated with the self-actualization of the  
individual, makes it possible to consider a person as a subject  
of activity, having the ability to choose, understand and do it  
with appropriate adequacy. This activity consists in the  
cognition and interpretation of the perceived external and  
internal world. The expansion of the possibility of  
interpretation, understanding, awareness and acquisition of  
new skills of social interaction for successful adaptation in  
society is impossible without the use of creative abilities,  
creativity of the individual in this activity (28).  
A number of researchers note that reflection plays a dual  
role in the process of adaptation of students to the educational  
environment of the University. Such mechanisms of reflection  
as mental repetition and emotionally positive reinforcement of  
actions, clarity of reflexive images in the operational response  
to situational changes and the creation of stable motivation  
contribute to the effective socio-psychological adaptation of  
Reflection is also a necessary condition for the transition  
of creative activity from the level of the unconscious to the  
level of awareness. This process transforms any activity,  
including creative one, which becomes possible by changing  
individual behaviors and bringing the real idea of oneself

closer to the ideal one. Creative potential (creativity) of a  
person is a complex of unique abilities that allow generating  
new ideas and creating new products. This is the ability to  
make non-standard effective decisions based on the analysis of  
available information, to go beyond stereotypes, to adapt and  
self-realize (24).  
- To determine the groups of students with different levels of  
socio-psychological adaptation, we used the method of  
diagnosis of socio-psychological adaptation of K. Rogers and  
R. Diamond (9);  
- the questionnaire Differential type of reflexing developed by  
D.A. Leontiev and E.N. Osin (2014) was used to study the  
features of reflection (18);  
In Russian psychology and pedagogy creativity is  
considered as the inherent ability of the individual to create,  
implemented in appropriate conditions, as the ability to create  
new concepts and the formation of new skills, as an internal  
tendency to search-transformative attitude of the individual to  
the surrounding reality, manifested through the search-  
transformative activity, as the unconscious creative ability of  
the individual to generate a variety of models of the world and  
as a willingness to effectively realize their abilities (14).  
Creativity performs a positive function in people's lives.  
At the level of interpersonal communication, it helps to solve  
the problems of relations with other people. In economic  
terms, creativity helps to improve labor efficiency, create new  
innovative financially profitable products and services, and  
ways to implement them, adapt to the ever-changing market  
conditions. At the social level, it meets the need for new views  
and solutions to maintain social balance, to find effective  
answers to the challenges of the changing political and social  
situation in its society and in the world as a whole (16).  
Social creativity is understood as a complex of personal  
qualities that allows solving the problem situations of social  
- To study the characteristics of self-actualization the  
technique for diagnostics of self-actualization of A.V.  
Lazukin adaptated by N.F. Kalin was used (9);  
- To study the peculiarities of personal and social creativity the  
technique for diagnostics of personal creativity developed by  
E.E. Tunik (9) and the method of determining the personality’s  
social creativity of A.V. Batarshev (2005) was used (6).  
In total, the study involved 274 first-year students studying  
at universities of Kazan, both in humanitarian and technical  
specialties, including 153 girls and 121 young men.  
According to the results of the study, a low level of social  
and psychological adaptation was found among 30.19% of  
students, the average level among 33.96%, and high among  
35.85% of students, therefore, we can say that a third of first-  
year students are socially and psychologically maladapted.

.1 First-Year Students’ Features of Reflexing with  
Different Levels of Social and Psychological Adaptation  
The study results of reflexing features among socially-  
psychologically maladapted and adapted first-year students on  
the questionnaire Differential type of reflection are presented  
in table 1.  
(
interpersonal) interaction in an original and constructive way.  
Social creativity combines into a single system motivational,  
communicative, intellectual, emotional and existential  
parameters that are separate units of personality characteristics  
and have their own value in interpersonal interaction, and the  
level of formation of each of these personality parameters  
determines the degree of development of social creativity (15).  
As can be seen from the table, students with a low level of  
socio-psychological adaptation have significantly lower  
indicators of system reflexing, which is a constructive kind of  
reflexing, is the ability to perceive the situation of social  
interaction in a complex, taking into account the position of  
the subject of interaction, and the position of the object of  
interaction. It can be said that such students, compared with  
successfully socially-psychologically adapted students, have a  
much weaker ability to look at themselves from the outside, to  
distance themselves from their own feelings, thoughts,  
decisions, actions and adequately relate to other people and to  
themselves in order to know themselves and work with their  
inner world. In any situation, they are not able to fully see one  
of its most important elements  themselves, which leads to  
difficulties and failures in solving existential problems.  
Socially-psychologically maladapted students have  
significantly higher indicators of such an unconstructive type  
of reflexing as quasi- reflexing that is, a tendency to reasoning  
on abstract topics, resonant speculation and groundless  
fantasies.

The theoretical method of research, which allows a  
comprehensive review of the degree of this problem’s  
development and identify the main approaches to its  
understanding and the factors that represent the target for the  
correction of socio-psychological maladjustment in the student  
environment, especially in the first year of study, is the content  
analysis of scientific works related to the problem of socio-  
psychological adaptation and criteria that determine its  
characteristics at the personal-reflective and cognitive-creative  
level.

.2 Empirical Methods  
We conducted an empirical study aimed at studying the  
personality-reflective and cognitive-creative features of  
students with different levels of social and psychological  
adaptation using the following techniques:

psychological adaptation.  
According to the level of formation of another non-  
constructive type of reflexing  introspection , there were no  
significant differences between socially-psychologically  
maladapted and adapted students. Therefore, they are  
approximately equally have tendency to focus on internal  
cognitive, emotional and other mental processes and States,  
which allows them to obtain material for self-understanding,  
self-knowledge, but can rarely become a real new knowledge  
about themselves.  
3.3 Features of Personal and Social Creativity of First-  
Year Students with Different Level of Social and  
psychological adaptation  
The study results of personal creativity features among  
socially-psychologically maladapted and adapted first-year  
students by the method of diagnosis of personal creativity are  
presented in table 3.  
The results of the study suggest that socially-  
psychologically maladapted first-year students have more  
pronounced characteristics of personal creativity, such as risk  
appetite, less developed complexity and personal creativity in  
General. They are prone to risky actions that are not justified  
by the conditions of the current situation, or the possibility of  
obtaining a positive effect in the future, to defend the point of  
view that they consider their own, by any means, are not able  
to sufficiently analyze the causes and consequences of their  
actions. They are less focused on deep knowledge of various  
phenomena than adapted students, they are less interested in  
complex objects and ideas, difficult tasks cause a negative  
reaction in them and do not cause a desire to solve them, and  
if their solution is necessary, they try to use outside help. They  
are not persistent in achieving their goals and strive to fulfill  
their desires, satisfy their needs and solve their problems in the  
easiest way.  
3.2 Features of Self-Actualization among First-Year  
Students with Different Level of Social and Psychological  
Adaptation  
The study results of the features of self-actualization  
among socially-psychologically maladapted and adapted first-  
year students by the method of diagnosis of personality self-  
actualization are presented in table 2.  
The data obtained indicate that socially and  
psychologically maladapted first-year students have  
significantly weaker characteristics of self-actualizing  
personality, such as values, the need for knowledge, creativity,  
autonomy,  
self-understanding  
and  
flexibility  
in  
communication, and such characteristics as spontaneity are  
more pronounced.  
Thus, we can say that socially-psychologically maladapted  
students studying in the first year of higher education, to a  
much lesser extent share the values inherent in self-actualizing  
personality and associated with good, truth, beauty, integrity,  
uniqueness, perfection, achievements, self-sufficiency, justice,  
order, the presence of which is the basis of the harmonious  
existence and activity of the individual in society.  
Dis-adapted first-year students tend to avoid new  
experiences, they have a weaker ability to social cognition,  
weakened interest in subjects and phenomena that are not  
directly related to the satisfaction of their actual needs, desires  
and drives, and they do not appreciate enough what they have.  
They have difficult self-actualization, as poorly such its  
mandatory attribute as a creative attitude to life or creativity is  
developed. Poorly formed desire and ability to autonomy in  
maladapted students indicate violations of the integrity and  
completeness of their personality, lack of ability to self-  
support, weakness of internal locus control, dependence on  
other people or external circumstances, the prevalence of  
negative freedom from... over positive freedom for ....  
Socially-psychologically dis-adapted first-year students  
are characterized by insensitivity to their own needs and  
desires, misunderstanding them, a tendency to substitute their  
priorities and assessments with external social standards, self-  
doubt, and orientation to the opinions of other people.  
Such students have difficulties in establishing friendly and  
strong interpersonal relationships, for adequate self-expression  
in society. They are prone to manipulative or insincere  
communication, rigid, are not sure that communication with  
them is interesting and brings pleasure to others that they are  
attractive to those with whom they communicate.  
As for personal creativity as an integral characteristic,  
according to the results of the study, it can be concluded that  
this characteristic among first-year students with a low level  
of social and psychological adaptation is significantly weaker  
than that of successfully adapted students. They are  
characterized by a low level of creativity, that is, they cannot  
at the proper level to perceive and generate non-standard ideas,  
to solve complex problems and problem situations in non-  
traditional way, go beyond traditional thinking schemes, and  
create innovative products in the process of their activities.  
The results of the study of social creativity features among  
socially-psychologically maladapted and adapted first-year  
students by the method of determining the social creativity of  
the individual are presented in table 4.  
The table shows that the social creativity of students with  
a low level of social and psychological adaptation is also  
significantly less developed than that of students with a high  
level. That is, they are less able to find creative, non-standard  
approaches to solving various social problems, to identifying  
and solving complex problems of social life. They are less  
characterized by the ability to dynamically and flexibly behave  
in interpersonal interaction; they often experience situational  
tension in the situation of social interaction.We can say that  
dis-adapted first-year students have less social competence,  
less developed social intelligence, social thinking and  
imagination as cognitive components of social creativity. They  
observed a weaker development of supra-situation activity,  
active social cognition, and search for a new experience in  
terms of social reality, the ability to transgressive actions,  
expanding and changing personal social space as personal  
bases of a behavioral component of social creativity. If we talk  
about the personal basis of the affective component of social  
creativity, such students are characterized by a reduced interest  
in the social world, non-creative, convergent and weakly  
emotionally colored attitude to it.  
They are more prone to commit rash, sometimes  
irresponsible, actions, to rash communicative reactions caused  
by momentary emotions and desires, which also prevents their

The motivational component of social creativity is  
characterized by the lack of a clearly expressed desire to  
improve themselves, self-actualize and develop as a person.  
The existential component is characterized by a lack of clear  
life goals, meaningfulness and awareness of life, a sense of life  
prospects and weak authenticity of the individual. Socially-  
psychologically dis-adapted first-year students feel very  
uncomfortable in situations of uncertainty, which are  
unpredictable and activities in which are carried out in  
incomplete and contradictory conditions, which is typical for  
most situations of social interaction.  
adaptive capacity of students in the first year of study to  
improve their socio-psychological adaptation,  
professionalization and socialization.  
Based on the analysis of scientific literature on the  
research topic, we concluded that the socio-psychological  
maladjustment of students at the first stage of study at the  
University is an integrative process that can be caused by:  
-
At the physiological level deviations of mental  
development and neuropsychiatric diseases, the causes of  
which are functional-organic lesions of the Central nervous  
system;  
-
On a psychological level  the mental and psychological  
changes during the transition from the adolescent stage of  
personality development to youth, as well as the individual  
characteristics of the development of the psyche, such as  
accentuation of character, peculiarities of emotional-  
volitional, cognitive, and motivational processes;

Conclusion  
The study relevance of the features of reflection, self-  
actualization and creativity among first-year students with  
socio-psychological maladaptation is due to the fact that the  
first year of study at the University is a difficult transition  
period from adolescence to youth and maladaptation at this  
stage can cause various mental disorders, including intellectual  
and cognitive processes, problems in interpersonal  
communication, deviant behavior, psychosomatic diseases,  
stress or depression, in the worst case can cause suicide. It is  
important to study all the necessary targets to improve the

aAt the social level the difficulties of adaptation to the new  
social environment of the University and to the new social role  
of the student, possible deformations of value orientations,  
moral and ethical standards, a tendency to deviant behavior  
that arose at an earlier stage of personal development.  
Theoretical analysis of scientific research has led to the  
conclusion that one of the important factors determining the

Empirical research has shown that to increase the level of  
socio-psychological adaptation of maladapted first-year  
students, it is necessary in psychological and pedagogical  
activity to focus on changing such features of their reflection  
as the formation of skills of constructive systemic reflection,  
increasing the ability to perceive any complex situation of  
social interaction, both from the perspective of the subject and  
the object of interaction. It is important to reduce the tendency  
to reasoning on abstract topics and unfounded fantasies instead  
of focusing on the real, effective resolution of problem  
situations, to teach them to look at the situation and themselves  
in it from the outside, to adequately relate to other people and  
to themselves in order to know themselves and work with their  
inner world.  
In the aspect of self-actualization, it is necessary to instill  
in socially-psychologically maladapted first-year students the  
values inherent in the self-actualizing personality, the presence  
of which is the basis of the harmonious existence and activity  
of the individual in society. It is necessary to form their interest  
and ability to social knowledge, to autonomy in thinking,  
behavior and activities, to an adequate understanding of their  
own needs and priorities, to adequate self-expression and  
building friendly and strong interpersonal relationships, to  
commit deliberate actions and appropriate emotional and  
communicative response in any situation.  
As for creativity, in order to improve the socio-  
psychological adaptation of first-year students, it is important  
to develop their creative abilities, the ability to non-standard  
solutions to various problems and the generation of innovative  
ideas, go beyond traditional thinking schemes. It is necessary  
to build up their social competence, social intelligence, social  
thinking and imagination, supra-situation activity, social  
cognition, and increase their interest in social world and to  
develop divergent emotional attitude. In addition, it is  
necessary to form a stable motivation for self-improvement,  
self-realization and self-development, skills of setting and  
achieving goals, understanding of life prospects and the ability  
to adequately and creatively behave in a situation of  
uncertainty in social interaction.  
The study of psychological characteristics of maladjusted  
students in the first year of study is necessary to improve the  
efficiency of university educational and socializing activities,  
building effective and constructive trajectories of their socio-  
psychological adaptation. The materials of the article can be  
useful for psychologists, University teachers, curators of  
student groups and are of practical importance for the  
development of psychological and pedagogical programs  
aimed at improving the students’ adaptive capacity in the  
process of studying at the University.
