Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to analyze the cognitive performance of young people on the basis of theoretical and empirical research of psychological rehabilitation of young people.
Method: Theoretical analysis of the conceptual framework of research on social anxiety and related cognitive-behavioral strategies; empirical research methods: conversation, questionnaires, testing using standardized methods: Social Anxiety Rating Scale (SPRS), Social Anxiety Scale SPIN (K. Connor et al.), YSQ – S3 (J. Young) to determine the early stages of social anxiety for determining early dysfunctional personality schemes; methods of mathematical statistics: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The sample consisted of 1st-4th year students aged 18 to 20 years old, a total of 110 young people.
Findings: It was found that the largest percentage of students (67.7 %) is characterized by low and below average levels of social anxiety, 27.6 % of the subjects – by an average level and 4.7 % of students show a high level of anxiety according to the SPIN methodology. None of the subjects showed a very severe degree of social anxiety, which borders on clinical cases and is expressed in social phobia.
Conclusion/Value: The social and psychological rehabilitation of youth experiencing the consequences of traumatic events, anxiety, fear, tension, or who are in a high-risk situation will be more effective and short-lived if their rehabilitation potential is actualized. Among the priority steps towards actualizing the rehabilitation potential of young people is the restoration of their resilience resources.
