Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the features of development of professional abilities of future psychologists. Methods: the method «Assessment of the level of reactive and personal anxiety» (Ch.D. Spielberger adapted by Yu.L. Khanin), the method «Diagnostics of the professional orientation of the individual» (B. Bass). Results. The results of the study of reactive anxiety of future psychologists of the control and experimental groups before the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in both groups have a high level of reactive anxiety. The study of personal anxiety of future psychologists of the control and experimental groups for the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in both groups have a high level of personal anxiety. The analysis of the professional orientation of future psychologists of the control and experimental groups for the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in the control group are focused on themselves, and in the experimental group – focused on communication. The study of reactive anxiety of future psychologists in the control and experimental groups after the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in both groups had a low level of reactive anxiety. The identification of personal anxiety in future psychologists in the control and experimental groups after the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in both groups had a low level of personal anxiety. The study of the professional orientation of future psychologists in the control and experimental groups after the psychocorrectional program showed that most students in the control group had a self-focus, while the experimental group had a business- focus. Conclusions. After the psychocorrectional program, there were quantitative and qualitative changes in the indicators of situational and reactive anxiety, as well as the orientation of students in the experimental group. These changes indicate the effectiveness of this program.
