Human Functional State and Individual Stress-Resistance
Abstract
The talk is devoted to the recent development in concept of human functional state (HFS) elaborated in the framework of activity regulation approach (Leontiev, 1975; Leonova, 1985; 1994, 2003). Starting with analysis of regulatory mechanisms of on-going tasks’ performance, we plan to discuss methods of evaluation of HFS multilevel structure (acute and chronic fatigue, monotony, emotional tension, etc.). The emphasis will be an integration of two hitherto independent lines of research – the HFS dynamics vs. the individual’s abilities to cope with stressful life events. A new model for evaluation of individual stress-resistance, elaborated on the base of “state-trait paradigm”, will be described (Leonova, 2008, 2010). The results of our recent experimental modeling studies (task switching under influence of negative emotional feedback) and more traditional psychometric research (carried out on the personnel working in highly demanding conditions) exemplify the diagnostic properties of this integrative model. We also plan to shortly address the methodology of using the model for correction of currently negative HFS and compiling health/human resilience promotion programs. New data on the genetic involvement in some but not other components of individual stress resistance based on a recent study with a large sample of twins pairs (Leonova et al., in preparation) will be presented at the end of this talk.

Existe entre los sistemas cognitivo y emocional del individuo
03-30-2009
Científicos de la Universidad de Granada investigan la relación que existe entre los sistemas cognitivo y emocional del individuo, con el objetivo de determinar el estado emocional del individuo y su propensión al riesgo. Este estudio permitirá en un futuro predecir y modificar estas conductas actuando de una manera más concreta y precisa en las políticas de prevención de riesgos, como tráfico, riesgos laborales o salud.

The UGR will host the first European research laboratory that will study risk behavior while driving motorcycles</p>
<p>UGR News Granada University will host the first research center of Europe where it will study the mental mechanisms by which teens run risk behaviors while driving motorcycles, which could serve, in the not too distant future, to modify and to avoid . The School of Psychology will host three-generation simulators to date had one in the UGR, which will be used to investigate these mechanisms, thanks to an agreement signed with the company Honda Motor Co. (Europe), and that make the university one of the most important centers worldwide that work this area.</p>

Acogerá un observatorio europeo sobre motoristas
La Universidad de Granada albergará el primer centro de investigación de Europa donde se estudiarán los mecanismos mentales por los que los adolescentes ejecutan conductas de riesgo al conducir motocicletas, lo que podría servir para modificarlas y poder evitarlas.
