FEATURES OF THE PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL STATUS OF SUBJECTS OF EXTREME ACTIVITY

According to many domestic and foreign scientists, the ability of a person to maintain professional efficiency and integrated behavior in extreme conditions is primarily determined by psychophysiological factors. The specialists of extreme profile, due to the consciousness of a threat to life, there is a constant readiness for action, not always aware of them.

Aim. The paper presents empirical studies of the psychophysiological status of representatives of various difficult professions, including at the content level of the extreme component (dispatchers, servicemen, military pilots and specialists engaged in the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) recycling).

Materials and methods. Psychophysiological status was revealed with the use of electroencephalographic (EEG) study, data of simple (SVMR) and complex visual-motor reaction (CVMR) and color test of M. Lusher in the interpretation of I. Tcyganok.

Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the highest efficiency was found in firefighters and soldiers, the highest rates of stress, not going beyond the corridor standards are typical for submariners and specialists in the SNF recycling. In submariners, the professional load was reflected by an increase in the rhythm index A, in military pilots the level of operator performance increased due to the activation of compensatory mechanisms.
