Abstract
The article presents the results of an empirical study into the effects of future psychologists’ reflexivity on the formation of their ambiguity tolerance. The study found that future psychologists’ reflexivity index was mainly at the low and medium levels, while all types of their reflexivity were mainly at the medium and high levels. The indicators of the development of reflexivity had an antinomic (dialectical) character, which implied that future psychologists needed both low and medium reflexivity. One can speak of the minimum, optimal and maximum manifestations of reflexivity in future psychologists. The author analyzes the effects of social, demographic, educational and professional factors on the development of future psychologists’ reflexivity. The analysis of variance revealed a positive impact of training on future psychologists’ reflexivity. Other factors including gender, age, level of education, form of study, previous work experience, and prospects of remaining in the profession, did not affect the respondents’ reflexivity. The study also found statistically significant relationship between the psychology students’ reflexivity and ambiguity tolerance diagnostic scales, in particular, reflexivity positively correlated with ambiguity tolerance and the novelty of the ambiguity problem. Situational, retrospective, perspective, and communication reflexivity had negative correlations with optimism, courage, adaptability, confidence and ambiguity tolerance, which were used as indicators of future psychologists’ ambiguity tolerance. The low and medium levels of reflexivity associated with the medium level of ambiguity tolerance. Only every third respondent was shown to have high reflexivity and ambiguity tolerance. Further research may focus on the theoretical substantiation and development of a future psychologists’ reflexivity development program in the context of person-oriented training.
