Behaviour Control Features in People of Different Professions
Abstract
The article presents the results of the research of the psychological characteristics, including the behavior regulation, of people of different professions: with their activity strictly regulated (pilots, N = 44) and with flexible timetables (freelancers, teachers... N = 40). It is shown that there exist certain development features of the behavior control components (volitional, cognitive control and emotional regulation) and the relationship between these components in groups of people with a different degree of professional activity regulation. The behaviour control of pilots is characterized by a higher integration and interrelation of all the components, whereas the behavior control of people working flexible hours has lower connectivity and fragmentation of its components.
