Description

The invention relates to the field of psychology, social psychology, group therapy, sociocultural research and can be used in psychological training, sociological research, corporate culture for the diagnosis and correction of group stress reactions. The objectives of the proposed method: 1. Identify the dominant stress scenarios in the socio-cultural group. 2. To promote the popularization of ideas about modern stress culture and stress scenarios among participants. Participants are divided into 3 subgroups. Stage 1 1. All participants are given individual sheets on which they must individually answer a series of questions: - What values do you think are most important for members of your social group? (Check 1 to 3 values) - What, in your opinion, are the main problems, threats and fears of our society? - Which of the following words do you like the most? (Check 1 to 3 words) (words: Libra, Kaleidoscope, Constructor, Fortress, Mill, Open Gate, Ruins, Temple, Spinning Top) Which of the following words do you dislike the most? (Check 1 to 3 words) (Words: Libra, Kaleidoscope, Constructor, Fortress, Mill, Open Gates, Ruins, Temple, Spinning Top) The sheets of paper are folded and handed to the leader. 2. Participants are divided into three groups, after which they are given a sheet of Whatman paper and given the following instructions: "Please draw the main problems, threats, and fears that, in your opinion, most concern our society (4-6 pieces). When drawing, please leave approximately 40% of the sheet free for work in the second stage. You have 25 minutes." 3. Participants are asked to note in a special protocol what problems, threats and fears they depicted. 4. Participants are asked to indicate which, in their opinion, social values are dominant (no more than 3) in our society today? The results of stage 1 are processed as follows: 1. The choices of individually preferred values are summed up and the dominant ones are determined. 2. Individual word preferences are summed up. 3. Individual word rejections are summed up. 4. A correlation is established between the group’s choice of values and the pattern of fears and problems. Stage 2 1. Participants pass the sheet of Whatman paper with drawings clockwise to the next group. 2. All participants are given the following instructions: "Imagine that you need to protect society from the problems and fears depicted in the drawings. Complete the previous group's work to neutralize or adapt to the threat. You can review the previous group's protocol to better understand the material you will be working with. You have 25 minutes." 3. Participants are asked to record in a special protocol what methods of protecting society from problems, threats, and fears they depicted. They are also asked to note how the group worked—whether they collaborated on a common idea, or individually, each working on their own drawing. 4. Participants are asked to discuss in a group which social values they believe are essential for implementing their neutralization and adaptation ideas, without which this would be impossible. Participants are asked to select three core values and write them down. The results of stage 2 are processed as follows: 1. Images of ways to neutralize threats or adapt to them are correlated with the methods of protecting society from problems, threats, and fears recorded by the participants, after which code phrases are formulated. 2. In case of individual work of group members, code phrases are grouped. 3. Correlations are established between code phrases and descriptions of stress scenarios and the core values chosen by the participants. Stage 3 1. Participants pass the sheet of Whatman paper with drawings clockwise to the next group. 2. All participants are given the following instructions: "Your task now is to analyze the results of the previous two groups' work and determine the problems and threats facing modern society and the stress scenarios it uses to cope with them. Please review the work of the previous two groups, which will be used to formulate your expert opinion. You have 25 minutes to complete this task, after which each group will present its conclusion." The results of stage 3 are processed as follows: 1. The results of the analysis of participants' preferred stress scenarios of other groups are summarized. 2. The values prevailing in stages 1 and 2 are compared with the stress scenarios voiced at this stage (see Figs. 1, 2). A general conclusion is drawn about the homogeneity and the presence/absence of a common stress scenario for the small group. A method for psychologically adapting children to dental treatment is known (Russian Federation Patent RU 2452525, December 14, 20210). It utilizes a combination of various diagnostic and art therapy techniques (creating a new drawing and completing an existing one, and game-based activities). A distinctive feature is the development of a diagnostic conclusion by the participants themselves. The foll
