The Erasmus+ academic mobility program of representatives of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Psychology and Social Sciences at UKEN (University of the Commission of National Education) in Krakow continues meaningfully and productively. The third day of the stay was dedicated to the development of professional competencies, the exchange of scientific and practical experience and direct communication with the Polish student community.
Within the framework of the third day of academic mobility, teachers of the Department of Theory and Methods of Practical Psychology held lectures for 2nd year psychology students of UKEN on relevant areas of modern psychological science. Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Methods of Practical Psychology OLENA GREK presented a lecture “Information and Psychological Security in Youth: Essence and Determinants”. During the lesson, the content of information and psychological security of the individual in the digital environment, the peculiarities of youth, the issues of forming digital identity, the development of critical thinking and psychological resilience were revealed. Considerable attention was paid to factors that help a person resist destructive information influences and manipulations. The theoretical material of the lecture was supplemented with practical tasks aimed at self-diagnosis of the level of psychological security, development of reflection and analysis of one's own experience of interaction with the information space. This format allowed students not only to gain new knowledge, but also to immediately apply it to understand real life situations.
Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Methods of Practical Psychology OLENA KOSYANOVA gave a lecture "Methods and Techniques of Lie Detection: Application of the Polygraph in Modern Psychodiagnostics". The lecture considered the psychological mechanisms of deceptive behavior and modern approaches to its diagnosis. Particular attention was focused on the analysis of non-verbal behavior, verbal-linguistic signs of insincerity, microexpressions, emotional incongruence and psychophysiological reactions of a person during the concealment of information. The students were particularly interested in the issue of the use of the polygraph in modern psychodiagnostic practice. An important part of the lecture was the presentation of the author's methodology "Types and Motives of Lying" by OLENA KOSYANOVA, which allows you to study the individual characteristics of insincere behavior and determine the individual's tendency to various forms of lying. Polish psychology students actively participated in the discussion, asked meaningful questions, analyzed cases and expressed interest in the Ukrainian experience in the field of information and psychological security and the use of the polygraph in modern psychodiagnostics.
The third day became a professionally significant dialogue between Ukrainian and Polish psychologists-scientists, contributed to the dissemination of scientific and practical developments of the Department of Theory and Methods of Practical Psychology and the expansion of international cooperation in the field of training future psychologists.
