general description

This test consists of stimulus material (eight color cards) and a methodological guide that contains a description of the test, testing procedure, numerical indicators and their calculation, processing, interpretation of results and applications (1-8). Interpretation tables allow you to simplify the processing of test results as much as possible.

The duration is 5-8 minutes.

The Luscher color test can be used on an individual basis. Along with an individual examination, a group examination is allowed.

Guidelines. Test procedure:the experimenter shuffles the colored cards and lays them out with their color surface up in front of the subject, after which he asks him to choose from eight colors the one he likes best, i.e. to highlightthe most pleasantcolor of eight. The experimenter puts the card with the selected color aside, turning the color side down, and writes down its number in the protocol table. The color selection procedure is repeated. If the subject cannot choose the most pleasant color, the experimenter suggests choosing the most unpleasant color and then suggests moving on to choosing pleasant colors.

After 2-3 minutes, the experimenterrepeats study: again lays out the cards with the color side up and invites the subject to choose their preferred colors again, explaining that the subject should not remember the layout order in the first choice or deliberately change it ..

To calculate the total deviation from the autogenous norm (SD)it is necessary to compare the order of places that the colors occupy in the child's choice with the "ideal" arrangement(34251607). First, the difference between the actual occupied space and the normative position of the color is calculated, then these differences (their absolute values, without taking into account the sign) are summed up. The CO value varies from 0 to 32 and can only be even . The CO value reflects a stable emotional background, i.e., the prevailing mood of the child.

The stimulus material for the test consists of standard multi-colored squares cut out of paper with sides from 28 mm to 50 mm. In the diagnosis of children, an incomplete set of 8 colored squares is usually used. Primary colors are (in the order of the number assigned to them):

The first two colors are considered clearly preferred, the third and fourth - preferred, the fifth and sixth - neutral, and the seventh and eighth - causing antipathy, a negative attitude.

A simplified examination procedure (for eight colors) is reduced to the simultaneous presentation of all colored squares on a white background to the subject with a proposal to choose one that is most pleasant, pleasant. The selected square is turned over and set aside, then the procedure is repeated. A series of squares is formed in which the colors are arranged according to their attractiveness to the subject.

The psychological interpretation of the obtained series of subjective color preferences is based, firstly, on the assumption that each color has a certain symbolic meaning, for example: red - the desire for power, dominance, green - perseverance, perseverance, etc.

Secondly, it is considered thatcolor preference rangereflects the individual characteristics of the subject. At the same time, the functional significance position occupied by a particular color. For example, it is believed that the first two positions of the series define the goals of the individual and how to achieve them, and the last two - the suppressed needs, symbolized by these colors. Choice in area primary colors is associated with conscious tendencies, and among other additional - with the sphere of the unconscious.

The first choice in the Luscher test characterizesdesired state, the second is real . Depending on the purpose of the study, it is possible to interpret the results of the appropriate testing and choose a rating system by comparing the results of the desired and actual state of the child.

Everything is simple! Take an interesting new test that psychologists use to determine the emotional state of a person.

So imagine that you are in a basement room. There are a lot of different things here.
Look around and answer the questions:⠀

• What was the first thing that caught your eye?
• What would you like to do with this item?
• Maybe you want to get rid of it?

We look at the picture, and only then we read the explanations for the test:

What does the subconscious mind tell you when you look at the picture of the basement room? ⠀

Swing

Symbolize an erotic game. These are erotic fantasies. They may talk about a desire or lack of intimacy. Not always, but they can show a certain obsession or addiction. ⠀

A bike

Symbolizes inner balance and your desire for something new. If you chose it, then you probably want to change the environment, reconsider values, or want change. ⠀

Lattice

A symbol of isolation and loneliness. This object indicates that you are in a state of anxiety or depression. ⠀

Stairs

Boxes, boxes

The boxes symbolize our personality. They are conditional containers that are meant to hide or close something inside. Consider what they are filled with. ⠀

Doll

Symbolizes a connection with childhood. It is difficult for you to grow up; you try to look younger than your years.

Open can of paint

Symbolizes your need to give vent to emotions and defend your opinion. ⠀

Closed paint can

It symbolizes your accumulated aggression, anxiety and insecurity that you hide from others. Your isolation prevents you from building relationships with other people.

basket of apples

It symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, the achievement of a personal goal and your happiness.

Nails

They symbolize violence towards themselves and others. This object shows a rather complicated emotional situation and an altered psyche.

Books

They symbolize the desire for knowledge, but if they are lowered into the basement, this may indicate that a person has lost and cannot find the meaning of his existence.

A hammer

The purpose of such meetings is to form the teacher's own program for protection against stress. The emotional state of the teacher undoubtedly affects the state of the students and the effectiveness of the educational process, so each teacher should have their own stress protection program, which can be compiled together with a psychologist.

Show teachers the relevance of emotional self-regulation;

Determine effective for each participant natural ways to regulate the emotional state;

Provide an opportunity to gain experience in the artificial regulation of the emotional state.

Test to determine the emotional state

To solve the first problem, a small test by K. Schreiner can be proposed to study the emotional state of teachers (Applied Psychology magazine, 2000).

Circle the numbers of the questions to which you answer yes.

1. I always strive to complete the work, but often I do not have time and have to (a) catch up.

2. When I look at myself in the mirror, I notice traces of fatigue and overwork on my face.

3. At work and at home - continuous trouble.

4. I get irritated over little things very often.

5. I am worried about the future.

6. Such changes are taking place around that the head is spinning. It would be nice if things didn't change so fast.

7. I find it hard to relax after a busy day.

8. I love my family and friends, but often I feel bored and empty with them.

9. I have not achieved anything in my life (la) and often feel disappointment in myself (oh) myself.

The number of positive answers shows the level of stress in a person. If 0-4 points are scored, then the person behaves in a stressful situation rather restrainedly and knows how to regulate his own emotions, does not get annoyed with others and is not inclined to blame himself.

If the total is 5-7 points, a person does not always behave correctly in a stressful situation. Sometimes he knows how to maintain his composure, but there are also cases when he starts up because of a trifle and then regrets it. In such a situation, it is necessary to develop your own individual methods of self-control in stress.

If 8–9 points are scored, the person is overworked and exhausted, often loses self-control in a stressful situation and does not know how to control himself. As a result, both he and the people around him suffer. The development of self-regulation skills in stress is a very important task for this person.

A study of the level of stress among teachers of Lyceum No. 8 in Krasnoyarsk shows that the majority receive a score in the range of 5–7 points (60%), 38% say that they received 8–9 points. And only 2% have a score of 0-4 points. Therefore, the relevance of developing anti-stress programs for teachers is clearly seen.

Program stages

To solve the following problem, it is advisable to acquaint teachers with the stages of the stress protection program, to form concepts natural and artificial ways of emotional self-regulation.

1st step. Watch yourself. What do you feel in the first minutes of stress? What happens to you when you lose your temper. This will help you accurately and timely notice that you are entering a “stress zone” and losing self-control.

2nd step. Find ways to stop yourself. At the first stage of stress, you need to take a break and, by an effort of will, interrupt your destructive action.

Pause in communication (be silent for a few minutes, instead of responding with irritation to an unfair action or remark);

Exit the room;

Move to another, remote part of the room;

Turn around and look out the window.

3rd step. Transfer your energy to another form of activity. Do something to relieve stress. If you are at work:

Sort through your business papers, water the flowers, etc.;

Go out into the corridor and talk to people you like, children;

Go to the window, look at the sky, trees, people walking down the street. Try to imagine what the people passing by are thinking;

Go to the restroom and hold your palms under cold water for 2-3 minutes.

Practice this break as often as possible at those moments when you feel that you are losing self-control in a stressful situation. It is important that the act of stopping oneself becomes a habit.

4th step. Seriously think about what moments at work help you relieve stress? What pleases you the most? What do you do with passion? Try to have some time every day for activities that bring you satisfaction and joy.

How to relieve stress

Practical psychologists distinguish two groups of methods that allow a person to relieve internal stress and calm down. Conventionally, they are called natural and artificial methods. Natural methods include all the “secrets” that help a person to restore internal emotional balance at home or at work and come to balance in a stressful situation.

There is a discussion with the meeting participants in a circle about what natural ways help to relax at work and at home. Teachers call mainly such means of self-help in stress:

Physical activity (sports, walking, cleaning, etc.). Most people note that it is important to get a little physically tired, and then psychological fatigue goes away, irritation noticeably decreases, or even completely disappears.

Water (swimming in the pool, water procedures: bath, shower, bath, sauna).

Hobbies (communication with children, walking with animals, car, reading, etc.).

Associating with calm, optimistic people.

Artificial self-help methods include purposefully created psychotechnical exercises to manage oneself in a stressful situation.

It is important to know some of them in order to use them at moments of increasing internal tension. These exercises help not to “splash out” irritation on others, to avoid the usual negative consequences: not to say hurtful words, maintain your health, self-confidence, avoid painful thoughts about your real and imaginary mistakes.

Examples of some psychotechnical exercises

Imagine that you have a secure and comfortable sanctuary where you can rest whenever you want. Only you know the way to this shelter, no one else will disturb you there.

It is not necessary that this place exists in life. If you don't have such a shelter in your life, invent it. It can be a small country house in a distant village or a small apartment on the outskirts of the city that no one knows about. It can be anything. It could even be a spaceship taking you away from Earth.

Imagine this place in your mind. Describe the things in it that you like and that create your living space. Imagine what you do when you rest in your hideout. perhaps you listen to music, look at the fire in the fireplace, read, draw, or something else. Try to think about the activities that you enjoy the most.

During the day, every time you feel especially tired and nervous, take a few minutes to imagine your retreat.

Sit down at the table and take colored pencils or felt-tip pens. You have a blank sheet of paper in front of you. Draw an abstract plot - lines, color spots, shapes. At the same time, it is important to completely immerse yourself in your experiences, choose a color and draw lines the way you want, in full accordance with your mood. Imagine that you are transferring your anxiety and anxiety to paper, trying to “splash out” it completely, to the end. Draw until the entire space of the sheet is filled and you feel calm. Your time is not limited now: draw as much as you need.

Then turn the paper over and write a few words that reflect your mood. Do not think for a long time, it is necessary that your words arise freely, without special control on your part.

After you have drawn your mood and put it into words, with pleasure, emotionally tear up the piece of paper and throw it into the trash. All! Now you have got rid of your tense state! Your tension has turned into a drawing and has already disappeared, just as this unpleasant drawing has disappeared for you.

You calmed down, but the problem that tormented you remained. It exists in your life and you cannot get rid of it with the help of techniques. We can only change our attitude towards it, but it is almost impossible to eliminate the problem from our lives.

Exercise “Attitude to the problem”

It is aimed at reducing the subjective significance of a problem situation for a person, at achieving inner peace and an adequate attitude to the existing problem. It is performed within 10-15 minutes.

Take a comfortable position, close your eyes. Try to imagine the following images-pictures.

Think about your problem, which has been worrying and tormenting you the most lately. Briefly formulate this problem for yourself in two or three words.

Imagine the face of a person with whom you recently discussed your problem. remember what he said and what you answered him. Reproduce in your imagination the situation of the room, the time and content of the conversation.

With the help of your imagination, try to see the situation from the outside, as if you have become an outside observer. For example, you see yourself and your interlocutor reflected in the mirror. Include your closest neighbors, acquaintances or relatives in this “picture”. What problems and unresolved issues do they have? What torments them and what obstacles do they have to overcome in life? Imagine the house you live in and the people who live with you.

When your picture expands and becomes clear to you, include in it your idea of ​​the city in which you live, think also about your country, its vast expanses and people inhabiting cities, villages, villages. Expanding your imagination, now imagine our entire Earth with its continents, oceans and billions of people living on it.

Moving on to the expansion of the “picture”: think of our solar system - a huge flaming Sun and the planets orbiting it. Try to feel the infinity of the Galaxy and its indifferent “calm” and even indifference towards some small human beings inhabiting the Earth.

While continuing to hold in your imagination this experience of the immense depth of the Cosmos, think again about your problem. Try to formulate it in two or three words.

To the question after the exercise “What do you feel?” usually people answer:

“I was able to calm down when I felt that my problem was negligible compared to the vast and majestic cosmos.”

“I'm surprised the problem didn't exist for me at all. When I could feel the immensity and eternity of the cosmos, at the end of the exercise, when I returned to my problem again, I could not formulate it.”

“My problem became less important to me as soon as I thought about how many people inhabit our country and the planet in general, how many people are really suffering!”

“I felt so good in space! And I didn’t want to return to Earth at all, and even more so to formulate problems again!”

Forms positive thinking skills, develops positive self-esteem.

Take a blank sheet of paper and divide it in half with a vertical line - you will have the left and right halves of the sheet. On the left side of the sheet, list your own shortcomings, numbering them in order. For example, you write:

For 10 minutes, write down all your negative qualities. You may have only three of these qualities, or maybe 20 or more. Here everything is strictly individual.

(While conducting this exercise in a group of teachers, I noticed that some participants immediately fill in the left side of the sheet, highlighting many of their shortcomings. Others think for a long time and carefully write down a few qualities. But in general, people easily and actively criticize themselves.)

After you have recorded your flaws and numbered them, turn to the right side of the sheet. Now try to translate each negative, in your opinion, quality that you wrote on the left side into a positive one, which you write down on the right side. At the same time, keep the numbering: translate the first quality-disadvantage, respectively, into the first quality-merit.

When filling out the right side of the sheet, do not limit yourself in time. You can work 10-15 minutes or more.

Do not be surprised, in fact, each quality of a person’s personality has neither a negative nor a positive sign, it is the people themselves who “hang” their assessments on them, depending on the situations they find themselves in.

In our example, filling the right side of the sheet might look like this.

1. Short temper - Energy

As a rule, people with a choleric temperament, active, active and mobile, are quick-tempered. They are able to quickly solve problems, are often sociable, open.

2. Incredulity - Life experience and depth

People become distrustful if in their life they were very open and trusted a person as much as possible. Their trust was betrayed and they "shut down". Such people often organize "checks" on their partner. And if in the course of such “checks” they come to the conclusion that he can be trusted, then this trust becomes really deep and reliable.

3. Suspiciousness - Subtlety, sensitivity, vulnerability

Suspicious people are sensitive people. They show suspiciousness when there is a lack of information about an event or a person. In business negotiations, such people are often excellent observers who will not miss any trifle, any seemingly insignificant detail. They have a well-developed intuition, and they sense danger faster than others.

2. Rush, rush forward - this is the meaning invested in this sign.
3. Overcome, push. This sign resembles a strong-willed, energetic person who overcomes any obstacle, simply cutting into it with his chest.
4. Inflexibility, straight posture - reflects the composure of a person, his determination.
5. No tension and relaxed sitting. The symbol really resembles a seated person.
6. Yield, retreat or stumble - this is the symbolic meaning of the sign. It depicts going back, refusing to move forward and break through.
7. To be weak, miserable, spineless, to squirm, as it were. The sign reflects helplessness, overturning.
8. Lie relaxed - this is the meaning of this sign, reminiscent of a half smile.

It is believed that by choosing signs, we thereby choose the posture and movement that we like and reject those that do not suit us. But there is a direct connection between our mood and state, and our movements. When we are cheerful and cheerful, our movements are strong and impetuous. Despondency is also reflected in a hunched posture and in a sluggish gesture, even in the direction of looking down. Read more about the meaning of gestures in the Neverbalik section, especially in the articles What do our gestures say? and Gestures of confidence.

The opposite idea is also true: by changing our movements, we can influence our mood and state. On this account, there is a whole direction in psychology, called Behaviorism (from the English word behavior). Its founders believed that even if you just artificially smile, after a while you will become more cheerful. It's just that the muscles of the face, having come to the right state, will transmit an impulse to the brain, which the latter identifies as a sign of joy and will not forget to stimulate the release of the corresponding hormones into the blood.

A similar thought might be true for this test: perhaps you choose the character you like best, not because you feel that way, but because that's what you lack and need at the moment. Therefore, the icon chosen as an attractive one can serve as a kind of hint for you as to what you should change in yourself, in your posture, posture, movements, mode of action, and even in your habitual thoughts ...

Diagnostics of the emotional state of schoolchildren

M. Luscher color test

Areas of use. This technique can be used:

1. in the study of the level of comfort of the child at home, at school;
2. when identifying the emotional attitudes of preschoolers in relation to the upcoming schooling;
3. when diagnosing the situation in the family;
4. to identify the relationship of the child to the school during the period of adaptation;
5. to identify individuals prone to depressive states and affective reactions.

This test consists of stimulus material (eight color cards) and a methodological guide that contains a description of the test, testing procedure, numerical indicators and their calculation, processing, interpretation of results and applications (1-8). Interpretation tables allow you to simplify the processing of test results as much as possible.

The duration is 5-8 minutes.

The Luscher color test can be used on an individual basis. Along with an individual examination, a group examination is allowed.

Guidelines. Test procedure: the experimenter shuffles the colored cards and lays them out with their color surface up in front of the subject, after which he asks him to choose the one that he likes best from the eight colors, i.e. to select the most pleasant color from the eight. The experimenter puts the card with the selected color aside, turning the color side down, and writes down its number in the protocol table. The color selection procedure is repeated. If the subject cannot choose the most pleasant color, the experimenter suggests choosing the most unpleasant color and then suggests moving on to choosing pleasant colors.

After 2-3 minutes, the experimenter repeats the study: again lays out the cards with the color side up and invites the subject to choose their preferred colors again, explaining that the subject should not remember the layout order in the first choice or consciously change it ..

To calculate the total deviation from the autogenous norm (SD), it is necessary to compare the order of places that the colors occupy in the child’s choice with the “ideal” arrangement (). First, the difference between the actual occupied space and the normative position of the color is calculated, then these differences (their absolute values, without taking into account the sign) are summed up. The CO value varies from 0 to 32 and can only be even. The CO value reflects a stable emotional background, i.e., the prevailing mood of the child.

The stimulus material for the test consists of standard multi-colored squares cut out of paper with sides from 28 mm to 50 mm. In the diagnosis of children, an incomplete set of 8 colored squares is usually used. Primary colors are (in the order of the number assigned to them):

1. blue
2. green is clearly preferred colors
3. red preferred colors
4. yellow
5. purple neutral colors
6. brown
7. black negative colors

The first two colors are considered clearly preferred, the third and fourth - preferred, the fifth and sixth - neutral, and the seventh and eighth - causing antipathy, a negative attitude.

A simplified examination procedure (for eight colors) is reduced to the simultaneous presentation of all colored squares on a white background to the subject with a proposal to choose one that is most pleasant, pleasant. The selected square is turned over and set aside, then the procedure is repeated. A series of squares is formed in which the colors are arranged according to their attractiveness to the subject.

The psychological interpretation of the obtained series of subjective color preferences is based, firstly, on the assumption that each color has a certain symbolic meaning, for example: red - the desire for power, dominance, green - perseverance, perseverance, etc.

Secondly, it is believed that the range of color preferences reflects the individual characteristics of the subject. At the same time, the position occupied by a particular color has functional significance. For example, it is believed that the first two positions of the series define the goals of the individual and how to achieve them, and the last two - the suppressed needs, symbolized by these colors. The choice in the field of primary colors is associated with conscious tendencies, and among additional colors - with the sphere of the unconscious.

The first choice in the Luscher test characterizes the desired state, the second - the actual one. Depending on the purpose of the study, it is possible to interpret the results of the appropriate testing and choose a rating system by comparing the results of the desired and actual state of the child.

1. Evaluation of the results of the emotional state.

4 points - at the beginning of the row blue, yellow, purple. Black, gray, brown - at the end of the row. Favorable emotional state.

3 points - red and green colors are allowed in the first positions. Offset of gray and brown in the middle of the row. Satisfactory emotional state.

2 points - black shift to the middle of the row. Blue yellow, purple - in the last positions. The emotional state of the child is unsatisfactory - the help of a psychologist, a teacher is required.

1 point - black and gray at the beginning of the row; the child refuses to comply. The child is in a crisis state, the help of specialists (psychologist, psychotherapist) is required.
