Abstract

The aim of the work was to identify the links between indicators of functional and psychophysiological status with psychological characteristics that determine the risk of developing chemical addictions in men and women. The study was carried out with the participation of 309 people, 137 men and 172 women aged 18-30, students of state universities in Volgograd, Samara and Arkhangelsk. The level of consumption of legal psychoactive substances was assessed based on the results of a retrospective self-assessment by respondents of the frequency of alcohol intake and tobacco smoking experience. The psychological status of the study participants was determined by evaluating the indicators of the Freiburg multifactorial personality questionnaire, adventurousness and social destructiveness. The psychophysiological status of the subjects was assessed according to standard electroencephalography indicators. The functional status was characterized by analyzing the level of general nonspecific reactivity of the organism. As a result of the performed research, the systematic manifestation of functional, psychophysiological and psychological prerequisites for the individual formation of a person's propensity to consume legal psychoactive substances is substantiated. The combination of a high level of general nonspecific reactivity of the organism with low values of the alpha rhythm amplitude and pronounced adventurousness, both in men and women in the follicular or luteal phases of the ovarian-menstrual cycle, is a prognostic criterion for the risk of alcohol and tobacco addiction. Comprehensive accounting of phenotypic indicators of a person's predisposition to the demand for psychoactive substances is able to optimize the system of health-saving support for students.
