Abstract: The subject of the study is anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology.
The article discusses the relevance of the study of pregnant women in modern society. The work is aimed at studying early maladaptive patterns in relation to anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology. The materials of an empirical study obtained on a sample of women with pregnancy pathology are presented. Objective: to identify the relationship of the factor model of early maladaptive schemes with anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology. The condition and behavior of the mother are one of the most important conditions for the development of the child in the postnatal period. Therefore, the high quality of psychological support for pregnancy seems to be a necessary condition for improving the mental health of women, increasing reproductive activity and increasing the birth rate, the quality of life of the population as a whole.
The paper identifies the features of the existing early maladaptive schemes in women with pregnancy pathology. A factorial model of early maladaptive schemes in women with pregnancy pathology was obtained and described, in which the following components were identified: "Emotional rejection", "Over-vigilance and expectation of threat", "Focus on others", "Violated boundaries". The correlations of the factor model of early maladaptive schemes with anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology are analyzed.
The data obtained during the study indicate the need for psychological support for women with pregnancy pathology and can be used as a basis in the development of programs for psychological intervention of the perinatal period. The existing early childhood experience of a pregnant woman can act as a factor contributing to the development of anxiety and depression, which, in turn, determine emotional instability, personal disorders, difficulties in the social and role functioning of a woman.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the self – awareness of a preschooler's personality. The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of the structure of self – consciousness of preschoolers born from multiple pregnancies and single-born preschoolers who have and do not have siblings due to the influence of special evaluation factors. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the self-consciousness of preschoolers in connection with the special social situation of development and the presence of siblings. The role of evaluative relationships in the development of self-awareness in preschool age is determined. Differences in the characteristics of self-consciousness of girls and boys of preschool age are revealed. Research methodology: cultural and historical approach (L.S. Vygotsky), concepts of self-consciousness of a preschool child (M.I. Lisina, V.E. Mukhina, R.H. Shakurov), the effect of twins R. Zazzo. The study involved 160 preschoolers, including 88 preschoolers born from multiple pregnancies, 72 single-born preschoolers. The existence of differences in the structure of self-consciousness of preschoolers born from multiple pregnancies and single-born preschoolers associated with the influence of special evaluative relationships within the social situation of development is theoretically substantiated and empirically proven.
The main conclusions of the study are presented in the provisions. Preschoolers born from multiple pregnancies are characterized by a significantly lower level of self-esteem and self-acceptance in comparison with single-born preschoolers, which may be due to a special characteristic of the parent's evaluative relationships due to the social situation of development. For preschoolers born from multiple pregnancies, evaluative relationships of a parent of the same sex are significant for the formation of self-awareness.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the anxiety-depressive symptoms of women in the postpartum period. The aim of the study is to identify the interrelationships of anxiety-depressive symptoms of women in the postpartum period and the type of their attitude to pregnancy.

Empirical basis of the study: the study was conducted on the basis of the Altai Regional Clinical Center for Maternal and Child Health with women in the early postpartum period.The existence of interrelations between the appearance of anxiety-depressive symptoms of women in the postpartum period and the type of attitude to pregnancy is theoretically substantiated and empirically proven. Qualitative characteristics of differences in the type of attitude to pregnancy of women with different types of residence and the use of maternity care are determined. The main conclusions of the study are : Anxious symptoms in the postpartum period are more typical for women from rural areas; Women who have undergone natural childbirth are more likely to experience depression and anxiety in the postpartum period; Rural women are more characterized by a hypogestognosic type of attitude to pregnancy, urban women - a depressive type of attitude to pregnancy; Anxious and depressive types of attitude to pregnancy associated with fears, expressed fears, tearfulness are risk factors for the development of anxiety-depressive symptoms in women in the postpartum period.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the self-identity of twins in preschool age. The goal is to determine correlations between the behavioral indicators of intra-pair interaction and the parameters of functionality of self-identity of twins of preschool age. Detailed analysis is conducted on the role of twin situation and intra-pair interaction of twins in the development of self-identity in preschool age. The twin situation is interpreted as a special social situation of development that defines the formation of personality of twins; it is associated with the occurrence of specific intra-pair interactions that determine the development of self-identity of a preschooler. The research methodology is based on the cultural-historical approach that reveals the role of social situation in child’s development (L. S. Vygotsky), concept of self-identity (S. L. Rubinstein, L. I. Bozhovich), studies on twins (T. B. Morozov, M. T. Miliora). The empirical base is represented by 100 twins of preschool age. This article is first to give theoretical substantiation and empirical proof to the existence of correlation between the behavioral indicators of intra-pair interaction of twins and characteristics of self-identity of dizygotic and monozygotic twins in preschool age. The following conclusions were made: dizygotic and monozygotic twins may have a different nature of intra-pair interaction, which relates to the peculiarities of self-identity preschoolers; dizygotic twins have high possibility of rivalry with their twin; monozygotic twins are rather oriented towards cooperation. The proclivity for cooperation in the process of joint activity creates the foundation for positive self-esteem, self-acceptance, and assessment of own performance. The proclivity for rivalry allows the twins to be more independent, take responsibility for the results of their work, creates foundation for the development of self-identity, self-cognition, and self-understanding.
