Original research Relationship of subjective well-being, cognitive and metacognitive skills in middle-aged women (on the sample of university employee)
Zabelina EV, Kuba EA, Trushina IA
This article examines the role of subjective well-being, cognitive and metacognitive skills as key elements of the professional effectiveness and well-being in the middle-aged women working at the university. The study used standardized methods for assessing cognitive and metacognitive characteristics (the MoCA test, MCQ-30, and the Metacognitive Personality Questionnaire) and a life satisfaction scale. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between metacognitive skills and subjective well-being, confirming the importance of the metacognitive skills for adaptation and well-being. The findings support the hypothesis that metacognitive strategies are the markers of well-being, and emphasize the need to develop metacognitive functions in the adulthood to prevent cognitive deficits.

Original research Assessment of the subjective and cognitive state of future doctors studying at a medical university in the Tver region
Evstifeeva EA, Murashova LA, Makarov AA, Grigorieva DD
Modern professional training of medical personnel for domestic healthcare requires studying and evaluating the subjective and cognitive state of future doctors, the specifics of the medical profession and activities. The multifaceted practical, scientific, research, creative, socionomic, patient-oriented medical profession is aimed at forming, together with professional competencies, the subjective and cognitive qualities of a doctor, ensuring the preservation of mental health, strengthening cognitive potential and preventing the tendency to deviant behavior of a working specialist in the new conditions of medical activity. In 2024-2025, psychodiagnostic studies were conducted at Tver State Medical University among undergraduates using the Multipsychometer hardware and software psychodiagnostic complex. The purpose of the study was to study the subject-cognitive states of future doctors studying at a medical university in the Tver region. Based on the analysis of the research results, the dynamics of the indicators of the students' subjective and cognitive state, such as the meaningfulness of life, reflexivity and a tendency to deviant behavior, were revealed. The results of the study indicate that low indicators of meaningfulness of life, reflexivity and risks of tendency to deviant behavior can be considered as markers of deprivation of cognitive and subjective health of students, which also negatively affects the professional development of a doctor.

Original research The role of metacognitive characteristics of resident physicians in professional adaptation
Gongina VB, Fomina NV
The article presents the results of a study of the influence of metacognitive characteristics on the adaptation of resident physicians through the analysis of their relationship with indicators of personal adaptive potential. A low overall level of adaptive potential among residents was revealed, indicating internal confusion among resident physicians at the beginning of their career.The study demonstrated that metacognitive characteristics play a significant role in the adaptation processes to professional activities among resident physicians. Key factors influencing adaptation were identified, including metacognitive regulation of activity, communication skills, self-regulation abilities, and cognitive regulation of emotions in stressful situations.It was revealed that the nature of the influence of metacognitive characteristics on indicators of personal adaptive potential varies not only in the strength of individual factors but also in their direction. Among these factors, the “ability to metacognitive regulation of activity” emerged as the most critical.The research also identified the factors determining the role of metacognitive characteristics in the adaptation process to the professional activities of resident physicians.
