A set of colored stimulus-response reactions of the Lusher`s test, which were
presented by eight cards, was used as the research device.
The tasks of the color-association research were formulated as follows:
1)
to analyze the possibilities of psychological diagnostics of the operator`s
functional condition in the activity and his correlation with professional success by
means of the Lusher test (the basis for the analysis is the premise of the psychological
theory of activity about the reflection of the individual states in emotions);
2)
to consider the possibilities of the color-association method usage for the
diagnostics of the operators` attitudes to their activities and the manufacturing and
technological environment (the basis is the premise of the psychological theory of
activity about the reflection of the person`s states and his attitude to the world and own
activities in emotions);
3)
to consider the possibilities of the color-association method usage for the
diagnostics of the interpersonal relations of the operators and to analyze their influence
on the teamwork efficiency (the basis for the analysis is the premise of the
psychological theory of activity about the reflection of the attitude of one person to
another in emotions).
The solving of the first task is connected with a traditional usage of the Lusher
test. A frequent repetition of the each operator testing during a shift allowed revealing
the changes dynamics of the emotional states.
Compliance between all the mental properties and indicators was traced in the
quantitative interpretation of the Lusher test. At the same time heteronomy and
autonomy indicators of the Lusher test correspond to the mood swing indicators and
the emotional stability ones as well as the indicators of eccentricity and concentricity
correspond to the excentrality and internality. Shiposh vegetative coefficient and a
method of measuring the size of the color elections deviation from the “Autogenic
norm” (AT-norms) were used. The size of the total deviation from the AT-norm is
connected with the rigidity of requirements which is moved forward to a work
performer by the specificity of the profession [6].
The second task that has been solved due to the Lusher test in connected closely
with the functional state diagnostics. But in addition to the above an emphasis on the
reflection of the subject`s attitude toward reality in emotions, which characterize the
human condition is dominate. Thus, we proceeded from the assumption, according to
which the human condition that is formed and shown in his activity is associated with
an indicator of adaptation in the production process and also is the function of the
specialist`s attitude to his occupational activity.
During the study process of the operators` attitude character to their activities, the
operators were offered to grade an eight color card in reference to the concept “what is
emotionally considerable for a specialist operator”. The question was as follows:
