Abstract:
It is known that both genetic factors and environmental influences affect the development
of the human body. This statement also applies to a person's personality, in the big five
- the main features that make it up. The study of the relationship between physique and
personality traits among a healthy population is very relevant and is a promising area
for anthropology and psychology. The purpose of the work is to conduct a prognostic
assessment of the influence of anthropo-somatotypological indicators on the personality
indicators in practically healthy Ukrainian women without and taking into account the
somatotype. Primary anthropo-somatotypological (anthropometry according to Bunak's
scheme, Heath-Carter somatotype determination, Matiegka and American Institute of
Nutrition weight composition) and personality indicators (determination of leading
typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck, psychodynamic
features of personality according to Spielberger and features of accentuated personality
traits according to Shmishek, components of internality according to Rotter) of
practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age are selected from the data
bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University,
Vinnytsya. Factor analysis was performed in the license package "Statistica 6.1". The
main factors that indicate the association of personality traits of practically healthy
Ukrainian women of different somatotypes with some anthropo-somatotypological
indicators: mesomorphs - "the size of the girth and fat size of the body" and "the size of
the longitudinal size of the body"; in ectomorphs - "the size of the girth of the body" and
"the size of the fat size of the body"; in endo-mesomorphs - "the magnitude of the
circumferential size of the body" and "the magnitude of the width of the mandible"; in
representatives of the middle intermediate somatotype - "the magnitude of the longitudinal
and circumferential dimensions of the body" and "the magnitude of SFT on the posterior
surface of the shoulder." In the general group of women, it is impossible to single out
the second factor that has a significant load. Analysis of the obtained relationships of
interdependence of personality traits, which have the greatest prognostic value in
terms of formation of human personality with anthropo-somatotypological indicators
showed that women of different somatotypes identified interdependencies have certain
features. Thus, the application of factor analysis made it possible to determine the
most significant relationships of personality indicators with the constitutional parameters
of the body in practically healthy Ukrainian women of different somatotypes.
Keywords: indicators of personality traits, indicators of body structure and sizes,
somatotype, practically healthy women, factor analysis.
