The relationship between the profile lateral brain organization of high-school students and the strategy of emotion regulation

Abstract

The ability to regulate the emotional state, activity, behavior is one of the significant tasks of personal development on the path of life. Hormonal restructuring of the body, changes in the social situation of development in adolescence contribute to the emergence of sudden abrupt mood swings, increased emotional tension, high sensitivity, and impulsive behavior. In older adolescence, difficulties in coping with emotions persist, so strategies for regulating emotions may appear and evolve, which reduce the level of adaptation in general and cause deviant behavior. This problem is considered in the article through the study of coping attitudes and individual functional interhemispheric asymmetry of the brain. The results of the study showed that the individual profile of the brain organization can be interconnected with the choice of specific types of strategies for regulating emotions to reduce anxiety and frustration. There is a possibility of conditionality of preference for certain strategies, including destructive ones, depending on the individual profile of the lateral organization. Respondents with a higher stress tolerance of the lateral profile are less characterized by destructive activity strategies for regulating emotions. The “equal hemisphere” type of individual profile of the lateral organization of the brain has a high level of stress resistance, adaptability and academic performance.
