Abstract: | In a group of 68 adults of both sexes, we examined correlations between estimates of the psychological adaptability of an
individual (diagnosed using a multilevel personality questionnaire, MPQ) and spectral powers, SPs, of the frequency components
(rhythms) of background EEG recorded in the resting state (leads C3 and C4 according to the 10–20 system). Despite high individual
variability within the group, indices by the scale “communicative potential” demonstrated significant correlation with the
SP of the θ rhythm, while estimates of the moral normativity correlated with the SPs of the α and β1 rhythms. Subgroups of
the persons classified according to the level of the integral adaptation capability (personality’s adaptation potential) differed
from each other in the mean estimates of interhemisphere asymmetry of the α rhythm; this index was higher in subjects with
the medium/high level of adaptability. The correlations observed are, most probably, determined by the fact that both the
level of psychological adaptability of the personality and the EEG amplitude parameters depend significantly on genetic (neurochemical,
in particular) factors. Such peculiarities of the neurodynamic constitution of the individual are probably determined, to
a considerable extent, by the specificities of organization and functioning of a few neurotransmitter (aminergic, in particular)
and neurohumoral systems. |
