Динаміка виникнення ситуативної тривожності у дітей в залежності від їх соматотипу

Experimental research was included by determination of anthropometric indices, which allowed
estimating the general physical development of children. For the description of child’s constitut
ion, the chart of V.
Shtefko and A. Ostrovskia was used. The next was the determination of children anxiety level and dynamics of
situational anxiety for children with different somatotypes. The analysis of morpho
-functional indexes of children in
age from
4 to 6 years allowed estimating their general physical development as harmonious. The middle level of
situational anxiety was marked in 53% of preschool age children; girls, in comparison to the boys, had a higher percent
level of situational anxiety. The
analysis of individual features of situational anxiety manifestation for children of 4
-6
years with different somatotype showed that a high level of anxiety was the characteristic for asthenics (12,5%),
whereas for the children of digestive somatotype it
was marked less (2,5%). The middle level of anxiety prevailed for
the children of thoracic somatotype, whereas among the children of digestive and asthenic somatotype it was marked
less. A low level of anxiety was the characteristic for the children of mus
cular and digestive somatotypes (9,2% and
8,3%), for children from thoracic and asthenic somatotypes –
1,7% and 2,5% respectively, for children with indefinite
somatotype it was not marked.
