Attention provides cognitive processes and is a necessary moment of knowledge acquisition, high quality and productivity of mental work.
The aim of the study – to learn the state of attention among schoolchildren of 15–17 years, depending on sex, level of neurotism and extra-introverts under different types of weather.
Materials and Methods. 90 practically healthy students were examined. The proof-reading test that was used in our research is a common method of studying attention. The surveys were conducted on days with I, II and III types of weather. This article analyzes the indicators of attention such as the number of correctly drawn letters (m), the productivity of work (B), and the accuracy of attention (K). The integral index of attention stability (A) among the students of the senior school age for different types of weather was established to determine the level of neuroticism and extra-introversion. We used the teen version of the questionnaire Eisenck. The calculations of the results were carried out according to Student's t-criterion and methods of non-parametric statistics.
Results and Discussion. The number of highlighted letters in senior pupils decreases with deteriorating of weather conditions. The obtained data indicate a significant decline in the productivity of attention in students of 9–11 classes with deterioration of weather conditions. Accuracy and stability of attention were the best under the favorable weather, decreased under conditionally unfavorable and were the minimum value in unfavorable weather. Analyzing the results, it was found out that the group of people with high neuroticism is the most sensitive to weather conditions, and students with low neuroticism are more stable. According to the conducted research, introverts-senior pupils tended to increase the state of attention in comparison with extroverts.
Conclusions. It is established that the state of attention is the best with the type of weather for all children of the senior school age. Unfavorable weather had a negative effect on the state of attention of the pupils of the surveyed contingent. The indicators of attention decreased with deterioration of weather conditions compared with students with low neurotism in people with a high level of neurotism. We have found out that the indicators of attention decreased, in the pupils of the senior school age, regardless of extra-introversion.
