The psychological climate is the emotional coloring of the psychological ties of the members of the team, arising on the basis of their sympathy, the coincidence of characters, interests, inclinations. The climate of relations between people in the organization consists of three components. The first component is the social climate, which is determined by the awareness of the overall goals and objectives of the organization. The second component is the moral climate, which is determined by the accepted moral values of the organization. The third component is the psychological climate, i.e. those informal relationships that develop between workers.

In general, this phenomenon is usually called the socio-psychological climate of the organization's team.

The relationship between the effectiveness of the organization and its socio-psychological climate is the most important problem for the leaders of the company, firm. Therefore, it is so important to know the most important components of the SEC of the organization. A favorable SEC is the result of the systematic work and activities of leaders, managers, psychologists and all employees of the organization.

The most important features of a favorable socio-psychological climate are:

trust and high demands of group members to each other;
benevolent and businesslike criticism;
free expression of one's own opinion when discussing issues relating to the entire team;
lack of pressure from managers on subordinates and recognition of their right to make decisions that are significant for the group;
sufficient awareness of the team members about its tasks and the state of affairs in their implementation;
satisfaction with belonging to the team;
a high degree of emotional involvement and mutual assistance in situations that cause a state of frustration in any of the members of the team;
taking responsibility for the state of affairs in the group by each of its members
tolerance for other people's opinions, etc.

An unfavorable socio-psychological climate is characterized by: the deepest pessimism, irritability, boredom, the highest extreme tension and conflict in relations in a group, uncertainty, an excruciating fear of making a serious mistake or making a bad impression, the horror of punishment, categorical rejection, misunderstanding, deep hostility, incredible suspicion, great distrust to each other, extreme unwillingness to invest excessive efforts in a corporate product, in the rapid development of the team and the organization as a whole, dissatisfaction, etc.

The overall picture of interaction between people in work collectives is complemented by personal relationships. Relationships is a system of relationships between people in different groups. Relationships can be formal and informal, business and personal. Interpersonal relationships of people are connected with social relations and are determined by them. The peculiarities of a person’s behavior in a team, the results of his work cause certain reactions from other members of the group, form each of them’s attitude towards this person, and thus a system of relationships develops in the group. Satisfaction with relationships horizontally (with comrades) and vertically (with managers) is seen as an important indicator of SEC in the workforce. Horizontal relationship satisfaction indicators are closely related to the frequency of discussions in the team of issues directly related to work, as well as the frequency of contacts between team members in their free time. In the most official setting, personal relationships develop between people in one way or another, and they cannot but influence the general atmosphere in the team, the general character, style, and tone of relationships in the group.

In a complex system of relationships of interactions in the primary labor collective, people occupy certain positions based on their unofficial personal authority in this group of people. Thus, the primary labor collective is a system of interconnected official positions, occupying which employees have certain rights and obligations, and a system of informal positions based on the real authority of the team members and the degree of influence on the group.

Communication in the work team is a complex process that proceeds from establishing contacts to developing interaction and building relationships. The main function of communication is the organization of joint activities of people, which involves the development of a single strategy for interaction, which is possible only on the basis of coordinating their positions. Another function of communication is the knowledge of each other by people, as well as the formation and development of interpersonal relationships.

The influence of the emotional atmosphere of the team on a person can be twofold: stimulating or inhibitory, that is, suppressing the creative initiative, activity and energy of a person. There are several definitions of the concept of SPC. So, E.S. Kuzmin believes that the concept of psychological climate reflects the nature of relationships between people, the prevailing tone of public mood, the level of management, the conditions and characteristics of work and leisure in one team.

The concept of psychological climate includes a system of interpersonal relations, psychological in nature (sympathy, antipathy, friendship), psychological mechanisms of interaction between people (imitation, empathy, assistance); a system of mutual requirements, a general mood, a common style of joint work, intellectual, emotional and volitional unity of the team.

In the concept of SEC, three "climatic zones" are distinguished:

the social climate, which is determined by how high the awareness of employees of common goals and objectives is at a given enterprise, how much the observance of all constitutional rights of workers as citizens is guaranteed here.
moral climate, which is determined by the moral values generally accepted in this team.
psychological climate, that is, the informal sphere that develops between workers who are in direct contact with each other. That is, the psychological climate is a microclimate, the zone of action of which is much more local than the moral and social one.

An essential indicator of the characteristics of relationships in the team are the forms of address as a means of verbal communication. The predominance of any one form of appeal orders or requests, suggestions or questions, discussions, advice characterizes the features of relationships leads to a gradual isolation of individual members of the team, a reduction in the number of contacts in it, to the predominance of indirect methods of communication to the reduction of communication links to formally necessary , to violations of the feedback between the participants of the activity. Thus, communication links in the team act as empirical indicators of the socio-psychological climate.

The essence of each person is revealed only in relations with other people and is realized in the forms of collective interaction, in the processes of communication, through relationships a person realizes his social value. Thus, self-esteem acts as a group effect, as one of the forms of manifestation of the socio-psychological climate. Evaluation of one's position in the system of social relations and personal ties gives rise to a feeling of greater or lesser satisfaction with oneself and others.

The experience of relationships is reflected in the mood, causes an improvement or deterioration in the psychological well-being of a person. Through imitation, infection, suggestion, and persuasion, various moods in the collective spread to all people and, being reflected in their consciousness for the second time, create the psychological background of collective life. Psychological well-being and mood, characterizing the mental state of people, testifies to the quality of the SEC in the team. Self-esteem, well-being and mood are socio-psychological phenomena, a holistic reaction to the impact of the microenvironment and the whole complex of conditions for human activity in a team. They act as subjective forms of manifestation of SPC.

Any person, by virtue of his presence in social groups, and even more so by participating in joint work, has an impact on many areas of the life of the team, including the socio-psychological climate. People have a positive or negative impact on the well-being of others, depending on their socio-psychological and individual psychological properties. The socio-psychological properties of a person that have a positive impact on the formation of a socio-psychological climate include adherence to principles, responsibility, discipline, activity in interpersonal and intergroup relations, sociability, a cult of behavior, and tact. People who are inconsistent, selfish, tactless, etc. have a negative impact on the climate. The well-being of people and through it the general climate of the team is also influenced by the characteristics of mental processes (intellectual, emotional, volitional), as well as the temperament and character of the members of the team. In addition, an important role is played by the preparation of a person for work, that is, his knowledge, skills and abilities. The high professional competence of a person is respected, it can serve as an example for others and thus contribute to the growth of the skills of people working with him.

In its meaning, the SPC is close to the concept of team cohesion, which refers to the degree of emotional acceptability, satisfaction with the relationship between group members. The cohesion of the team is formed on the basis of the closeness of the ideas of workers on the essential issues of the life of their team.

The most important problem in the study of SEC is to identify the factors that form it.

The following factors influence the formation of a certain socio-psychological climate:

1. Compatibility of its members, understood as the most favorable combination of the properties of employees, ensuring the effectiveness of joint activities and personal satisfaction of each. Compatibility is manifested in mutual understanding, mutual acceptability, sympathy, empathy of team members to each other.

There are two types of compatibility: psychophysiological and psychological.

Psychological compatibility implies an optimal combination of personal mental properties: character traits, temperament, abilities, which leads to mutual understanding.

Incompatibility is manifested in the desire of members of the team to avoid each other, and in the event of the inevitability of contacts, to negative emotional states and even to conflicts.

2. Style of behavior of the head, manager, owner of the enterprise.

3. Success or failure of the production process.

4. The applied scale of rewards and punishments.

5. Working conditions.

6. The situation in the family, outside of work, conditions for spending free time.

The most important factors that determine the level of the psychological climate of the production team are the personality of the leader and the system of selection and placement of administrative personnel. It is also influenced by the personal qualities of the leader, the style and methods of leadership, the authority of the leader, as well as the individual characteristics of the team members.

The leader influences almost all factors that determine the socio-psychological climate. The selection of personnel, the promotion and punishment of members of the team, their promotion in the service, and the organization of the work of workers depend on it. Much depends on his leadership style.

SPK is the result of the joint activity of people, their interpersonal interaction. It manifests itself in such group effects as the mood and opinion of the team, individual well-being and assessment of the living conditions and work of the individual in the team. These effects are expressed in the relationships associated with the labor process and the solution of the common tasks of the team. Members of the collective as individuals determine its social microstructure, the originality of which is determined by social and demographic characteristics (age, gender, profession, education, nationality, social origin). The psychological characteristics of the individual contribute to or hinder the formation of a sense of community, that is, they influence the formation of the socio-psychological climate in the work collective.

Work, grow and realize oneself - these are the needs of almost any modern person. It is very important to find a profession to your liking, to achieve perfection in this matter and be proud of the results of your work. However, scientists have found that the performance of an employee is significantly influenced by relationships in the work team in which he is located. A person can be compared to a plant that blooms in some climatic conditions and dries up in others. The socio-psychological climate plays an important role in any team. When an employee in a certain group of people is uncomfortable, and he seeks to leave it, you should not count on the brilliant results of his work. If the team has a favorable climate and good relationships, then the process of development of employees is accelerated, which allows them to realize themselves to the fullest.

The general socio-psychological climate in the team depends on the following indicators:

socio-psychological definition of the group;
features of relationships in the team;
the prevailing psychological mood in the team.

In a team with a favorable socio-psychological climate, optimism prevails among employees. Such a group is characterized by trust, a sense of security, openness, the possibility of career growth and spiritual development, mutual assistance and warm interpersonal relationships in the team. In such an atmosphere, as a rule, employees feel their importance and strive for improvement.

In a team with an unfavorable psychological climate, employees are pessimistic. Self-doubt, suspicion, closeness, stiffness, fear of making a mistake and distrust are the main characteristics of the members of this group. In such a team, conflicts and disputes quite often occur.

The head of the group plays the main role in shaping the psychological climate in the team. Any leader is interested in the high performance of his subordinates. If the team has an unfavorable social or moral climate, high staff turnover, absenteeism, complaints and missed deadlines, then the issue of relationships should be brought to the fore. A good leader should pay attention to the following factors:

There is always an opportunity to change the moral and psychological climate in the team. Organization of corporate parties, celebrations, congratulations to employees, encouragement - these are the events that will help unite employees. Working to improve the climate in the team, each manager provides himself with satisfied employees who work together and for results.

Socio-psychological climate - it is the relatively stable psychological attitude of its members that prevails in a group or team, manifesting itself in relation to each other, to work, to surrounding events and to the organization as a whole on the basis of individual, personal values and orientation.

A number of factors influence the formation of a certain SPC:

Real work situation : successful or unsuccessful course of the production process, the content, organization and working conditions, the system of material and moral incentives, the nature of interpersonal relations in the team, etc. If the company's activities are profitable, employees see the prospects for the development of the enterprise, are satisfied with the incentive system, they work more productive.

Group norms of behavior , which specify social norms (manifestation of relations of cooperation and mutual assistance in work in conditions when the actions of one employee determine certain actions of other people; observance of traditions, rituals adopted in the work collective, etc.). The traditions that improve the climate in the team, adopted in Russian enterprises, include the introduction of a newly hired employee into the team, the organization of joint holidays for staff and their families.

Style and methods of team management. As you know, they are based on two criteria: the nature of the centralization of power and the way in which they influence subordinates. Thus, an authoritarian leader often artificially creates conflict situations, surviving objectionable workers. The work of a liberal leader is practically left to chance.

Individual psychological characteristics of work kov (gender, age, marital status, needs and interests, value orientations). Taking into account the personal characteristics of employees for a favorable SEC is very important.

Thus, a more stable climate develops in a team in which both women and men are represented. To balance the emotionality of women, it is necessary to have men in the women's team. Men, as a rule, are more rational, at the same time, they tend to make more risky decisions; women in this case are needed to make informed decisions, since the female brain is arranged in such a way that it reads disturbing information eight times faster. In addition, the presence of representatives of different sexes in the team forces both of them to keep themselves within the framework of official etiquette, to be always in shape.

Also, the team should be represented by workers of different ages. Older people - to transfer experience to young people, and young people are needed to bring "fresh blood" into the activities of the organization.

5. Compatibility of its members , understood as the most favorable combination of the properties of employees, ensuring the effectiveness of joint activities and personal satisfaction of each.

Compatibility of team members is manifested in mutual understanding, mutual acceptability, sympathy, empathy for each other.

There are two types of compatibility: psychophysiological and psychological.

Psychophysiological is associated with the synchronism of the individual mental activity of workers (different endurance of group members, speed of thinking, features of perception, attention), which should be taken into account when distributing physical loads and assigning certain types of work. So, for example, there cannot be the same speed of work for a fast choleric and a slow phlegmatic. A melancholic who scrupulously performs the assigned work will annoy the slowness of the choleric with his slowness. They are not recommended to be paired to get the job done.

Psychological compatibility implies an optimal combination of personal mental properties: character traits, temperament, abilities, which leads to mutual understanding. Good knowledge and understanding of these points by the manager contributes to the successful management of subordinates, the prediction of their behavior and the targeted impact on it. If we recruit only sanguine people into the team who prefer to do active, constantly changing work, who give up doing work halfway if it ceases to interest them, then there will not be a person in the team who will perform accurate, monotonous, sometimes monotonous work (for example, documentation), without which no business can do. In addition, choleric and sanguine people strive for leadership, therefore, in a team consisting of representatives of only these types of temperament, it is unlikely that a favorable climate will be formed.

Incompatibility is manifested in the desire of team members to avoid each other, and in the event of the inevitability of contacts - to negative emotional states and even to conflicts.

6. Applied scale of rewards and punishments.

7.Working conditions.

8.The situation in the family, outside of work, conditions for conducting free time.

Depending on the nature of the socio-psychological climate, its impact on a person will be different - stimulate work, cheer up, inspire vigor and confidence, or, conversely, act depressingly, reduce energy, lead to production and moral losses.

In addition, the SEC is able to accelerate or slow down the development of the key qualities of an employee necessary in business: readiness for constant innovation, the ability to act in extreme situations, make innovative decisions, initiative and entrepreneurship, readiness for continuous professional development, a combination of professional and humanitarian culture.

As you know, SEC can be favorable or unfavorable.

We highlight the main features of a favorable SEC:

trust and high demands on each other;

benevolent and businesslike criticism;

sufficient awareness of the team members about its tasks and the state of affairs in their implementation. Stably incoming reliable information creates a sense of self-confidence in the employee, in his position - even with unfavorable prospects, when it is clear where and why troubles are coming and how to meet them. The absence of artificial restrictions on information is perceived by a person as trust and respect, helps him gain spiritual comfort and reduces his readiness for any kind of conflict;

free expression of one's own opinion when discussing issues relating to the entire team;

lack of pressure from managers on subordinates and recognition of their right to make decisions that are significant for the group;

satisfaction with belonging to the firm;

tolerance for other people's opinions;

a high degree of emotional involvement and mutual assistance;

taking responsibility for the state of affairs in the group by each of its members;

employees feel safe: they are given to understand that only the best is expected of them, and in case of a mistake they are given a chance to correct themselves;

employees project a positive attitude towards each other on relationships with customers, suppliers and colleagues.

It is impossible to count on the fact that the necessary relations in the team will arise by themselves, they must be consciously formed.

Measures to form a favorable SEC:

Staff recruitment taking into account the psychological compatibility of employees. Depending on the goals of working in a team, it is necessary to combine different types of behavior of people. In many situations, a group with representatives of one type of behavior will turn out to be of little work, for example, if only people who are waiting for instructions and who do not know how to take the initiative, or only those who like to command, will gather.

The selection and placement of personnel for jobs is one of the main tasks of a manager as a leader. Already with the emergence of a primary team, not only the structure of jobs and the need to provide it with personnel of appropriate professions and qualifications are of paramount importance, but also the question of how workers can work together and effectively interact with each other. It is expedient to place workers taking into account their personal characteristics, including likes and dislikes. When people who sympathize with each other find themselves in neighboring, especially technologically interdependent places, this alone improves their mood, increases job satisfaction and work efficiency. And, ultimately, this will contribute to team building;

it is necessary to optimally limit the number of persons subordinate to one leader (5-7 people);

setting clear and understandable goals of activity. The presence of a common goal and joint activities to achieve it create a special sense of belonging to a common cause, gives rise to mutual respect and attention to each other's personal interests and problems;

a clear definition of the scope of duties, rights and responsibilities for each employee;

lack of extra workers and vacancies. Both the lack and the excess of members of the group lead to its instability: there is a ground for the emergence of tension and conflicts in connection with the desire of several persons to take a vacant position and get a promotion at work or in connection with the uneven work load of individual workers in the presence of extra persons;

training and periodic certification of executives. Advanced training of managers at various levels expands their horizons, allows you to take a fresh look at the problems, at their subordinates. Attention from the side of the manager, in turn, raises the level of self-esteem of subordinates, their self-confidence, awareness of the significance of their work for the success of the company as a whole;

in his activities to optimize the SEC, the manager should rely on the most active, conscious, authoritative members of the team;

the formation of common norms of behavior, "cementing" the team. So, for example, if intrigues and conflicts are not encouraged in the team, people who provoke them are condemned, this leads to the rejection of such behavior. The role of the leader, who sets a personal example of ethical behavior, is also important here;

the use of socio-psychological methods that contribute to the development of effective mutual understanding and interaction skills among team members (employees' passion for personal example, training on team building, working out the interaction of team members, business games, persuasion method, etc.).

Just regular speeches of the head of the company in front of the whole team allow you to feel like a single team doing one thing. At the same time, it is desirable that the leader be a charismatic person. The manager should talk about immediate plans, achievements, what strategically the company should achieve, what problems exist in the company and how to solve them together, what this or that department means for the company. This greatly rallying the team.

However, too good relations in the team is not always good. In this case, there are vulnerabilities:

Sometimes employees are too focused on relationships within the team and not enough on work;

They begin to avoid even the necessary confrontation, which makes it difficult to resolve important issues;

Because of "kindness" people refuse to solve difficult personnel issues: it is not easy to fire a "friend" or reprimand him. But the conflict does not disappear anywhere, it just goes "underground";

Sometimes concern for relationships within the team leads to the introduction of an egalitarian system of remuneration for work, and this weakens the most ambitious and purposeful people;

When employees are seriously friends, this leads to the destruction of the hierarchy. For example, the marketing director decides on a course, but cannot implement it, because someone, using friendship, bypassed him and weakened the president's commitment to this course;

In such organizations, people sometimes avoid keeping clear statistics on their achievements.

In order for a company not to lose its ability to do business and turn into a charitable organization, it is necessary, while caring for people, to remain committed to specific business achievements that can be objectively measured.

Thus, the formation of a favorable socio-psychological climate is a long-term, often permanent process in the workforce.

Instruction

Pay special attention to the selection of personnel. Preventing conflict is easier than trying to resolve it later. Of course, professional qualities are important, but character traits must also be taken into account. Even if at the interview the applicant gives the impression of an arrogant, arrogant, aggressive person, then he should be refused a job. Also, do not hire someone who openly declares that at the last place of work he constantly came into conflict with the team.

Try to provide employees with comfortable working conditions. If a person is irritated because of constant troubles at work, inconvenient vacation time, low salary, etc., he is unlikely to be inclined to communicate friendly with the rest of the team. Pay special attention to the arrangement of the workplace. The table and chair should be comfortable so that by the end of the working day, employees do not suffer from back pain. Allow staff to bring things from home that are close to their hearts and arrange their own workspaces. So the office will become the second for employees, and the team will be perceived as a family.

Set up an office kitchen and lounge where employees can socialize in an informal setting. Let the interior of these rooms be cozy and even homely, so that employees can relax and talk not like colleagues, but like friends. Chatting over coffee during your lunch break strengthens relationships and helps people bond.

Be sure to hold common events: celebrate the New Year with the team, employee birthdays and other holidays, from time to time go on hikes or picnics together. Such events should not be turned into boring meetings that it is forbidden not to attend. Let the holidays be fun, and employees visit them with pleasure and of their own free will, and not by order. Design a booth and hang on it the names of employees who will have a birthday in a few days. Colleagues will be able to see this information, prepare gifts and congratulations, which will also help improve the psychological climate V collective.

Work is not only a place where you can get money, but also a certain team. At the same time, the employee is obliged to become part of this team every day. Scientists have long found out that a friendly atmosphere improves both the mood of workers and their productivity.

Instruction

Give employees more control over themselves and their environment. A person feels happier and more confident when you understand that something depends on him. For example, many companies have a clear list of things that can be present in the workplace and that will have to be abandoned. Such an approach to business deprives the employee of the opportunity to form his own workspace. This can significantly lower his mood, make him more irritable, and, consequently, lead to conflicts within the team.

Encourage employees to communicate with each other. Some employers believe that communication during working hours negatively affects the performance of employees. However, the lack of communication oppresses employees, they are interested in their activities and ultimately leads to disunity of the team. If you want to improve the psychological climate in the office, then in every possible way encourage communication between employees. Arrange desktops so that people can see each other. Set up a place to share meals. Create a friendly atmosphere.

Pay attention to whether they are well lit. The effect of bright lighting on improving human efficiency was proven by American psychologists back in the 50s. The benefit from the saved electricity will not cover the losses from the decrease in the efficiency of employees.

Visually estimate how many square meters are in the workplace of each employee. Psychologists distinguish four zones of a person's personal space: intimate, personal, social and public zones. For successful work, a person needs his colleagues to be in the social zone of his personal space, i.e. at a distance of approximately 1.5 m from it. If this condition is not met, and others constantly invade the personal zone, the person is irritated, not collected, distracted and constantly distracted.

It would also be nice to measure the temperature in the room. Low temperatures reduce the activity and performance of people.

Most troubled teams have one or more people creating an unhealthy work environment. These are gossips, intriguers, brawlers and simply mentally unstable employees. The task is to identify them, and your task is to take appropriate disciplinary action.

Tip 5: Lighting in the kitchen: how to do it yourself

Today it is very fashionable and convenient to make kitchen lighting not only on the ceiling. Now, using LED lighting, which not only looks beautiful, but also saves money, you can highlight any area of the room. Using LEDs, you can not only illuminate, but also visually expand the space of the kitchen, which is especially necessary in small apartments. It should be noted that thanks to the decorative function, hidden lighting does not lose popularity.

LED strip lighting

LEDs have become especially popular in recent years due to their soft light, which helps to create a pleasant atmosphere full of comfort. Installation of LED strip is a simple and not very time-consuming process. Therefore, LED strips are increasingly used for decorating various premises.

So, the backlight from the LED strip is a flexible board on which the LED elements are placed. Led tape is convenient to illuminate not only furniture, but also the work wall. Another advantage of LEDs is the different colors that allow you to create the right atmosphere for any style.

So for a kitchen made of wood, warm-colored LEDs are well suited: yellow or orange, but if you have a high-tech kitchen, then in this case it would be right to use silver or blue LEDs. A dining area illuminated with a multi-color LED strip will look more cozy and easy to relax. Of all the variety of LEDs, it is best to choose a tape with silicone insulation, which will save the wiring if your neighbors flood you.

Another competitive advantage of LEDs is that they can be installed in the most inaccessible places and where it is simply impossible to install other light sources. The countertop with Led- looks especially creative and fashionable in the kitchen. LEDs can also illuminate the whole to refresh and enliven a familiar interior.

When buying an LED strip, do not forget about the power supply. And for a multi-color ribbon, you will also need to purchase a controller. Before starting installation, experts recommend drawing up a lighting plan and carefully reading the instructions that come with any LED kit. For the convenience of attaching the tape, one of its sides is equipped with an adhesive base. But before you remove the protective film and stick the LED strip in the right place, do not forget to treat the surface of the furniture with an alcohol solution. If for some reason the tape does not fall off, it can be glued to the surface with glue.

It is also necessary to prepare the tape itself by connecting it with a wire to a toggle switch and a power supply, following the instructions from the instructions. At the same time, make sure that the wires are connected correctly and safely. Remember that you can only bend the LED strip at an angle equal to two centimeters in diameter. Thanks to the adhesive base of the LED strip, furniture, whether it be a cabinet, shelves or niches, can be illuminated and. It will look very nice if you highlight the glass surface for dishes.

Please note: the length of the LED strip should not be too long. Otherwise, due to the fact that at the beginning of the circuit there is a stronger voltage, the lamps closest to the power source will quickly burn out.

Kitchen lighting with hidden lighting

If for your family the kitchen is a favorite place for "evening gatherings", then you should take care of high-quality lighting. To choose the best lighting option, you need to determine exactly in which area the light should be bright, and where a more subdued lighting option is possible.

The choice of lamp lighting for the kitchen is quite wide: pendant and surface, single-lamp and multi-lamp, diffused light lamp and energy-saving light sources. As an addition, you can make decorative lighting for the entire ceiling or individual zones. Thanks to specially designed lamps, today it is possible to make even corner light. Such a simple and harmonious design, however, looks quite original and is suitable for most interiors.

When installing kitchen lighting, it is very convenient to use plasterboard ceiling structures that help hide all the wires and give the appearance of the room a “zest”. Ceiling lighting should be installed carefully, following some rules. When pulling wires, be sure to use special non-flammable and sealed sleeves. Don't forget to use soldered boxes for wire connections. Choose the right wire based on the total load of all light sources.

In order to have a more aesthetic appearance, experts recommend hiding the visible parts of light sources and placing them from inside special drywall niches. When installing a drywall box, make sure that each corner does not have joints. Pay attention to the fact that the lamps inside the box should not be attached too far apart, otherwise they will give a weak light source and thereby spoil the appearance of the entire room, making it dull. If you are not an electrician, then you should not carry out self-installation of hidden lighting. Unlike the installation of LED strips, hidden lighting requires some professional knowledge and skills.

Note that properly positioned recessed lights should illuminate at least half of the reflective surface.

Thanks to the right lighting, you can solve many design problems: hide a ceiling that is too high, visually expand a small kitchen, or give a missing zest to a too “boring” room. Modern technologies allow you to choose and independently install both spot and uniform lighting for every taste and for any room.

Tip 6: How Circumstances Can Reveal a Person's Character

Strong emotions bring to the fore the most hidden character traits. In an extreme situation, a quiet person can behave like a hero, and a favorite of the public can hide in a corner from fear.

Instruction

The human psyche is practically not studied. Scientists can talk about basic reflexes, but that's all. The psychological component is still practically not available for study. For example, psychotherapists still find it difficult to say exactly why a person's character changes so much in extreme situations.

Only a change of circumstances will really help to know a person. It is under stress that true character emerges. Therefore, one can never say that a person is a coward, or, conversely, a daredevil, before seeing his behavior in an extreme situation.

It is also impossible to fully know your character. You can be convinced that you will never enter the water until you rush to save a drowning child. Or you will be sure that you are able to get along with anyone, until a loudly snoring friend who scatters his socks anywhere does not sit in your room. Then you will realize that your usual behavior is rather superficial, but in fact you are a completely different person in your soul.

Usually people who find themselves in difficult circumstances never become the same. They understand that the way they behaved before, and what they considered their character, is superficial. They acted on the basis of the ideas of others about themselves, and tried to meet the requirements of relatives and friends. And only an extreme situation could pull out a real character, a person found out what he was really capable of. And he no longer wants to act on orders. He corrects further behavior based only on his own ideas about how to behave and how not to behave.

Helpful advice

It is not necessary to wait for a critical situation in order to understand your true nature. The change of circumstances works great. Go on a trip alone, sign up for a squad of search engines, etc. Where responsibility and dedication are required, the real qualities of the psyche appear sooner.

“Happiness is not in money”, “To live not with wealth, but with a person”. These proverbs characterize family life well. Of course, material well-being is very important, but still, the moral factor should come first, because even a wealthy family cannot be considered happy if there is no love, understanding, and warmth in it. How to improve the moral climate in the family?

Instruction

Alas, often spouses, even those who love each other, cannot find a common language, resort to reproaches, scandals. As a result, the case may go to divorce. Don't try to change your partner! Try to see in it advantages, not disadvantages.

In the pre-wedding period of courtship, future spouses look at each other through rose-colored glasses. This is understandable and natural. They either do not notice the shortcomings of the future life partner, or treat them condescendingly: they say, after the wedding we will re-educate! When family everyday life begins, it gradually dawns on the young spouses that the partner is not at all a sinless angel, and all attempts at re-education cause the opposite effect. And some young couples break up without even having lived together for a year.

Remember that you are married to an adult mature person who has his own tastes, habits, views. He is not a small child to be re-educated. Do not impose your own tastes and habits on him. Try to be more tolerant of his shortcomings, to see the merits first. Avoid conflict situations, always look for a reasonable compromise. Compliance with such simple rules will immediately improve the moral climate in the family.

More kind words, praises, less reproaches and claims. "A kind word and a cat is pleased." Many have probably heard this phrase, but far from kind words, communicating with the closest people. But in vain! After all, a dissatisfied, irritable tone, reproaches and claims (even fair ones) in 99% of people cause an instinctive response. Even if a person himself understands that he is guilty, he did not act in the best way, he will look for excuses for himself or come up with counter reproaches and accusations. It will only hurt the moral climate in the family.

Try to praise your partner more often, give him compliments (for sure there is something for that). Emphasize that you appreciate his care for the family, his help around the house. And if you have justified claims, express them tactfully, without resorting to an accusatory tone, especially insults.

Don't let life get stuck. Often the moral climate in families deteriorates due to monotony, boredom, when life is limited to the boundaries of the house. Even if you love your family nest very much, do not sit forever in four walls. Visit museums, concerts, exhibitions, go on tourist trips if possible. New impressions will only benefit the family.
