Introduction. The study of the influence of psychological resources on the development of proactivity of future engineers is gaining increasing importance in modern psychology.
The goal - is to identify key psychological resources that determine the development of proactivity components of future engineers.
The study was conducted from 2022 to 2025 at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The sample consisted of 240 future engineers.
Method: CHAID analysis was used to identify key combinations of psychological resources and their impact on the level of development of the components of proactivity.
Results. The structure of the decision tree that was constructed to analyze the influence of resources on the development of the cognitive component of proactivity consisted of 18 nodes, of which 12 were final. The maximum depth of the tree was 4 levels. The analysis showed that «creativity» as a meta-resource is a key predictor of a high level of development of the cognitive component of proactivity of future engineers. Another tree, constructed to study the influence of psychological resources on the development of the affective-motivational component of proactivity, also had a depth of 4 levels and included 23 nodes, of which 15 were final. The analysis showed that the most significant psychological predictor of the affective-motivational component of proactivity was the existential-comprehensive resource «the desire for wisdom». The tree reflecting the results of the analysis of the volitional component of proactivity contained 12 nodes, of which 8 were final, and its maximum depth was 3 levels. The main predictor of a high level of development of the volitional component of proactivity is «knowledge of one's own resources».
Conclusions. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of using the CHAID method for analyzing psychological resources and accurately predicting the levels of development of the components of proactivity.
