Space weather effects on the features of personal response of volunteers in a multiple-latitude monitoring

The article presents a comparative analysis of psycho-emotional peculiarities of persons from polar, sub-polar and middle latitudes, taking part in multiple-latitude monitoring, in relation to a psychological sensitivity to heliogeomagnetic factors. 64 relatively healthy persons, males and females, have been examined using the following tests: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Ch. Spielberg, U. Khanin), E. Heim Test, Psycho-Geometric Test. Reactive anxiety and integral index of heliogeomagnetic activity (Kр-index) have been determined by a two-month phase of monitoring, other tests have been checked once in the beginning of a phase. Group I consisted of persons with maximum coincidences in Kр-index peaks and in reactive anxiety. Group II consisted of persons with no coincidences. It is found that the volunteers from the group I and II, as in northern (polar and sub-polar) as in middle latitudes, had a number of similarities depending on a psychological sensitivity to heliogeophysical factors (tending to analyze problems, emotional suppression, agreeableness, purpose). The findings of the study allow organizing patient-specific preventive methods for psycho-somatic diseases and neuroticisms in relatively healthy persons taking into consideration their psychological sensitivity to changes in heliogeomagnetic activity, and the latitude of their place of living.
