У статті обґрунтовано актуальність вивчення проблеми долаючої поведінки фахівців соціо­номічних професій.  Виділено раніше не вирішені частини означеної проблеми, зокрема, вказано на необхідність вивчення психологічних особливостей стратегій долаючої поведінки студентів та фахівців різних соціономічних професій. Описано процедуру дослідження з використанням опитувальника способів подолання (WCQ; Folkman и Lazarus, 1988), адаптованого Т.  Крюковою у співавторстві, та вибірку, яку склали 198 студентів закладів вищої та середньої освіти м. Чернівці та 214 фахівців, що працюють за різними соціономічними професіями. На основі аналізу результатів емпіричного дослідження виокремлено психологічні особливості стратегій подолання стресу сучасних студентів закладів вищої та середньої освіти і працюючих фахівців різних соціономічних професій, визначено їхні спільні та відмінні особливості, а також здійснено порівняльний аналіз стратегій подолання стресу за статтю. З’ясовано, що сучасні студенти та фахівці використовують різні стратегії стратегії долаючої поведінки, однак  найбільш ви­раженими стилями копінг-поведінки є втеча/уникнення, позитивна переоцінка та самоконтроль, найменш вираженими – прийняття відповідальності. Фахівці частіше у стресових ситуаціях використовують стра­тегії, які відносять до конструктивних, або ж втечу/уникнення, яка в певних ситуаціях може бути досить корисною стратегією поведінки. У поведінці жінок частіше, ніж у чоловіків, домінують механізми прий­няття відповідальності та позитивна переоцінка, які зараховують до відносно конструктивних копінг-стратегій. Дослідження дозволило виявити низку проблем, які потребують цілеспрямованої системної роботи, оскільки в усіх групах досліджуваних серед домінуючих виявлено деструктивні копінг-стратегії, а саме, вказано на необхідність спеціально організованої програми з формування стресостійкості майбутніх фахівців соціономічних професій, професійна діяльність яких є одним із найбільш напружених у психологічному плані видів трудової активності. The article substantiates the relevance of studying the problem of coping behavior of specialists of socionomic professions. The previously unresolved parts of this problem have been highlighted, in particular, the need to study the psychological features of the strategies of overcoming behavior of students and specialists of various socionomic professions. There is described the use of the questionnaire «Ways of Coping» (WCQ, Folkman and Lazarus, 1988) which is adapted by T.L.Kryukova in collaboration (2004) and the research on sample of 198 students of institutions of higher and secondary education in Chernivtsi and 214 specialists working in different socionomic professions. On the basis of the analysis of the results of the empirical research author determined psychological features of the strategies of stress resistance among modern students of institutions of higher and secondary education and working specialists of various socionomic professions. Their common and distinctive features were identified, and a comparative analysis of stress-overcoming strategies by gender was conducted. The results of empirical studies have shown that modern students use various mechanisms of overcoming behaviour in stressful situations, but the most severe coping styles are escape/avoidance, positive reappraisal, and self-control, and the least severe – taking responsibility. The specialists often use constructive styles of coping behaviour or escape/avoidance, which in certain situations can be a good strategy of behaviour. The behavior of women in comparison to men is more often determined by mechanisms of taking responsibility and positive reappraisal, which belong to the relatively constructive coping mechanisms. The research allowed to identify a number of problems that require targeted and systematic work. Destructive coping strategies were found among the dominant strategies in all studied groups, which leads us to the conclusion that there is a need for specially constructed program on the formation of stress resistance of future specialists of socionomic professions, which professional activity is one of the most stressful occupations

The article is devoted to the psychological peculiarities of the manifestation of coping-resources of educators. The teaching profession belongs to the category of professions especially vulnerable to stress, since the teacher has to solve various professional tasks in the absence of time and information, constant open contact with people, which entails considerable emotional energy. The professional activity of a modern teacher requires constant and maximum mobilization of their personal resources. Maintaining or enhancing a person's stress resistance is associated with finding and using resources well enough to help the educator overcome the negative effects of stressful situations. The article reveals such characteristics of personality and social environment that facilitate or make possible adaptation to life stresses, promotes the development of a means of overcoming it, and increases stress resistance. These personal structures help a person cope with threatening circumstances and facilitate adaptation. The author analyzes the scientific and psychological approaches to understand personal resources, determinants of the choice of coping-strategies, and the influence of the characteristics of professional activity on the behavior of the individual. Questions about structure, functions, and types of coping behavior are raised. According to the majority of modern researchers, the generalized classification of the methods of mastering stressful circumstances is analyzed: coping aimed at evaluation; problem-oriented coping; coping aimed at emotions. Also presented were the most up-to-date and most modern models of coping resources, which can be viewed from different angles to look at the choice of coping-resources by the personality of the teacher, taking into account the conditions of his professional activity. The organization and methods of conducted research of the features of manifestation of coping-resources in teachers are described. The presented quantitative and qualitative results are disclosed according to the stages of the study. In particular, the analysis of teacher’s coping-strategies depending on the level of emotional burnout, ways of overcoming difficult life situations, as well as the methods of coping-behavior of the respondents. Relationships between teachers' coping-resources and emotional and mental stress as well as the monotony of professional activities are also identified. Adaptive and non-adaptive coping behaviors are differentiated in terms of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral coping strategies are analyzed separately. Based on the theoretical analysis of the scientific literature and empirical research, the author substantiates the relevant conclusions and recommendations for school educators on the effective use of their own coping resources.

Background. The relevance of the study is associated with the need to increase the effectiveness of measures to prevent the development of mental disorders in law enforcement officers and to form a stable psychological adaptation to high-intensity stressors when working in extreme conditions. Aim. The paper aims to evaluate the adaptability of people of extreme jobs with different indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling. Materials and methods. 158 male officers of law enforcement agencies aged from 18 to 49 years with various types of professional activity were examined: 1) security profile – 24 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia; 2) sensory-motor/sensory-gnostic profile – 92 males of military contract service of the Armed forces of Russia; 3) team profile – 42 officers of the Armed forces of Russia. The use of biofeedback data allowed to evaluate the indicators of regulatory systems in the initial functional state and during stress modeling. The study of individual psychological features was conducted using a battery of psychological tests. Results. Individual psychological features of professional reliability in law enforcement officers with high, medium and low indicators of regulatory systems during stress modeling were determined. It was revealed that individuals with exhausted regulatory systems were characterized by a low autonomy of regulatory processes, difficulties in goals setting, an expanded sphere of saving emotions, and low activation of behavior aimed at pleasure seeking. Conclusion. Empirical data confirmed the feasibility of creating a method for comprehensive psychological, neurobiological and psychovegetative diagnostics of self-control and self-regulation, which allows expanding the existing arsenal of predictive tools for evaluating behavioral responses in people of extreme jobs that require high mental reserves and neuropsychological stability. Taking into account the individual psychological features of law enforcement officers with different activity of regulatory systems is considered as essential for the creation of individualized preventive and rehabilitation programs.

The Impact

The goal is to study the features of the cognitive reserve (CR) in HIV-infected patients admitted to the hospital, the relationship of CR with cognitive disorders, stress and coping strategies, taking into account the drug history.Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the hospital of the Saint Petersburg Center for the prevention and control of AIDS and infectious diseases in 2019. Methods were used: 1) The Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq); 2) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA); 3) «Methods of coping behavior» by R. Lazarus. 4) Modified Impact of Event Scale (IES-R); 5) The Somatic Symptom Disorder — B Criteria Scale (SSD-12).Results. The study involved 57 HIV-infected patients (43.9% — women). The median age was 39.6 years. The correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between the KR index and the «non-professional activity» subscale (r = 0.847, p = 0.000), age (r = 0.299, p = 0.024) and MoCA indicators (r = 0.290, p = 0.029). Indicators of the KR subscale «professional activity» have a negative relationship with the indicators of coping strategies «distancing» (r = -0.379, p = 0.004), «self-control» (r = -0.355, p = 0.008), «positive revaluation» (r = -0.293, p = 0.030), «problem solving planning» (r = -0.283, p = 0.035). MoCA indicators in patients with HIV infection are associated with the CR «Education» subscale (r = 0.306, p = 0.021) and the General CR index (r = 0.290, p = 0.029). Obsessive feelings and thoughts related to the impact of HIV infection are more often experienced by patients who have never abused drugs and are involved in professional activities than by patients with experience of drug use.Conclusion. Cognitive impairment and cognitive reserve in HIV-infected patients admitted to the hospital of the AIDS Center are related to coping behavior.

The article is devoted to the study of the structure of personal resources of coping behavior in high school students with low and medium levels of stress resistance. The study involved 70 high school students aged 16-17 years (М = 17,1 SD = 1,1 (44,2% men)). The study was carried out on the basis of the Kalmyk ethnocultural gymnasium named after I. Zaya-Pandita and Trinity Gymnasium named after B. B. Gorodovikov. The study used the following methods: «Test of self-assessment of stress tolerance» (S. Cowhen, G. Willianson), «Test for optimism» (C. Scheyer, M. Carver, adaptation of O.A. Sychev), methodology «Scale of general self-efficacy» (R. Schwarzer, M. Erusalema, adaptation of V. Romek), the method «Brief scale of self-control» (J. Tangney, R. Baumeister, A. L. Boone, adaptation of T.O. Gordeeva, E.N. Osina, D.D. Suchkova, T.Yu. Ivanova, O.A. Sycheva, V.V. Bobrova), «Questionnaire of self-organization of activity» (E.Yu. Mandrikova), «Methods for diagnosing reflexivity» (A.V. Karpov, V.V. Ponomareva). The methods of mathematical and statistical processing of empirical data were: correlation analysis (r-Spearman), structural - psychological analysis according to generalized indicators of the index of organization, integrativity and differentiation of the structure (A.V. Karpov), the express-x2 method for comparing matrices and structuralograms for their «homogeneity-heterogeneity» (A.V. Karpov). It was found that the basic components that ensure the structural integration of the system of personal resources of coping behavior in the subgroup of high school students with an average level of stress resistance are: optimism; purposefulness; situational reflection; self-control. Research prospects are aimed at further studying the factors and predictors of the personal psychological resources of schoolchildren in overcoming difficult life situations and making recommendations to school psychologists on the development of programs aimed at developing the skills of reflection, self-regulation and self-control in stressful situations in students.

The article is devoted to an empirical study of the psychological features of stress tolerance amongst modern youth. Such components of stress tolerance as coping behavior, adaptability, the level of self-esteem, anxiety, personality orientation, and the locus of control were researched. Based on the results of an empirical study, statistically significant indicators of differences in results in terms of stress tolerance, coping behavior in stressful situations, a tendency to unmotivated anxiety, and cognitive orientation in male and female respondents were revealed. Based on the results of comparative analysis, statistically significant indicators of differences according to the Mann-Whitney criterion and the coefficient of rank correlations of C. Spearman were discovered. Differences in the results of women and men were related to the level of stress tolerance, in particular, in men, it was significantly higher. Two statistically significant indicators of difference were found between the results of men and women in the use of certain coping strategies. Statistically significant differences in the indicators of "emotions" as a coping strategy were revealed: in the studied women, the indicators are higher than in men. Women are more emotional when exposed to stressful situations. There were also statistically significant differences in the indicators of "avoidance": men's indicators for this strategy are higher, so they are more likely to avoid stressful situations than the women studied. Statistically significant indicators of the difference were found among the results of men and women in terms of unmotivated anxiety, locus control, and neuropsychiatric stability. In the women studied, unmotivated anxiety is significantly higher. Indicators of the external locus control are significantly higher among the women studied. They are more likely to use external factors to guide their own behavior and emotional responses. Indicators of the internal locus control are significantly higher among the men studied. Men, unlike women, are more likely to use the internal resources of the individual to manage their own behavioral and emotional responses. In the result of a study of the relationship between stress resistance and adaptive capabilities, a positive correlation was found between stress resistance and neuropsychiatric stability indicators. We can determine the following trend – a low level of neuropsychiatric stability causes lower indicators of stress resistance of the individual. That is, it is quite difficult for respondents with a low level of neuropsychic constancy to manage their own emotions in stressful situations, and they put quite a lot of effort into countering a tension. Based on the results of the study, we believe that work on the development of stress tolerance among modern youth is possible only if the identified indicators are taken into account whilst developing and using appropriate preventive and correctional programs, as well as during consulting and educational psychological activities.

The association between future time perspective and risk-taking behaviors has received extensive empirical attention. However, the underlying mechanism that links future negative time perspective to risk-taking behaviors are complex and not well-understood. To address this gap, we adopted a longitudinal design examined the association between FNTP and risk-taking behaviors, and the roles of coping styles and self-control in this association among Chinese adolescents (total N = 581, 46.3% females). Results showed that FNTP at wave 1 predicted risk-taking behavior at wave 3 via positive and negative coping styles at wave 2. Furthermore, adolescents with low self-control and used negative coping strategies prefer to engage in risk-taking behaviors as compared to their high self-control counterparts. Taken together, these research findings underscore the importance of considering influence of the future negative time perspective on adolescents’ risk-taking behaviors, and provided important implications for developing the preventions and interventions for reducing adolescents’ risk-taking behaviors.

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic may have hit the education industry the hardest, but the socio-psychological effects of quarantine are still poorly understood. A group of scientists from the Ukrainian SMC of practical psychology and social work of the NAES of Ukraine has conducted a study of the socio-psychological problems that have arisen for teaching staff of general secondary education establishments in the context of the pandemic. Purpose. The research was carried out during the implementation of the scientific topic «Overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the activities of the psychological service of the educational system» on the order of the National Research Fund of Ukraine. Design\approach\methodology. The study was conducted by interviewing educators through Google forms. Most of the questions contained a 10-step scale. In processing the data, all respondents’ answers were grouped into 5 categories: "yes", "more likely to", "more likely not", "no", "don’t know/it’s hard to say". The survey was attended by 3,209 teaching staff from general secondary education institutions from all regions of Ukraine, 45% from urban areas, 55% from rural areas; among which 92% were women and 8% were men. Results. Among the results, researchers highlighted the difficulties and fears of educators caused by the pandemic. The fears and complexities of the profession were distributed as follows. 1. The fear of getting infected (infecting family members) is common to 78.2% of the surveyed. 40.9% of the interviewed felt this fear to the greatest extent. However, 9.3% found those fears irrelevant. 2. Problems associated with the use of ICT in educational activities (lack of competence) — 53.2%. Among those, 22.2% have major difficulties and 31% have minor difficulties. Only 15.7% consider themselves fully competent. 3. 73% of educators noted difficulties in involving children in distance learning. This was the main problem for 12.8% of respondents. 4. «It is difficult to adhere to all anti-epidemic requirements in an educational institution to protect students» — 69.5% stated that this is one of the most significant problems of professional activity. 5. Emotional exhaustion, loss of emotional balance, excessive fatigue. 58.7% said that the problem was significant, of which almost 18% said it was very significant. 6. 51.1% of respondents indicated that they were unable to communicate with students' parents regarding monitoring the quality of their students' knowledge. Of these, 8.7% rated it with the highest score. 7. Health related difficulties (consequential of COVID-19). 31.2% of educators consider this problem to be relevant, while 8.9% rated it as very relevant. 30.4% of those interviewed denied the existence of such a problem. Conclusions Taking into account the results of the study, the most relevant areas in the work of the psychologists in the educational system are the following: ● prevention among educators and students of the COVID-bullying; ● working with negative emotional states of participants in the educational process and increasing their stress tolerance; ● providing socio-educational assistance to children and families in difficult life situations, and forming positive life prospects.

The search for ways to increase the efficiency of educational and professional activities of students during the period of study at a military university remains relevant at present. The provision of optimal methods for the students’ professional competencies formation considering their personality dimensions at the shortage of study time has particular importance. The subject of the research is the special aspects of self-adjustment of cadets with different performance levels. The study aims at identifying the features of voluntary self-adjustment and personal characteristics of cadets with different academic performance levels in technical disciplines at a military university. The authors determined the theoretical approaches to the study of self-adjustment as personal property, mental state, and conditions for the successful activity. The paper includes the systematization of the ideas of the self-adjustment role in the process of educational and professional activity. The authors theoretically substantiate the necessity of considering the peculiarities of self-adjustment of cadets of a military higher education institution manifested in the subjective focus on particular phenomena. The paper presents data on the respondents, which includes ninety-one first-year cadets of Novosibirsk Military Institute. The authors substantiate the division of respondents into groups with high and low levels of academic performance. The study identified special aspects of self-control of military university cadets with different levels of academic performance manifested in the orientation of voluntary self-adjustment. The authors determined the features of voluntary self-adjustment of cadets with a high level of academic performance manifested in the presence of the pronounced perseverance in educational activities, friendliness towards fellow students, and the pronounced cognitive need; identified features of voluntary self-adjustment of cadets with a low level of academic performance manifested in the lack of self-control and critical assessment of actions, ignoring their mistakes, and the desire to dominate in interpersonal relations.
