The article deals with the theoretical and methodological basis of the study of coping strategies in the student age. It is noted that the importance of coping behavior is to solve the following important tasks in stressful situations: to find the meaning of the situation, to confront the stressor, to maintain relations with those who could be a potential helper in solving the crisis, to maintain emotional balance, to maintain the image of self,social identity and self-belief. Emphasis is placed on the following coping behavior strategies: solving a problem, managing one’s emotions, avoiding a stressful situation. It is noted that the most responsive strategy is to solve the problem. The assumption is made that there is a relationship between the psychological characteristics of the personality structure and the person’s choice of a strategy for behavior in the stress. Such characteristics can be features of thinking (criticality and flexibility), organizational and communication skills, personal readiness to act in situations of uncertainty, readiness to resolve conflicts. It is argued that the choice of coping strategies and their implementation are filled with age-related psychological personality traits. Respectively, in the student-age determinants of coping behavior may be specific internal characteristics of the individual, which are important for the purposeful learning of students adaptive, effective coping. An empirical study of psychological determinants of coping strategies in a student environment is highlighted.

The article proves that the main form of overcoming stress is coping behavior, which is understood as a purposeful social and neurophysiologically determined behavior that allows a person to cope with stress in ways that meet the characteristics of the individual and the situation. Coping behavior is considered a synonym for stress-coping behavior, which is expressed in the use of coping strategies by the individual. Personal characteristics and situational factors determine the choice of coping behavior strategies. The article aims to resolve the contradictions of multimodal approaches to the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries and group theories that include not only external social but also neurophysiological factors. The article shows that the choice of coping strategies mostly depends on personal and neurophysiological factors. These include neurophysiological reflexive or instinctive and higher ones: adequate self-concept, positive self-esteem, personality anxiety, cognitive style, and energy resources, which include endurance and temperament characteristics, intelligence, creativity, and locus of personality control. Overcoming a stressful situation is impossible without cognitive "processing," which becomes available through reflection. The influence of reflection on the choice of coping strategy of the individual is that reflective individuals choose more adaptive and effective strategies. The international relevance of the article lies in discovering neuroscientific aspects of the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries, which will allow these countries to contribute to the global scientific interdisciplinary discourse.

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.

Behavior Strategies

In 2020, the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical workers who are fighting for the lives and health of patients in the "red zones" were on the front line in this struggle. The huge level of responsibility, the increasing duration of shifts, difficult working conditions, fears for their health and the health of their loved ones, and many other factors determined the fact that doctors themselves began to need support for their physical and psychological well-being. The purpose of our work was to study the level of perceived stress in the context of the features of coping strategies in medical professionals with different practical experience (students, practicing doctors) in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of study participants was 59 people, including 35 experienced medical workers aged 33 to 72 years (M=47,88; SD=9,44) and 24 medical students aged 20 to 29 years (M=24,16; SD=3,21) without professional experience, but who voluntarily went to work in the "red zones" during the pandemic. As a result of the study, data were obtained on high levels of perceived stress and overstrain by medical professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is especially pronounced in students. The differences between experienced doctors and medical students were revealed according to the criterion of their preference for certain coping strategies, namely, the predominance of "Escape–avoidance" coping among students. The connection of dominant coping behavior strategies with the level of perceived stress is also established: students who resort to confrontational coping experience a higher level of perceived stress, and a decrease in their level of overexertion is associated with a greater degree of self-control strategy. Experienced doctors do not have both of these connections.

In this study we analyzed the quality of life in 62 patients (35.5 % of men and 64.5 % of women; mean age 55 years) who had tumor lesions in different parts of the spine and were treated in the Department of Vertebral Surgery, N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center, Ministry of Health of Russia. We assessed the association between the quality of life and psychological characteristics of patients – coping strategies and personal resources. We used a general questionnaire for assessing patients’ quality of life (The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Items Health Survey) and special questionnaires for cancer patients (Quality of Life Questionnaire – Core 30, QLQ-C30), patients with tumor lesions to the spine (Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire, SOSG OQ), and psychodiagnostic methods, such as Ways of Coping, Big Five, and Life-meaning Orientations. We have identified an association between the quality of life and all parameters of psychodiagnostic questionnaires, better quality of life correlated with more pronounced psychological characteristics reflecting the maturity of the individual (internality, activity, presence of meaningful goals, ability to seek social support, etc.). Lower personal maturity and poorer constructive coping strategies were associated with worse somatic symptoms and their impact on the quality of life.

Today, the activities of military units become especially important in conditions of instability in the country. Consequently, the study of the psychological characteristics of such people becomes expedient. Modern types of combat are requirements that often exceed the capabilities and resources of the military. This, in turn, creates a need for a special type of personality - stable, socially active, with a high level of self-regulation and the ability to withstand pressure from adverse factors [9].In modern psychology, the individual way in which a person can cope with a complex, crisis situation is determined by the concept of coping behavior. The study of this concept is especially relevant for persons working in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Coping is a strategy of behavior in complex stressful situations, which is chosen by servicemen to deal with stress. This is a kind of response of the psyche, which is an adaptive mechanism at the time of negative impact. The choice of coping strategies is determined by a number of personality traits that determine the dominant pattern of behavior of a particular serviceman during decompression.

The theoretical and empirical analysis of the concepts of coping strategy, locus of control (internality-externality) and achievement motivation is provided in the article. Various points of view on coping strategies, as well as on achievement motivation, social intelligence and internality as professionally important personality characteristics of leaders of the real sector of the economy are considered. The structure of the relationship of socio-psychological characteristics and coping strategies of leaders is revealed. The correlation of coping strategies and locus of control, achievement motivation is investigated. The results of the study of the relationship of coping strategies, locus of control, achievement motivation and socio-psychological characteristics among managers allowed us to draw the following conclusions. 1. Two types of leaders were obtained: “Internal” and “External”. 2. Each type of leader has his own combination of coping strategies. 3. Within each of the two types of leaders, subtypes are distinguished. As a result, we get a two-level typology, the second level of which includes five types of leaders, depending on their socio-psychological characteristics and preferred coping strategies. 4. All types are characterized only by their inherent features of coping behavior. The greatest differences in usage patterns were found in strategies such as Confrontational Coping, Positive Reappraisal, Self-Control, Distance, and Emotional Coping. All types of executives have the greatest preference for strategies such as Problem Coping and Problem Solving Planning. 5. The greatest contribution to the psychological characteristics of types was made by such qualities as aggressiveness, friendliness, dominance, altruism and authoritarianism. In addition, the level of internality (including general and relative to one’s own failures and achievements), personality traits (courage, suspicion, high normative behavior, dominance).

Introduction. The choice of coping behavior strategies is a factor in increasing the efficiency of professional activities of educators. Despite the large number of publications on this topic, there is a lack of research on teachers’ choice factors regarding coping strategies. The authors suggest that the choice of coping strategies is determined not only by the teaching experience, but also by the special subject a teacher has to teach. Materials and Methods. The methods, used in the study are the following: Ways of Coping by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman and Questionnaire by E. Heim. The survey group was 475 teaching employees with various lengths of teaching experience and teaching specialities. For statistical processing, MANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and the χ² criterion were used. Results. In the course of analysis of variance, it was found that the choice of preferred coping strategies depends not only on the length of teaching experience, but also on the speciality area taught. This refers to both specific strategies (Distancing, Self-control and Positive Revaluation) and productive, relatively productive and unproductive strategies in general. Based on the severity of coping behavior strategies, two groups of pedagogical workers were identified: with a more evident (preschool educators, psychologists and subject teachers) and less evident (primary school teachers and teachers of additional education) coping strategies. Discussion and Conclusion. The specificity of the choice of both productive and unproductive strategies for coping behavior is determined not only by the length of teaching experience, but also by the specialization taught. The authors have highlighted coping strategies that are most typical for various groups of teaching staff. The results obtained can be useful for educational psychologists who provide psychological support for teams of educational organizations. The revealed specificity of coping behavior of teaching staff can serve as a basis for the development of preventive measures to offset professional burnout.
