Purpose. To establish the peculiarities of the severity of psychological well-being of an individual in the conditions of hostilities and its relationship with the characteristics of social and psychological adaptation.
Methods. Methods of theoretical analysis of the problem; methods of empirical research using a set of psychodiagnostic techniques; methods of mathematical statistics: percentage and factor analysis.
Results. The dominant characteristics of socio-psychological adaptation of people with different levels of psychological well-being are revealed. Persons with a low level of psychological well-being are characterized by the use of coping behavior (as a means of overcoming uncertainty and stressful situations) on the basis of self-control, escape-avoidance and planning their own actions in relation to a problem situation, while persons with a high level of psychological well-being are significantly dominated by the strategy of accepting responsibility. Individuals with a high level of psychological well-being have a high rate of general social adaptability due to the breadth of coverage of society's signals, readiness for constructive actions to achieve goals; individuals with a low level of psychological well-being have the lowest rates by the criteria of stability of emotional experience and accuracy of orientation in social expectations,The factor analysis revealed the factor structure of symptom complexes of social and adaptive characteristics of respondents with low, medium and high levels of psychological well-being.
Conclusions. Individuals with a low level of psychological well-being are dominated by adaptation characteristics that indicate a greater degree of emotional response (dominance of the desire for emotional comfort); individuals with an average level of psychological well-being are characterized by the situational use of behavioral and cognitive strategies; individuals with a high level of psychological well-being are significantly dominated by the rational behavioral component in the characteristics of social and psychological adaptation.
