PERSONAL FEATURES OF SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN CRISIS CONDITIONS

The article is devoted to the study of socio-psychological adaptation of internally displaced persons in wartime conditions. The article presents the results of an empirical study of personal factors of socio-psychological adaptation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conditions of full-scale war. The research method also determined the schematization of the resource-dynamic model of personality adaptation, conducted a corresponding empirical study of the features of socio-psychological adaptation of IDPs, as well as analyzed its relationships with anxiety, self-esteem, life positions and adaptive personality characteristics, in particular, internal resources of the personality. The study involved 258 respondents, including 116 internally displaced persons from different regions of Ukraine, 71 IDPs from Mariupol and 71 persons without IDP status. The socio-psychological adaptation questionnaire by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, Beck's anxiety scale, M. Rosenberg's self-esteem scale, T. Harris's life positions methodology and the Wiesbaden researcher of positive and family psychotherapy (WIPPF) N. Pezeshkian were used, which allows assessing personal characteristics, internal resources and ways of processing conflicts. Descriptive statistics methods, correlation analysis (Pearson's r) and comparison of correlations using Fisher's z-transformation criterion were used. It was established that anxiety is the leading maladaptive factor of respondents, demonstrating a negative relationship with the integral indicator of adaptation, which is why its most sensitive component to anxiety is emotional comfort. Self-esteem, internal and resources have a stable positive relationship with adaptation. The most significant resource personal characteristics are perceived as contact, trust, activity and perseverance. In the subgroup of IDPs from Mariupol, the relationship between anxiety and adaptation is statistically stronger, which affects the strengthening of the maladaptive impact of anxiety in conditions of intense traumatic experience. The obtained confirmed results provide a resource-dynamic model of adaptation and can be used to develop psychological support programs aimed at reducing anxiety and developing the internal potential of the individual.
