The interrelation of individual adaptive capabilities and peculiarities of living in crisis situations in adulthood

Psychological adaptation and individual possibilities in the process of living in crisis situations have been revealed. The crisis situation concept has been analyzed in detail. For the most effective living of crisis situations people need highly developed adaptive capabilities of personality. It is one of the key moments of constructive crisis living. The purpose of the study is to identify the interrelation of individual adaptive capabilities and peculiarities of living in crisis situations in adulthood. Hypothesis of the study is that there is a connection between individual adaptive capabilities and peculiarities of living in crisis situations in adulthood. The study involved 40 people, among them 80 % of women and 20 % of men aged 25 to 45 years (M = 35,95). The following methods were used for empirical research: theoretical and analytical literature review, diagnostic techniques (Personal Experience of Psychological Crisis questionnaire by S.V. Dukhnovsky and Adaptability multilevel personality questionnaire by A.G. Maklakov and S.V. Chermyanin), and Spearman correlation analysis. It has been found that the majority of respondents are in constructive living of the acute crisis with a favorable forecast of the way out of the crisis situation. At the same time, 65 % of the respondents have a low level of personal adaptation potential. Using the mathematical statistics methods the presence of the interrelation of adaptive capacity and living in crisis situations in adulthood has been revealed.
