RESOURCE CORRELATIONS OF SUBJECTIVE PERSONAL WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS IN CONDITIONS OF UNCERTAINTY

Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the age characteristics and modern situational characteristics of the personality development of students, which are marked by intense psychological changes associated with the need and ability to make one's own choices in various modes of life for effective adaptation, which creates risks for the loss of internal balance and subjective well-being on the individual's life path. It is known that subjective well-being is largely determined by the level of an individual's internal resources, but the role of cognitive, emotional-regulatory, motivational and social-behavioral resources of psychological immunity and Purpose-in-Life orientations of the individual as factors of subjective psychological well-being remains insufficiently studied. 
The Aim of the study is to determine the relationship between the parameters of subjective well-being and the Purpose-in-Life orientations and components of the psychological immunity of the students' personality. 
Methods. Modified scale of subjective well-being BBC-SWB (adapted by L. Karamushka, O. Kredentser and K. Tereshchenko), "Methodology of diagnosis of Purpose-in-Life orientations" (J. Krambo, L. Makholyk), adapted version of the "Psychological immunity" method (T. Khomulenko, I. Kyslova, I. Bubyr). 60 students of Ukrainian universities aged 19-21 participated in the study. 
Results. The levels of subjective well-being of students are characterized. Correlations of parameters of subjective well-being with indicators of Purpose-in-Life orientations were revealed. Interrelationships between the parameters of subjective well-being and the components of psychological immunity of the students' personality have been established. 
Conclusions. The central role of cognitive, emotional-regulatory, motivational and social-behavioral resources, as well as the Purpose-in-Life in preserving the psychological stability of students' personalities in crisis conditions is shown. Significant relationships were established between Purpose-in-Life orientations and components of subjective well-being, the strongest of which are the locus of control of one's own "I" and orientation to the life process. It was found that psychological immunity is an important factor in maintaining the subjective psychological well-being of students, as most of its components are positively related to indicators of psychological, physical and social well-being, as well as to the integral level of subjective quality of life. The strongest constructive effect was demonstrated by positive thinking, emotional regulation, self-acceptance, Purpose-in-Life orientation, and resilience, which testifies to the leading role of personal resources in the formation of the internal stability of the individual and subjective life satisfaction.
