In recent years the role of psychological safety in organizations has been studied by authors(A. Edmondson(1999, 2014, 2019); A.Carmeli, D. Brueller, J. Dutton(2008); A. Carmeli, R. Reiter-Palmon, E. Ziv(2010); W.A. Kahn(1990); B. Sanner, J. Bunderson(2013)) and organizations’ management teams. It has a significant impact on a number of processes within organization. The aim of this work is to study the possible influence of psychological safety on the process of employee perception of organizational crises and their readiness to overcome it. According to results, there is a positive correlaton between these two variables, a relationship in which if one variable increases the second one increases as well. As a result, in psychologically more safe environment employees have positive attitude towards organizational crises and are better positioned to deal with them. The usage of the data from this study will enable the leadership team to develop effective management approaches for managing pre-crisis and crisis situations and maintain a high level of employee engagement.

The article is dedicated to analyzing the adaptation of civilians under conditions of prolonged and continuous traumatic stress caused by armed conflicts. The relevance of this research stems from the fact that most existing studies focus on the adaptation of soldiers and veterans, leaving a significant gap in understanding how civilians cope with ongoing stress in conflict zones.
The article reviews studies examining adaptation and resilience among the civilian population experiencing continuous stress. The literature review confirms that the duration of exposure to traumatic events is a crucial factor in determining the level of adaptation and resilience. It also highlights that prolonged exposure to extreme factors has a cumulative effect on mental well-being, increasing the risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders, and reducing resilience.
The article emphasizes the lack of research dedicated to the adaptation of civilians and substantiates the need for further studies in this area. Such research will provide a deeper understanding of adaptation processes under long-term extreme conditions and facilitate the development of effective psychological support programs for civilians living in conflict zones.

The article presents an analysis of the features of the application of projective methods for testing the psychological state of children, as well as a pilot experiment on the implementation of machine learning tools for the psychological assessment of their drawings. These issues must be considered comprehensively, since most methods of psychological assessment and, in particular, projective technologies impose special requirements for reliability and validity, and also require special training and professional competence for their interpretation. The goal of the research project is to use digitized drawings created by internally displaced children of Nagorno-Karabakh as a tool to identify and assess their psychological state using machine learning methods. We believe that this approach can provide valuable insights into the mental well-being of children affected by the conflict and can serve as a diagnostic tool in times of economic and humanitarian crisis. The proposed feature extraction approach in psychological assessments identifies key visual elements such as object size, color, and spatial relationships that provide insight into emotional and cognitive states. Therefore, the application of machine learning techniques, and in particular feature extraction, classification, clustering, and the use of large language models (LLMs), offers a transformative approach to the psychological assessment of children's drawings. Using neural networks (NNs) for feature extraction, these models can automatically detect important visual elements such as line intensity, shape proportions, color use, and symbolic objects. This automated extraction reduces the subjectivity and variability associated with traditional manual interpretation, improving the accuracy and scalability of assessments. Furthermore, classification and clustering algorithms provide structured ways to group children's drawings based on similar psychological themes, allowing for more objective analysis.

The purpose of this article is to present to the professional community the level of knowledge of students about the protection and strengthening of health and their relationship to a healthy lifestyle (HL) determined by the questionnaire survey. This article presents the results of an empirical study conducted to assess students' attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. The object of the study was: students’ ideas about the concepts of “health” and “healthy lifestyle”, and their attitude towards these phenomena.
The study was conducted using a questionnaire survey, in which 67 students of the Armenian-Russian (Slavic) University took part. The completed questionnaire included 15 questions related to attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. The questionnaire data were processed by generally accepted methods of mathematical statistics. Based on the above, the article presents the results of a study related to the level of value attitude of young people towards their own health and a healthy lifestyle. The conclusions of this research are related to the determination of the level of value attitude of the young generation to their own health, to a healthy way of life, to physical activity and the main assumptions related to it.

In 2023, more than 100,000 Artsakh residents were forced to leave their homes and were forcibly displaced to the Republic of Armenia. Adaptation of forcibly displaced people to a new environment and integration into society is one of the primary research issues facing us today. The process of adaptation and integration of Artsakh residents is endowed with a number of features, which are determined by a number of objective and subjective factors.
Several conceptual models of refugee integration have been developed in science and practice. In this article, we discuss some key models. Taking into account that the forced displacement of Artsakh residents, unlike many existing examples, has some peculiarities, and also there are no universal models of integration of refugee students, we developed and proposed a resource-based model of integration of refugee students. In this model, we have identified personal and environmental factors that, breaking into the resource base of the refugee person, condition the efficiency of integration.
Among personal factors, we consider two groups of factors. The first is the group of socio-economic and demographic factors. The second group of personal factors is psychological, in which we consider personal perceptions and evaluation of possible risks and dangers. Environmental factors include refugees' participation and citizenship and rights of a person. According to our proposed approach, these factors are reflected in the resource environment of the refugee personality. According to our approach, the core of a student’s resource environment is a person's time perspective and also we emphasize being in the educational process as the most important resource in the integration process. The next resource is a person's perception and assessment of their own level of well-being.

The professional work of rescuers is of crucial importance in emergency situations, where the efficiency of rescue operations and the safety of both rescuers and victims directly depend on their professional competences.

The article discusses several psychological features in the formation of national identity, mentality, and core beliefs, using the example of Armenians from Artsakh. Based on research conducted with individuals born and living in Artsakh over the past three decades, it identifies the historically and culturally rooted factors that, according to the author, have a significant impact on the formation of national identity, national consciousness, and thought processes in times of crisis. As noted by Armenian and foreign researchers, since ancient times, the people of Karabakh have been known for their bravery, courage, resourcefulness, resilience, honesty, incorruptibility, and unwavering loyalty in their behavioral choices. Nature and history in Artsakh have shaped a community belonging to the Armenoid anthropological type, one that, spread throughout the world, can be easily recognized by its dynamism, self-sacrificing bravery, inclination toward courage, resilience that borders on tenacity, convictions that verge on stubbornness, and a patriarchal approach in family life. These admirable traits of the people of Artsakh seem to embody the ancient Armenian virtues. Passed down through generations, these human qualities have hardened and shaped the unique and distinctive character of the Armenian population of the region.
