THE SPECIFICS OF ADAPTATION AND INTERNAL DISORDER PATTERN OF ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES
AbstractThe internal disorder pattern is considered as a component of the Self-concept and is understood as a complex of sensations, knowledge, experiences, and motivational changes associated with the disorder. This phenomenon includes four components: physical, cognitive, emotional, and motivational. The features of the internal disorder pattern of adults with disabilities (IPD) are defined in the study. The phenomenon of IPD is considered as a factor in the formation of the Self-concept, which means that it can be associated with a person's attitude to himself, to others, with the motives of activity, with the formation of various personality traits. The components of IPD have different contents and severity depending on the variant of dysontogenesis.The greatest severity of the components of IPD is observed in groups of adults with impaired functions of the musculoskeletal system and hearing disorders. The internal pattern of the disorder is important for the socio-psychological adaptation of the individual. The study determined the relationship of IPD with such indicators of adaptation as emotional comfort, external and internal control, dominance, and avoidance of problems. Some of the IDP parameters are predictors of adaptation parameters for various variants of impaired development.

THE ROLE OF CONTROL PROCESSES IN REGULATING SELF- EFFICACY IN TASKS WITH HIGH PREDICTABILITY
AbstractThe study's objective is to describe how cognitive control mechanisms influence performance in different tasks. We believe that popular resource models have disadvantages when explaining one's effectiveness in a particular task. We argue that the limitations on one's performance happen not because of limited cognitive resources but rather due to logically based restrictions. One of the restrictions is rooted in one's need for consistency in their representations of the world and themselves. We infer that having a specific expectation about self-efficacy in a particular task dramatically influences the outcome: cognitive control mechanisms finetune one's performance to agree with one's expectations on the efficiency of said performance. In the study, we tested how regularities in stimuli influence one's performance. In the experiment (23 subjects), we used the Musical Stroop test. For part of the trials, we used melodies as regularities, while in other trials, we presented fillers - random sets of notes. The results show that melodies reduce interference and have a faster response time than in the filler condition. We argue that it is due to the role of cognitive control mechanisms that maintain self-efficacy. We discuss the implication of the proposed approach.

THE ROLE OF ADAPTIVE POTENTIAL OF YOUTH IN CONDITIONS OF SOCIAL ANXIETY
AbstractThe article examines the impact of dynamic changes in political, socioeconomic conditions on the life of youth. In such a situation, young people show signs of anxiety, social insecurity and pessimistic views on the future. Profound changes are taking place in the formation of motives for life, in primary needs, social positions and life values, leading to an exacerbation of the need for security and, at the same time, to a limitation of its satisfaction, which is the most important condition for normal life, development, selfaffirmation and self-expression of young people. The psychological safety of young people is ensured through socio-psychological adaptation due to the adaptive potential. As a result of the study, the features of the perception of social anxiety in young people and the manifestation of adaptive potential in extreme conditions were revealed. A comparative analysis of similar phenomena in the CIS countries, Europe and Israel was also carried out.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BEHAVIORAL STRATEGY AND PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT LEVEL IN DIFFICULT LIFE SITUATIONS AMONG PEDAGOGUES
AbstractEpidemic, war, post-war chaos, this was the situation our society had to deal with. Every aspect of human life was encountered with the new circumstances that brought about the need to change. And, the educational system was not an exception. The latter appeared to be the main target of this situation. The pedagogues, as a subject of the educational process, suffered all the negative influences that led to drastic changes in both the external and internal environments. Teaching has moved to a wider platform; the whole educational ecosystem has changed. The teaching methods, the management of the process, the relations between the object and the subject of education were mediated. In the conditions of enormous emotional tension, it was momentous for the pedagogues to find the energy and resources and cope with the novel stress. The variety and durability of stressors, the increase in workload, the urgency of new professional approaches necessitated the urgent development of new behavioral strategies. The study aims to find out the level of professional burnout of educators, the behavioral strategies for coping with stressful situations, and whether there is a connection between the level of occupational burnout and preferred “coping behavior".

PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONALITY OF PROFESSIONAL REFLECTION AND BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES IN SITUATIONS OF PROBLEMATIC INTERACTION
AbstractThe article analyzes the problem of interpersonal interaction in the process of joint activity, which has been and remains one of the most important problems in social, organizational and management psychology. Based on the classifications of the partners in the joint activity (“unwanted”, “complex”, “viral”, etc.) were identified characteristics and evaluation criteria for the indicated types and behavioral strategies. The aim of the study was supposed to develop, based on the characteristics of the manifesttation of the process of professional reflection in conditions of problematic interaction, a two-sided universal model for correcting self-awareness, evaluating and choosing a strategy for behavior in such situations. Comparison of psychological criteria for assessing personal manifestations and behavioral strategies in the face of overcoming problematic interactions has allowed the development and testing of training that helps to build the skill of self-regulation, evaluation, and identification of “problematic” partners, with a further search for an individual behavior strategy.

RESEARCH OF THE INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE PROJECT TEAM
AbstractThe relationship between the components of innovation potential (readiness for innovation, readiness to work in a team, experience in working in a project team) is studied using a specially developed questionnaire of role behavior in a team and a methodology for studying types of innovative behavior. Employees of industrial enterprises aged 19 to 40 years and work experience from 6 months to 22 years involved in innovative projects, as well as among students of a technical university took part in the research. It was shown that the most preferred type of innovative potential among employees with experience is the "moderator" type, and students more often choose the "opportunity seeker" type. The similarities and differences of both types are considered. It was shown that students, in comparison with employees of enterprises, overestimate their propensity to introduce radical innovations and, in general, their own determination in professional activity.

PERSONAL AND REGULATORY PREDICTORS OF AGGRESSION
AbstractThe article provides data from an empirical study of regulatory and personal predictors of aggression. Conscious self-regulation, life values, sociocultural identity and personal characteristics (Big 5) of the respondents were considered as predictors. It was suggested that the management of aggression is associated with the level of development of the personality-regulatory characteristics of the subject, which have their own socio-cultural conditioning. The study involved 278 teachers from the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions, from the republics of North Ossetia- Alania, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria. By age structure, the sample included teachers from 20 to 72 years old. For diagnostics, we used: questionnaire "Style of self-regulation of behavior", questionnaire of aggression Bass-Darki, methodology "Determination of sociocultural identity", Freiburg multifactorial personality questionnaire, "Morphological test of life values." The results obtained showed that indicators of conscious self-regulation are significant predictors of aggression management. For physical aggression, an important predictor is the regulatory indicator "evaluation of results", and for verbal aggression - "planning". And in the number of personal characteristics, racial tolerance, regional identity and a predisposition to stressful responses to ordinary life situations proceeding in a passive-defensive type make a significant contribution to the management of aggression.

PREVENTION OF SUICIDE, NEW HORIZONTS
AbstractThe article presents a conceptual model for assessing suicidal activity and risk, developed by the authors. This model is compiled taking into account the expanded and supplemented bio-psycho-social model of Georg Engel (Engel G., 1977), which consists of three types of constructs: biological, psychological and social. Actually, the constitutional psychotype of a person is the genetic predisposition of each specific person belonging to one of three somatotypes (normostenic, asthenic, hypersthenic) and the expected basic individual behavioral response (Fight –Flight –Freeze), which is almost always manifested in response to a stressful situation. In clinical psychology, it is generally accepted that almost any individual who is truly engulfed in suicidal thoughts, neither only does not have, but does not seek an alternative solution. Figuratively speaking, he develops "tunnel vision", that is, he sees a very minimal range of solutions to his problem, more precisely one - fatal. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that it is necessary to create a system of "external and internal anchors" that keep the patient from committing a suicidal act. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that it is necessary to create a system of "external and internal anchors" that keep the patient from committing a suicidal act. It was based on several basic questions-constructs, the answers to which could be obtained in the process of a doctor / psychologist-patient dialogue. Thus, an individual scheme of psychotherapeutic treatment was built, the purpose of which is to keep a person from a suicidal attempt. So, four basic questions: "What?", "Who?", "What?" and "How?". The article also presents a specially developed author's scale (A.B) *, which is called the "suicidal ruler", BARS-2000 (Rapid Active Calculation of Suicidality), which was successfully used not only in the admission rooms of psychiatric hospitals for the civilian population, but also for checking persons, noncommissioned officers of the conscript service of the Israel Defense Forces.

DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTOR AND COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS AMONG STUDENTS ENGAGED IN GYMNASTICS
AbstractThe present work is devoted to the analysis of the speed and regulatory characteristics of motor and cognitive functions in students of different genders and levels of sports qualification engaged in gymnastics. The study involved students of various faculties of the Lomonosov Moscow State University - 40 boys and 26 girls, whose lateral profile of motor and sensory functions was previously determined. Tapping test and Hand-Dominanz-Test (HDT) were used to study the dynamic components of motor functions. The dynamic characteristics of cognitive processes were evaluated using the Color-Word Interference Test - a modification of the Stroop test from the D-KEFS battery and the Compass test. It was found that the speed indicators of both motor and cognitive functions were higher in young men, regardless of the level of sports qualification. Voluntary regulation of motor functions is more effective among female students than among students. The results of the study indicate that such an indicator of the voluntary regulation of cognitive processes as cognitive flexibility is higher in young men compared to girls and in more highly qualified athletes, regardless of gender. The connection of individual characteristics of motor and cognitive processes with success in the chosen sport is discussed.

LOCUS OF CONTROL IN GEORGIAN POPULATION WHILE THE 2020 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
AbstractOne of the factors affecting the behaviour in the conditions of COVID19 pandemic and, in its turn, responding these conditions, is the locus of control. Presented study aims to identify the locus of contol in pandemic situation and explore whether the stressful situation will affects the locus control type. The research uses an adapted (for Georgian population), standardized and validated Rotter Test and its modified version (by R. Sakvarelidze) where reference to the pandemic appears in every statement of the test. The subjects were tested using both versions. Main result of the study shows that in pandemic conditions people tend to change their locus of control-in most cases they become more internals than they used to be. The study also revealed that the external locus of control was substituted by the internal one. Such a change of the locus of control results in taking more personal responsibility for fulfiling the recommendations given by professionals from medical sphere. Consequently, psychological recommendation will involve promoting the qualities which are characteristic for internals. We suppose that obtained results will help us to develop the strategies for psychocorrection and psychorehabilitation during pandemic and post-pandemic period.

REPRESENTATIONS OF MEGACITY AND SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL SATIETY OF YOUNG CITY DWELLERS WITH LIVING CONDITIONS
AbstractThe article deals with the problem of the relationship between social and psychological satiety and social ideas about the metropolis. The contradictory perception of young people living conditions in a metropolis is explained by the fact that the core and periphery of social representation include judgments of different modality. A connection was found between elements of the periphery of representation and indicators of socio-psychological satiety. It is shown that the satiety of young people with living conditions in the city is associated with their perception of the problematic aspects of life in the metropolis. The choice of strategies for coping with the state of satiety is determined by the respondents' experience of a range of negative emotions and feelings.

PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS VACCINATION AGAINST COVID-19
AbstractVaccination is an effective way to control the infection. Aim of the study was to investigate the psychological variables associated with attitude towards coping with the pandemic by vaccination. Materials: the data of an Internet- survey of 1336 people. Methods: SCL-90-R, CTI, COPE, "Moral dilemmas" were used, the attitude was assessed according to the question. The responses received, in accordance with the activity of the subject, were divided into two blocks: "vaccination" / "overcoming the situation with the help of external circumstances."

GENDER FEATURES OF ADAPTATION OF SUBJECTS TO THE SITUATION OF CHANGE OF TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
AbstractThe features of adaptation of subjects to the situation of changing types of professional activity, taking into account their gender, are considered. The study involved 292 people, including 146 men, 146 women, who in one form or another change their professional activities (undergoing training in various programs, un- employed, looking for a new vacancy). Empirical material was collected using computer testing, standardized psychological methods were used. In men, connections have been established between all components of adaptability, resilience and coping strategies; the key predictor is “engagement”. For men, cognitive coping strategies are not productive. The respondents from the female sample did not reveal significant correlations between “moral normativity” as a factor of adaptability, components of resilience and coping strategies, the key factor being “risk taking”. Women tend to use cognitive and emotional coping strategies. It was revealed that the ability to adapt to the situation of changing types of professional activity in all subjects is associated with the readiness to accept changes in life ("adaptive abilities"); with the desire to get involved in activities that you can enjoy ("involvement"); with an openness to new experience ("risk taking").

PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF EMPATHY
AbstractThe ability to empathize is one of the most important in relationships between individuals: it "forces" them to change their behavior, sometimes to their detriment, leads to group cohesion, etc., which makes the study of empathy important and relevant. There are different types of empathy, while only people are usually endowed with true empathy, and ideas about the organization of brain activity and the psychophysiological foundations of empathy are extremely few. Recently, the manifestations of empathy have been associated with the functioning of systems of "mirror neurons", and the phenomenon of empathy itself has been considered on two levels: innate, associated with the presence of" mirror systems", and acquired, associated with"cognitive processing of information". The uncertainty in the definition of empathy, the methodological difficulties and limitations of research on empathy in humans, on the one hand, and the ideas about the structure of individual experience and the organization of brain activity developed in the system- evolutionary approach [2, 3], on the other, allow us to assume that the psychophysiological basis of empathy can be understood as a result of the study of the organization of brain activity in the implementation of "empathic" behavior. The results of a study of empathy and the organization of brain activity in rats in a model of instrumental food-acquisition behavior are reported.

USING MINDFULNESS, AS THE METHOD OF SELF-REGULATION FOR CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT
AbstractThe objective of the study is to find out the influence of the mindfulness meditation on the development of creativity. The article describes how the mindfulness meditation can promote the development of creativity. Survey, correlational and experimental research was done using the research methods of testing and experiment. The methods of diagnostics are the test by F. Williams for creativity assessment and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) by Ruth Baer. The correlational research showed that there were considerable connections among the level of awareness and creativity. As a result of the qualitative analyses of the experiment, it turned out that the solutions suggested by the students were more creative after the meditations. The results of the retesting showed that the level of the creativity has improved after the 5-days mindfulness training. The study opens new perspectives to manipulate with the mindfulness based interventions in order to receive more significant results for creativity development.

SOME SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENT WELFARE IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
AbstractThe article is devoted to one of the most important issues in modern psychology, the issue of student well-being. The work covers a number of approaches to personal well-being through theoretical analysis, which presents the types of well-being and the ways of expression, structure and features. The author explores a number of factors, including student satisfaction with learning activities, group cohesion, and social adjustment, as well as the interrelationships between these factors. The analysis of theoretical and research results allows us to say that no matter how much a student life is subject to a certain order, it is regulated by certain rules and norms, which insures oneself from unpleasant events, however, the psychological well-being of the student in the educational social environment is mainly conditioned by the high manifestation of adaptation and cohesion, the high level of students' satisfaction with the educational activity.

THE PSYCHOSOMATIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMBAT STRESS AND INJURIES (MONITORING RESULTS REPORT)
AbstractThe study was conducted in real conditions while assisting military medical staff. Our psychological team working on a voluntary basis participated in the rehabilitation and psychological assessment of thousands of soldiers during the 44-day war and in the post-war period. In this work, we have made an attempt to address the assessment of soldiers’ psychological conditions due to combat stress and post-stress conditions, depending on the nature of the trauma (injury or mental disorder). Accounting all these conditions allows us to more effectively and accurately assess soldiers’ mental and physical health, to clarify the vectors of psycho-rehabilitation work, to predict further psychological shifts. The study revealed significant patterns of inverse correlation between physical injury and mental disorders, as well as some connections between the personal component and mental disorder.

QUALITY OF LIFE OF ATHLETES DURING END OF SPORTS CAREER
AbstractThe article deals with the psychological characteristics (quality of life, peculiarities of manipulative behavior) of student-athletes at the end of their sports career. In order to identify the level of athletes' quality of life a study was conducted with the participation of student-athletes of EE "Belarusian State University of Phy- sical Culture", completing their sports career. Most athletes use a competitive type of manipulation, perceiving life situations as a game of winning and losing, seeking to win by any means, most often use and play the role of a drooler, a nice guy, a stickler. The overall quality of life index of athletes at the end of their sports career corresponds to the average level and indicates the desire to gain new knowledge, the desire to become professionals, the importance of communication with loved ones and maintaining their health in optimal condition. However, athletes are often stressed, pessimistic and anxious about the challenges of completing their athletic career and choosing a new path. The quality of life of athletes at the end of their athletic careers is reduced by athletes' use of manipulative techniques as they strive to achieve high performance with the greatest efficiency and least cost in their new field of endeavor. In order to improve the quality of life and achieve success outside of sport, athletes need to determine a further strategy for their personal development, which consists of self-actualization, which will allow them to unlock their personal potential and realize their abilities. A high level of quality of life of athletes will allow them to reveal their potential and realize their abilities without the use of manipulative techniques.

PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE SCIENCE IN ARMENIA
AbstractOne of the priorities for the development of modern science is the study of the cognitive field, which requires an interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of the theoretical analysis is to reveal the perspectives, tendencies and peculiarities of the development of cognitive science in Armenia, studying both the Armenian and the international scientific field. For that purpose, we have studied the scientific work done in different directions of cognitive science, as well as the research programs of the centres, published articles, and their quantitative and qualitative indicators in Armenia. As a result, we have come to the conclusion that studies in this field in Armenia are not complex, while it is a comprehensive field of applied and practical research, a leading scientific field, includes various interdisciplinary directions, as well as it is a source of important scientific discoveries not only for psychologists but also for neurophysiologists, physiologists, biologists, artificial intelligence practitioners, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists. Thus, cognitive science is a strategic direction, especially for the development of modern psychological science, training of specialists in the field of management, and improvement of the professional activity of a specialist. This makes it imperative to establish a centre of cognitive research in Armenia. Perspectives for the development of the centre for cognitive research are as follows: training of the specialists based on the study of the peculiarities of cognitive processes, creation of a neuropsychological basis for the development of artificial intelligence, including the study of the insight opportunities in that process, development of cognitive schemes for the managers to solve non-standard problems.All this will give an opportunity to develop, create innovative models and schemes for the development of human and artificial intelligence.

THE ROLE OF HEALTH BELIEFS IN COVID-19 PREVENTIVE BEHAVIOR
AbstractBeliefs have proved to be significant factors in regulating behavior, including health-related behaviors. The health belief model suggests that people can perform or change their behavior depending on their perceptions of health and disease. The present study discusses the health beliefs underlying Covid-19 preventive behaviors. The study objectives were to identify the predictive significance of health- related beliefs in COVID-19 preventive behavior as well as to content-wise interpret the specifics of some COVID-19-related beliefs and self-reported behavior. The sample comprised 237 participants (64,1% female, M=29,75; SD=10,693; Range=18-58), regression analysis was performed. Some results of in-depth interviews on COVID-19 perceptions (conducted as part of the project’s qualitative component) were thematically analyzed and used in interpreting the statistical data. According to the results, preventive behaviors such as frequent hand washing or disinfection of frequently used objects, infrequent leaving the house, wearing a mask, avoiding meeting friends and relatives are conditioned by beliefs about the effectiveness of preventive behavior, perceived barriers and perceived severity. The predictive significance of beliefs for COVID-19 preventive behaviors suggests that their further identification and scrutiny can contribute to the improvement and promotion of individuals’ preventive behaviors both in times of the pandemic and other large-scale healthcare issues.

EXPECTATION OF A CHILD DURING A PANDEMIC: THE INFLUENCE OF STRESS FACTORS ON THE PRENATAL STRESS OF PARTNERS AND METHODS OF COLLATING IT
AbstractExpectation of a child is a stressful life period, since it determines a number of changes at the organismic, personal, social and sociocultural level in both women and male partners. This condition is referred to as "prenatal stress", the source of which are stressors of different levels - specific for the period of expectation of the child (determined by the course and the specifics of pregnancy), individual (personality-related) and macrosocial. The current epidemiological situation potentially increases the likelihood of developing prenatal stress associated with persistent affective symptoms - anxious, depressive or phobic. This work is focused on the study of fears as a manifestation of prenatal stress, since it is fear, different in content, that is a characteristic feature of our reality. Forced quarantine and fear of infection, combined with limited access to professional medical and social support, heightens the intensity of the experience in couples preparing for parenthood. For an in-depth study of multicomponent stressors that arise during pregnancy and ways of coping with them, an empirical study was carried out in dyads awaiting a child (n = 203). The results indicate that partners are almost equally vulnerable to stressors, but the variations in coping with them are different for women and men. Women show great flexibility in using coping behavior; men have a clear tendency to distance themselves from circumstances. However, in matters of pregnancy, childbirth and health, there are constructive coping methods. The findings indicate the need to develop specific measures aimed not only at women, but also at men.

MANIFESTATION OF PERSON'S SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTITUDES IN MANAGEMENT
AbstractPsychological science proves that a person can use his potential to the fullest if he works in a field compatible with his personal characteristics and working attitudes. This fact has been recently the focus of the management, in particular, in the process of developing human resource management strategies. The process of person-position matching requires not only managerial approaches, but also psychological ones. We set a task of studying a person's social-psychological attitudes in working activities in a transforming society. The method of diagnostics of social and psychological attitudes of the personality by O.F. Potyomkina was selected for the research. The research group consisted of the managers of different levels with 5-20 years of work experience (n = 860) who have higher education, and work in a private organizations. The results of the research showed that the group was more oriented towards freedom, result and altruism. The indicators of the orientation to the money and power were less pronounced. It turns out that material motivations in this group can not affect the quality of the work even in case of the high performance rates. While conducting this research, the problem was raised to study the differences in the social-psychological attitudes of managers and non-managers at work. Only in the case of one criterion (orientation towards power) the indicators of the social-psychological attitudes of managers and non-managers were different, which indicates that non-managers are less oriented towards power than those who hold managerial positions.

AbstractNowadays the training of the managers requires improvement, which implies training a creative manager, who can work in uncertain and emergency situations. People who express their creativity have special personality traits. However, the correlation of the creativity and personality traits in management has not been sufficiently studied. It is also necessary to study the creativity methods based on the correlation between creativity and personality traits. If we consider creativity as the core system-creating quality for all traits, we can assume which traits of a person will be displayed in case of the expression of creativity. The purpose of this article is to study the creativity of a specialist as a system creating quality. Combined with the personality traits and the application of creativity methods it ensures the proposal of unique and new ideas. For this purpose we did research. We used the tests by F. Williams for creativity assessment and for discovering the individual qualities of a creative person, Cattell's 16 Personality Factors Test, Ryff`s Psychological Wellbeing Scale. Thus, for the creative solution of the problem, personal traits are needed, which will help to express the standards of creativity. However, appropriate methods, motivation and psychological security are needed for the effectiveness of the creative process in professional activities.

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE RESEARCH OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF RUSSIAN AND ARMENIAN STUDENTS
AbstractThe article raises the actual problem of studying the psychological well-being of students. The author's understanding of the "well-being", "psychological well- being" and "subjective well-being" of a person is presented. Psychological well-being is defined as an integral characteristic of the subject's states that ensure the consistency of all mental functions and processes, the achievement of internal balance and subjective integrity. Methodological approaches to the organization of a cross-cultural study of the psychological well-being of students enrolled in Russian and Armenian universities have been substantiated. As the most important approaches, the sociocultural approach is defined, which considers the development of a student in the context of his interaction with the environment, involving the study of the impact on the level of psychological well-being of the immediate social environment (especially the educational environment, family climate, social capital), and other macro-factors (ethnicity, national traditions, ideology, values, socio- economic way of life); as well as a contextual approach that allows us to consider the situation of full-time education at a university as a predictor of the psychological well-being of Russian and Armenian students, taking into account other contexts of life (living with a family or apart from parents, living in a hometown or moving to another city, the "academic" option learning or combining study with work).

AbstractThis article presents the results of an empirical analysis of the components of happiness and well-being in accordance with the theoretical and partially empirically verified author's model. The article describes the results of descriptive statistical processing of data from 363 respondents, as well as factor analysis of data on happiness and well-being in two samples: Russian and Armenian students. Comparison of these indicators is also described. As a result, various ideas about psychological well-being that exist among student youth are highlighted. If there are similarities in considering well-being as a result and goal of activity (the factor "Well- being as a result / activity"), as well as the image of the future (factor "Well-being as a goal"), which a person strives for, students of different nationalities put different ideas into this image. Russians combine family, personal and professional well-being more organically than Armenians. At the same time, Armenians better integrate success in interpersonal and intrapersonal interaction, while Russian students tend to share these parameters. In general, the article illustrates the similarity of quantitative indicators of psychological well-being and happiness in Russian and Armenian students with different qualitative content of the studied indicators.
