Abstract

Migration has been a popular topic among researchers and scholars from various fields; and evaluated from different perspectives such as that of sociologists, politicians and economists. The main approaches to the comprehension of concept «migration» are considered in the article. The cultural and historical concepts bases for analyzing and developing of adequate notion of migration process is proposed. The article deals with major traumatic problems and issues faced by migrant workers and how they affect the psychological state of individuals. The socio-psychological essence of the phenomenon of migration is revealed, the leading aspects of migration motives of behavior are outlined, the problem of migration in globalization processes of the world and the problem of social identification of the migrant are outlined.The aim of the article is a theoretical and practical analysis of the psychology of the migrant's personality through the prism of socio-psychological research.Methods: analysis, synthesis of the provisions contained in the psychological literature on the development of modern nuclear family, comparison, generalization, interpretation and systematization of theoretical and empirical research.The study of the psychology of the migrant's personality requires attention to the leading psychological parameters, including motivation, needs, values, emotional states of the migrant, which are the basis of the mental health of the individual. At the theoretical level, the hypothesis that there is a direct positive relationship between the adaptability of the migrant in the new socio-cultural environment and indicators of personal mental health has been confirmed.Psychology has a significant contribution to make to key areas of work on migration. Most notably, the focus on trauma, counselling interventions in contexts of violence and loss, and integration and understanding shifting family relationships are all areas of work where there is, or could be, productive engagement across the disciplines. For this engagement to be meaningful, however, requires that psychology draws on the core debates emerging from the study of migration in its conceptualization and theorization of research on migration. In psychological discourse, migration is a tense process of entering a new socio-cultural environment, which may be accompanied by discomfort, anxiety, depression, different syndromes, chronic stress, problems not only mental but also domestic. In addition, the availability and accessibility of public and psychological services to make them inclusive, cultural and free remain a problem. The problem of adaptation of a migrant to new ethnocultural conditions is a serious problem, as it requires in-depth psychological analysis and correction.
