Abstract
The article presents the results of the study of the components of self-actualization and adaptation potential as predictors of strategies of proactive coping behavior of an individual at the stage of self-realization. Based on psychodiagnostic data obtained from a sample of 80 people aged 21 to 55, regression analysis revealed a combination of personal traits that determine the choice of each coping strategy. The key predictor factors of proactive coping have been established: self-esteem, contact and the ability to achieve an optimal balance in the "internal - external support" system. The results can be used in the practice of psychological counseling and corrective and developmental work to strengthen coping resources of the individual when faced with life difficulties at the stage of self-realization. The main method of data collection is psychological testing, implemented using the following methodological complex: self-actualization test (E. Shostrom, adaptation of Yu. E. Gozman, M. V. Zayka, M. V. Kroz); loss and acquisition of personal resources (N. Vodopyanova, M. Shtein); proactive coping (L. Aspinval, R. Schwarzer and S. Taubert, adapted by E. Starchenkova). Statistical data processing method is the regression analysis. The results of the regression analysis proved the influence of self-actualization and adaptation potential on the proactive coping behavior of the individual at the stage of self-realization. The choice of each strategy is determined by predictors (from 2 to 6). The largest contribution belongs to the indicators of self-realization scales (9 out of 14). Value orientations, spontaneity, synergy, cognitive needs, and creativity remained beyond the influence of proactive coping. The relationships between active coping strategies and components of self-realization are contradictory and ambiguous (most of them - 14 out of 22 - are of the opposite nature). The explanation is largely determined by the features of collectivist culture, the values of which are shared by adult members of society. It was found that the adaptive potential has a connection only with regard to the preventive coping strategy. Self-esteem, sociability, and the ability to find the optimal balance in the "internal-external support" system should be considered key predictors of active coping at the stage of self-realization.
