Особенности переживания горя у украинского этноса

Abstract

According to the all-Russian population census, the Ukrainian ethnic group is the third largest in the territory of the Russian Federation, so the probability of seeking psychological help from Ukrainians is high, so it is relevant to study the features of experiencing grief in this ethnic group. It is necessary to start with a description of the psychological characteristics of Ukrainians. Among the inherent qualities of the key will be to introversion, cordocentesis, individualism and emotion. Funeral rituals of this ethnic group have their own specific focus on positive experiences, and as a result, avoiding negativity, due to the expressed fear of death. Based on the above, we can assume how the stages of grief will flow in the Ukrainian ethnic group: 1. at the stage of shock, due to the fact that Ukrainians are emotional, and their emotionality is directed inward, it is likely that this ethnic group will show inhibition and numbness. 2. the stage of denial can occur, due to the fact that the Ukrainian ethnic group is characterized by introversion and isolationism, in the form of mild disorders, as well as severe psychotic forms. 3. when working with Ukrainians at the stage of aggression, it is important to understand that this ethnic group is characterized by sensitivity, vulnerability and individualism, therefore, working with a person at this stage, it is necessary to give him a voice, thereby helping to show openly emotions. 4. Introversion of Ukrainians can contribute to the fact that at the stage of disorganization, Ukrainians can close themselves in themselves, but since they are sensitive, they need to be encouraged to openly Express emotions. 5. the stage of accepting death can occur on several levels: submission or understanding that with the death of a loved one, one's own life does not end. Thus, this work describes the individual psychological characteristics of the Ukrainian ethnic group, funeral traditions, and on the basis of these data, an assumption was made about how exactly the process of experiencing grief will take place among representatives of this ethnic group.
