To analyze the connection between the dominant coping strategy of the individual and the way of conflict regulation.Objectives. Explore the dominant coping strategies of respondents and the features of response and conflict resolution; reveal the existence of a connection between dominant coping strategies and methods of conflict management.Methodology The research methodology is based on the principles of consciousness and activity, the principle of determinism, the principle of the activity of the subject, the cultural and historical concept of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as on personality-oriented approaches to the study of individual strategies, styles and methods of coping behavior and conflict resolution of the individual.Results. A direct correlation was found between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Confrontation" and the method of conflict regulation "Competition" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Confrontation" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Distancing" and the method of conflict regulation "Avoidance" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Distance" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Search for social support" and such methods of conflict regulation as "Cooperation" and "Compromise".

Direct weak correlation was found between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Positive reassessment" and the method of conflict regulation "Adaptation".Conclusion.
