The aim is to study the functional status of students of Tuvan State University with different strategies of behavior in conflict situations. Methods. The study involved 208 students of Tuvan nationality. The following methods were used: diagnostics of personality behavior strategy in conflict interaction according to K. Thomas, simple visual-motor reaction, choice behavior, tapping test, "Kraepelin's table". Results. The prevailing type of behavior strategy in conflict among students is the adaptation strategy - it is chosen by 25.6% of the respondents, while a rather large part falls on the strategies of compromise (23.2%) and cooperation (22.0%), the minimum number of students chose an avoidance strategy (12.2%). Evaluation of the average time value of simple visual-motor reaction indicates that the majority (from 64.3 to 66.7%) of students who choose the strategies of avoidance, cooperation and compromise have this indicator below the norm. Among individuals whose reaction time falls within the normal range, the chosen strategies are rivalry (53.8%) and device (47.1%). Inertia of nervous processes was revealed in the students of avoidance group, according to the results of a complex sensorimotor choice behavior. Among Tuvan students, individuals with intermediate and degressive types of working capacity prevail. Conclusion. In general, all Tuvan students are characterized by a weak and medium-weak type of nervous system, a "slightly reduced" functional state of the central nervous system. According to the study results: a group with effective behavioral strategies, characterized by inertia, imbalance and instability of nervous processes according to simple visual-motor reaction, intensity to differentiative inhibition in complex choice behavior and the predominance of a strong type of nervous system; a group with a neutral behavior strategy, characterized by a low speed of sensorimotor reaction, low stability and imbalance of nervous processes, a "slightly reduced" functional state of the central nervous system in terms of the functional level of the system, the stability of the reaction and the level of functionality, steady attention and high mental performance, and a group with ineffective strategies, which is characterized by a higher speed of sensorimotor reactions, stability and balance of excitation and inhibition, intermediate and downstream types of mental capacity.
