Abstract

The article describes the psychological features of psychological resilience at different stages of personality functioning. It is noted that resilience is a dynamic property of the personality, which indicates psychological stability, the ability of a person to successfully adapt, recover and “bend but not break” under the pressure of difficult life circumstances (stress, trauma, threats), maintaining psychological health and even growing through experience. It is emphasized that resilience is the result of a combination of genetics, psychological and physical health, as well as the environment. It is shown that in early childhood it is important for children to have quality care and learning opportunities, proper nutrition and family support to promote the positive development of cognitive, social and self-regulatory skills. Such children will usually show resilience in the face of adversity if their fundamental protective skills and relationships continue to function and develop. The following factors influencing the resilience of a young person have been identified: the level of assessment of one’s abilities; the communicative sphere of the person; the presence of realistic plans; the ability to defend one’s positions; the presence of life values; the presence of hopes for something; the ability to solve problems independently. The model of resilience of an adult person has been identified and its components have been identified: optimism; social contacts; self-projection; self-attitude; goals; meaning; a sense of commitment to a significant cause that gives courage, determination and vitality. The features of resilience manifestation among elderly people, as a concept of health, by increasing the resources available to the elderly, where the greatest positive impact is exerted by a favorable family environment, as well as the unique balance between losses associated with vulnerability and resource limitations and potential gains based on life wisdom, sufficient experience, relative autonomy, which can provide a specific context for the manifestation of resilience, are analyzed.
