Abstract

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the problematic of the peculiarities of personality coping strategies in psychological research. Family is an important external factor that influences the formation of a person's coping behavior in situations of shock. On the one hand, the child's coping behavior can be viewed as a result of negative influence from the parents, on the other hand, as a result of the mastering of coping behavior patterns demonstrating by the parents. It was determined that the adaptive behavior of students in difficult life situations predetermines the effectiveness of adaptation to new living conditions, directly affects academic performance, professional development and personal formation. An important practical task is to prepare student youth for the effective use of coping strategies in future professional activities, because coping is part of the structure of personal potential. It is precisely the purposeful formation of effective coping behavior in the learning process at HEI that should take into account the conditions of the student's upbringing (in complete and incomplete families). It has been empirically investigated that the structure of the family influences the choice of coping strategies of students in stressful situations. Child-parent relations affect the formation of a child's overcoming behavior system through the formation and development of such behavioral strategies and personality traits in him, which subsequently mediate their preference for certain coping strategies. The influence of the upbringing of both parents on the formation of coping behavior models in children is very significant. A significant role in the choice of coping strategies is played by the upbringing of a child in an incomplete family, somewhat less - for orphaned students.
