Abstract

This article is devoted to the description of the results of the adaptation of the J. Amirkhan methodology «Indicator of coping behavior», aimed at determining the level of manifestation of three basic coping strategies of the personality, including the strategies of «problem coping», «social support» and «avoidance». A theoretical and methodological analysis of the concept of «coping» was carried out, the main approaches to its understanding and manifestation. A detailed description of the process of adapting the psychodiagnostic methodology for studying the coping strategies of the personality was presented, including the features of the double translation procedure, verification of the psychometric properties of the Ukrainian-language questionnaire proposed by us, the study of internal consistency, as well as verification of the retest reliability of the psychodiagnostic toolkit. Based on the data obtained, we proved the reliability and validity of the psychodiagnostic methodology for studying the coping strategies of the personality by J. Amirkhan «Indicator of coping behavior». In particular, it was determined that the reliability and validity indicators correspond to the psychometric and psychodiagnostic criteria for questionnaires of this type, which indicates to us the possibility of using this method in the study of basic coping strategies according to J. Amirkhan. Statistical processing was carried out according to the Cronbach's alpha criteria and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The results of the theoretical analysis of coping strategies as a psychological phenomenon indicate a significant need to adapt such psychodiagnostic tools. Taking into account the changing conditions of today, accompanied by the constant effect of war stress, a sense of uncertainty, and the need to constantly overcome difficult life situations, there is an urgent need to develop and adapt methods for studying the psychological phenomenon of coping, coping strategies that determine the characteristics of a person's reaction to stress at a conscious level. The results of the adaptation of J. Amirkhan's methodology «The coping strategy indicator» indicate its compliance with the basic requirements for psychometric tests and show the feasibility of using such psychodiagnostic tools.
