THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAREER ADAPTABILITY OF FUTURE PSYCHOLOGISTS

Abstract

The article provides a theoretical substantiation of the role of psychological resilience in the development of career adaptability among future psychologists under martial law. The relevance of the study is determined by the transformation of psychologists’ professional activity and the increasing demands on their psychological stability, readiness for professional changes, and the development of an individual career trajectory under conditions of prolonged social instability and uncertainty. Contemporary scientific approaches to the definition of psychological resilience and career adaptability are summarized, and their psychological content is analysed in relation to the professional training of future psychologists. It has been established that psychological resilience is an internal psychological resource for the development of career adaptability and contributes to maintaining professional stability, constructive responses to professional challenges, career decision-making, mastering new professional roles, and designing an individual career trajectory. Cognitive-evaluative, emotional-regulatory, regulatoryvolitional, and motivational-value psychological mechanisms that determine the development of career adaptability among future psychologists in the process of professional training are identified. The preventive, adaptive, and developmental functions of psychological resilience are revealed. Their psychological content includes maintaining professional stability, adapting to transformations in the professional environment, professional self-development, designing an individual career trajectory, and readiness for professional changes under conditions of uncertainty. The findings provide a theoretical basis for further empirical research on psychological resilience as a psychological resource for the development of career adaptability among future psychologists.
