PERSONAL RESOURCES IN COPING WITH DIFFICULT LIFE SITUATIONS

Bobyleva T. G.

This article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at identifying the relationship between the dynamics of personal resources, measured using the "Losses and Gains of Personal Resources" test, and the level of personal resilience. The results of the correlation analysis confirmed the presence of a significant positive relationship between the "Resource Gains" indicator and the overall level of resilience, as well as its components (involvement, control, and risk acceptance). The "Losses of Resources" indicator demonstrates a significant negative relationship with resilience. It is concluded that resilience is a key factor contributing not only to the preservation but also to the increase of personal resources in difficult life situations.
