Strategies of Socio-Psychological Adaptation as Predictors of Subjective Well-Being of the Unemployed Person
The article presents the results of a theoretical study of parameters of socio-psychological adaptation as predictors of subjective well-being of the individual with different employment situations. It is shown that subjective well-being of a person is determined, in particular, by his/her desire for dominance in relationships, adequate integration of the individual in society, external control, comfortable emotional state, the desire to avoid solving problems and taking responsibility by escaping reality. The purpose of the study presented in the article is to analyze adaptive predictors of subjective well-being of the individual with different employment situations. It is assumed that in the predication of components of subjective well-being of representatives of employed and unemployed parts of the population, there are similarities related to self-ceonception and emotional stability, and differences, determined by different levels of adaptability and an internal locus of control. An empirical study was carried out on a sample of temporarily unemployed people, registered in the Engels Employment Center, and people having a permanent job (N = 362, n = 196 – temporarily unemployed, n = 166 – having a permanent job (aged 19-63) with the use of the following diagnostic instruments: C. Ryff’s scale (adapted by L. V. Zhukovskaya and E. G. Troshikhina), E. Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale (adapted by D. A. Leontiev and E. N. Osin), S. Lyubomirsky’s Subjective Happiness Scale (adapted by D. A. Leontiev), Rogers-Diamond Social and Psychological Adaptation diagnostic technique (modified by A. K. Osnitsky), demographic indicators. It was established that productive and positive tendencies of the process of socio-psychological adaptation are expressed in independence and desire to solve pressing problems. The author concluded that flexibility of adaptive processes of the individual’s life can influence the experience of subjective well-being or ill-being.
