Features of the formation of stress resistance in the student environment (results of psychological study)

   The paper deals with such concepts as «stress» and «stress resistance»; the main characteristics of the causes and consequences of stress in students are given; the necessity of forming stress resistance as the basis of students' personal resource is studied.
   The relevance of studying the problem lies in solving one of the main tasks of modern education, which consists in encouraging the effective educational process of students, their activity and independence.

   A high level of stress resistance is the psychological basis for the independence of young people. A necessary condition for the formation of a response to stress is the choice by students of their future profession. Many factors affect the successful training of young professionals, one of which is stress. Difficulties that arise in the educational process cause additional pressure, as a result of which stress develops. This gives rise to the need to study the ability of students to cope with stress factors, the level of which affects the quality of their educational activities.
   The purpose of this psychological study was to study the formation of stress tolerance in the student environment.

   The paper studies such characteristics as stressful sensations in behavioral, somatic, and emotional indicators (psychological stress scale); self-assessment of stress resistance; level of stress resistance; ways of «coping behavior» (coping mechanisms). In the work, a bibliometric analysis of the problem was carried out, an empirical study was carried out. Thanks to the experiment, it was proved that for students there is a need for socio-psychological training, which is aimed at increasing stress resistance, reducing stress and tension levels according to appropriate coping strategies. The methodological basis of the study was made up of approaches: a systematic, axiological approach, humanistically oriented. The research methods were theoretical analysis of scientific research; organizational methods; empirical methods: observation, psychodiagnostic methods.
