Abstract
Aim. To describe the features of coping with stress among employees of the penal enforcement system who have different levels of resilience.
Methodology. The study involved 60 employees of the Federal State Institution "Correctional Colony No. 20" of the Main Directorate of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The following methods were used: psychodiagnostic methods (the questionnaire "Methods of coping behavior" by R. Lazarus in the adaptation of T. L. Kryukova and the test of resilience by S. Muddy in the adaptation of D. A. Leontiev), methods of statistical data processing (Mann-Whitney U-test).
Results. It is proved that penitentiary system employees with high resilience are more likely to use self-control, acceptance of responsibility and less likely to seek social support when faced with stress than employees with low resilience.
Research implications. The obtained research results can be used by practical psychologists in the course of supporting the process of adaptation and work activities of employees of the penal correction system.
