The psychological state of a person with a crisis profile

Aim. To reveal the features of the critical state of a person with a crisis profile.
Methodology. TIn the course of conducting the empirical research, the following methods were used: general theoretical and empirical methods, including the “Experiencing a Psychological Crisis by a Person” questionnaire by S.V. Dukhnovsky, the methodology “Identifying frustration state” by V. V. Boyko, the stress level test by Y. V. Scherbatykh, and the intra-personal conflict level test by A. I. Shipilov. Mathematical methods of statistical processing of information were used, including methods of descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U-criterion to identify significant differences.
Results. As a result of the study, data were obtained on the severity of critical conditions in the research subjects. Based on the results obtained using the questionnaire “Experiencing a Psychological Crisis by a Person” (S. V. Dukhnovsky), two empirical groups were identified: subjects with a pronounced crisis profile and subjects with a weakly pronounced crisis profile. The subjects with a pronounced crisis profile revealed a state of emotional imbalance, a pessimistic and demobilization reaction, a state of disorganization and a negative self-image. It was established that in the group of subjects with high rates of crisis profile, the levels of stress and frustration were more pronounced. Indicators of intrapersonal conflict in both empirical groups are almost at the same level, the differences are not significant.
Research implications. The results obtained in the study expand the understanding of the mental state of an individual and can be used in individual and group counseling work with individuals with a crisis profile. The results of the empirical study can also be used as a basis for developing a program to remove a subject from a psychological crisis, taking into account the severity of his crisis state.
