The author studied the intergroup adaptation (IA) of the employees of six Russian enterprises with different status (140 people) and carried out the qualitative and quantitative comparison of the administrative situations according to D. Snowden and the contribution of psychological mechanisms of intergroup adaptation into their solution.

The subject of the study is the interconnection between the structure of IA psychological mechanisms and the type of management situations of Cynefin platform in the organizations. As a hypotheses the author offers a supposition that IA psychological mechanisms of the employees with different status in the organization - intergroup disadaptation, organizational identification, joint activity of groups, - have different impact on the development of the organization, though they are combined into one complex of multilevel psychological mechanisms. Their impact is assessed on different criteria: adaptive, organizational, and motivational.

After leaving the orphanage many graduates face a lot of difficulties and they are due to the conditions of upbringing outside the family. That is the reason why it is necessary to study the life quality of a child in the orphanage and to develop the strategies for its improvement.

The problem of prophylaxis and solving the problems of social orphanhood is acute in our country because there are lots of children raised at orphanages. Most of them are adolescents and senior schoolchildren, children from families having many children, physically unattractive children, children of a different ethnic status, which is not the major one in the place they live. Such situation makes children’s adoption difficult and they keep living at the orphanages. The monitoring was held by various departments, and their results show that the graduates from the institutions of social, psychological and pedagogical assistance often get into difficult life situations. The analysis of the work of institutions for orphans and children left without parental care shows that the system of education in these institutions poorly prepares them for an independent life, and that the graduates experience major difficulties in the process of adaptation to the environment. It is important to emphasize that graduating from the organization for orphans the majority of children come across lots of difficulties of living on their own. They appear to be not capable of living independently. Such type of personality is usually developed by the orphanage system itself. Brief description of an orphanage graduate’s social portrait leads to the conclusion that the category of children entering these organizations should develop a large amount of socialization in a short period of time. Earned value of social skills will allow them to be ready for an independent life: to build their life themselves, to use their potentials, to implement life plans without counting on the adults support. The research results show that the transition from the orphanage to the independent life is complicated and difficult in all countries both for the graduates themselves and for the people around them. These difficulties are caused by a combination of factors. Among them first of all are: lack of readiness for independent life, inability to control their free independent life, absence of people under whose supervision they had been, inability for quick adaptation to loneliness, difficulties with getting a job and education, loss of relations with relatives. The enumeration of these factors could be continued, but the main problem remains unsolved, i.e. how to help the graduates to adapt to an independent life and socialize in a new society.

Personal life space development is a complicated psychological problem and there is no common view at it. The author reveals the main difficulties of life space development through past, presence and future. It is shown that at different age periods the consciousness of personal life space becomes more complicated. This difficulty is caused by an insufficiently developed ability of a child to analyze his Self, by his underdeveloped reflexive Self, and incompleteness of his awareness of how difficult it is to master the space in whole but not as separated age periods. A number of researches enabled to follow the peculiar features of the development of a reflexive Self, including present, past and future, and the ability to look at oneself as a different person, not the one who existed the day before. Comprehension and development of personal life space is a special phenomenon, which helps adolescents to imagine themselves in the future.

This article raises the problem of providing emotional safety of educational environment. This type of environment is considered to be helpful for a person to feel genuine and positive or neutral emotions (depending on the situation) and to minimize the effect of genuine negative emotions. Genuine emotions appear on physiological level and change biochemical structure of organism environment. We distinguish two components of emotional safety: feeling negative emotions and feeling positive emotions.

Feeling genuine positive emotions can reduce the harm of the negative ones; it lays the foundation of mental and physical health, and contributes to the prevention of psychosomatic problems.
