Abstract

У статті представлено теоретичний та емпіричний аналіз переживання військовослужбовцями їхніх стані та поведінкових реакцій, як наслідку тривалою травматичної ситуації. Доведено, що найбільш поширеним типом фрустраційної поведінки військовослужбовців є екстрапунітивні реакції з фіксацією на самозахисті, а найменше поширеним є тип екстрапунітивної реакції з фіксацією на задоволенні. Виявлено, що у військовослужбовців низький рівень соціальної фрустрації, вони задоволені своїм станом у соціально заданих ієрархіях, а такі сфери життєдіяльності особистості, як події у державі та суспільстві, матеріальне становище та сфера послуг і побутового обслуговування спричиняють високий ризик для виникнення стану фрустрації.Ключові слова: військовослужбовці, стрес, психологічний стан, пост-травматичний стресовий розлад, психотравмуюча ситуація, фрустрація.
