The current threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the transition to distance (online) education in all educational institutions of the country, including universities. A sudden forced change in the form and structure of education has psychological consequences for all the participants in the educational process. The objective of the study presented was to examine the severity of anxiety, career maladjustment, stress levels, and coping strategies among university teachers during the transition to distance (online) education. The sample comprised 169 individual participants (95 women, 74 men) aged 25 to 70 years: 119 university teachers of the Rostov region (mean age = 45 years) and 40 sales specialists as the control group (mean age = 35 years). The study was conducted online from 04.24.2020 to 06.15.2020. The results indicate a general tendency to increasing stress levels and severity of career maladjustment. university teachers have a higher level of professional motivation and less often complain of feeling unwell and of a decrease in cognitive functions. Less adaptive in terms of stable personality parameters respondents are more likely to experience stress and more prone to manifest unmotivated anxiety. They demonstrate a higher level of career maladjustment and subjective discomfort when using the Internet. The preferred coping strategy is to openly complain about work or general negative feelings. Changes in the dynamic personality characteristics of university teachers during distance education are determined by their stable personality characteristics rather than by their age, which is often mentioned as the main factor for adaptation difficulties.

“…К факторам, негативно влияющим на процессы личностно-профессионального развития молодежи в целом и студентов, в частности, в последнее время стали добавлять новые источники формирования деструктивного поведения: изменения режима жизнедеятельности, вызванного пандемией. Именно это в последние 2-3 года, по мнению исследователей, стало оказывать сильное влияние на появление новых видов деструктивного поведения у обучающихся (аутодеструктивная и аутоагрессивная формы поведения) [2,[16][17][18]. Еще один деструктивный фактор -распространение экстремистской идеологии, являющейся не только следствием нестабильной социально-политической ситуации в стране, но и результатом ограниченной социальной адаптации молодежи, что требует организации своевременной профилактической работы [19,20].…”

Aim. To identify personal characteristics determining the subject’s destructive behavior.Material and methods. Students from Stavropol State Medical University and North-Caucasus Federal University (n=609) took part in the study. The following diagnostic methods were used: a tendency to abnormal behavior (A. N. Orel), a meaning-life orientation test (D. A. Leontyev), a self-attitude test (S. R. Panteleev), a self-organization of activity questionnaire (E. Yu. Mandrikova).Results. We established that the sample corresponds to the characteristics of age-psychological and socio-professional development. The greatest severity by type of deviant behavior was found among respondents who are prone to overcoming norms and rules, and among those who have a reduced tendency to control emotional reactions. The least pronounced were tendencies to delinquent and addictive behavior, the tendency to aggression and violence. The dominant trends in this context are students’ understanding of the emotional richness of their ives, and the average psychological portrait of the respondent reflects their focus on themselves when implementing life’s tasks. On average, students are open to change, accept and value themselves, focus on their own strengths when planning and implementing future activities. They are focused on the present, understand the need to define the goals in life and activity. The study of individual parameters of personal characteristics and the severity of destructive behavior types made it possible to describe models of the relationship between these phenomena.Conclusion. The study showed that the current situation in the development of society is accompanied by risk factors that cause states of emotional stress and maladaptation, which has a negative impact on mental health and behavior. Diagnosis of personal characteristics and the severity of destructive behavior types in students made it possible to describe models of the relationship between these phenomena through regression analysis. A reflexive analysis of the results obtained made it possible to reveal an invariant part of personal characteristics in models of destructive behavior and the presence of certain personal characteristics that can manifest themselves in the variable part of a model of destructive behavior.
