Purpose. To systematize and generalize traditional scientific ideas about the phenomenon of «psychological stability».
Methods. Complex-combined method (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction).
Findings. A set of key characteristics of psychological stability, reflecting both personal and professional aspects, is defined. General and specific factors that determine the development of psychological stability under conditions of increased psychophysiological stress are identified. Mechanisms that contribute to the development of psychological stability as a factor that contributes to effective coping with stress are analyzed, and key aspects of personal adaptive potential are considered. It is shown that the formation of psychological stability can be considered both as a result of the development of innate properties of the nervous system and as a consequence of organized psychological training. A definition of psychological stability is formulated, reflecting its role in effective coping with stress and maintaining working capacity.
Application field of research. The results can be used in conducting applied research in the field of improving the efficiency of professional training of specialists in hazardous professions, as well as in the educational process when writing methodological materials, lectures, teaching aids, etc.
