Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war became one of the greatest trials for Ukrainians, who found themselves under a real threat of destruction. In these conditions, the issue of psychological health and general vitality is particularly acute. The purpose of the article was to clarify the features of emotional intelligence and self-actualization of the individual in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014 2023. For this purpose, the following tasks were performed: identifying the level of emotional intelligence of the respondents; determining the level of self-actualization of respondents; comparison of results by gender; formation and description of groups of respondents according to the characteristics of emotional intelligence and selfactualization. The total sample consisted of 200 students (100 men and 100 women) who are in Ukraine and study remotely. The methodology of the empirical research included such statistical calculations as Student's t-test and cluster analysis. The conducted research revealed the levels of expression of the parameters characterizing the emotional intelligence and features of selfactualization of the respondents as representatives of the entire Ukrainian society. No fundamental gender difference was found, instead, the total number of respondents can be divided into three main groups.
