Abstract

The materials of this article are devoted to the strategy of choosing protective mechanisms by a person in accordance with the peculiarities of the manifestation of such personal characteristics as neuroticism, psychoticism, internal conflict, self-attitude. Based on the analysis of the mechanisms of psychological protection used by students of the technical university and their characteristic manifestations of personal characteristics, the prevailing strategies for using protective mechanisms are identified. Based on the analysis of the obtained data it was established that the psyche of each person uses several psychological defense mechanisms, and some mechanisms of psychological protection inherent in many people, and some occur less frequently, while the number of psychological defense mechanisms and the percentage of their use depends on the temperament, inner conflict and self-blame. In the study, it was found that all respondents are characterized by neuroticism. It was found that neurotics use MPZ to the fullest extent possible. Respondents with psychoticism use them less. All respondents use the defense mechanism "intellectualization", which refers to more mature defense mechanisms. This study revealed a low level of" internal conflict "and"self-blame". The results obtained allow us to expand the scope of psychological education and prevention with young people in the context of awareness and understanding of "personal" resources.
