Abstract

The problem of tolerance to uncertainty and its resources in maintaining subjective well-being in conditions of uncertainty has been analysed. Uncertainty is considered as a significant phenomenon in various spheres of life and a special background of social life. Focusing on it highlights the problem of certain aspects in achieving subjective well-being. The understanding of the problem of uncertainty and the question of its interpretation as fundamentally positive, negative and both has been studied. Tolerance to uncertainty is dealt with as one of the key categories in this context. A number of approaches to the understanding of tolerance to uncertainty have been analysed as a multi-faceted phenomenon that includes a variety of not only uncertainties, but also responses to them and as a personality's abilities and as its traits. It is noted that the feeling of subjective well-being or unhappiness is largely determined by the individual's subjective interpretation (cognitive and emotional-evaluative) of the situations of uncertainty which he/she deals with. On the way a person interprets uncertainty - as a threat or an opportunity for his/her own realisation, and on the way he/she experiences it and reacts to it, his/her achievement of subjective well-being depends. It is shown that in conditions of uncertainty, instability, and unpredictability, the very psychological resources of the individual appear as a kind of transformation means of such conditions perception and play a key role in mastering them and maintaining subjective well-being. Tolerance to uncertainty is one of such psychological resources that meet the given conditions. Its essence lies in the cognitive process of comprehension of uncertainty and its evaluation as a multiplicity of possibilities and choices, a positive or neutral attitude towards it which enables a proactive response of the individual. The study of features of tolerance to uncertainty as a psychological resource of the subjective well-being of young people and its maintenance will become the perspective of our further research.
