Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the psychological indicators of students, focusing on the characteristics of their tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty and subjective well-being. As part of the research's diagnostic phase, the current level of a wide range of psychological indicators was determined, which serve as the empirical foundation for the characteristics of tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty and subjective well-being in students. It was found that the most represented level, in percentage terms, of the distribution of the vast majority of psychological indicators relevant to the characteristics of their tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty and subjective well-being, is the average level. The content interpretation of the identified trends in the distribution of characteristics of tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty and subjective well-being among students was conducted taking into account the proportionate relationship between high and low levels of relevant psychological indicators, as well as overall across the sample. The obtained results generally provide grounds to speak of a balance between tolerant and intolerant attitudes toward uncertainty among the surveyed students, as uncertainty represents a serious adaptive challenge. This, in turn, activates the motivation of young people to maintain it at an acceptable level, especially in today's difficult conditions related to the war. Despite the societal uncertainty due to the war, students exhibit a certain level of anxiety about the future and may experience negative emotions when faced with uncertainty. However, they still demonstrate a sufficient ability to build their lives according to their beliefs, remain open to new experiences, find meaning in their efforts and life tasks, and experience a sense of purpose in their existence. Young people strive to achieve well-being, show self-confidence, and, despite difficulties, display optimism and enthusiasm. They see themselves as capable of finding and obtaining resources, despite the challenging situation in the country due to the war.
