Abstract

The article presents the results of an empirical study on the impact of cognitive resilience on the readiness of educational process participants to counteract environmental and epidemic threats. It is noted that the cognitive component, alongside motivational, emotional, operational, and dispositional components, is a key structural element of the psychological readiness of educational process participants to face such threats. The study determines that cognitive resilience ensures a rational perception of crisis events, the capacity for critical thinking, and the formation of well-founded decisions in situations of high uncertainty. Findings indicate that the majority of respondents exhibit average levels of cognitive resilience, with critical thinking identified as the leading worldview virtue among students. It was established that age is a significant factor in the development of a coherent, meaningful attitude toward the world and worldview beliefs such as idealism, pessimism, and adherence to principles. Conversely, gender, marital and financial status, along with the level of English language proficiency, are influential factors in the formation of negative beliefs about the world and oneself. The study identifies individuals of non-binary gender, those without a partner, and those with extreme financial indicators as the most vulnerable to post-traumatic symptoms. Consequently, students’ negative perceptions of the world are linked to the mastery of specific knowledge, namely low English proficiency. Extremely negative beliefs tend to shift the focus of information perception toward exclusively visual forms (video content). Furthermore, the impact of cognitive resilience on protective habits was determined. Students with high worldview plasticity tend to show curiosity regarding the experience of others. Those characterized by high levels of criticality more frequently advocate to relatives and study safety instructions. Idealists are interested in the experiences of their social circle, while pessimists are inclined to consume entertainment media content, such as disaster films.
