Study of the stress level and coping-strategies in normative age crisis

The article deals with the results of studying the interrelation between stress level, coping-strategies, personality traits and features of emotional intelligence in individuals with normative life crisis. It was established that there are differences in stress rates and choice of emotional coping in the test groups with different ego identity status (autonomous, diffusive, predetermined). We observed the highest level of the general stress in the group of individuals with diffusive status of ego identity. Correlation analysis indicates an interrelation between the diffusive status of ego identity and emotional coping in the first place and general level of stress in the second place. The regression model of stress development presents the dependence of this rate on the ego identity status and the choice of coping direction.
