analysis of the socio-psychological features of the adaptation of persons with disabilities to the existing situation; There are four main types of socio-psychological adaptation:
1) active-positive – a person with a disability is characterized by a desire to find an independent way out of the current situation, accompanied by favorable socio-psychological characteristics of the person (a sufficiently high level of self-esteem, satisfaction with life, etc.); an extremely small category of persons with disabilities;
2) active-negative – a person with a disability does not deny the desire to independently change his situation, but does not have practical consequences due to psychological discomfort, general dissatisfaction with life; it is typical for persons with middle-aged disabilities;
3) passive-positive – with an objectively unsatisfactory socio-economic situation and low self-esteem, leads to relative satisfaction with the existing situation and, as a result, a lack of desire to actively change it for the better; it is typical for people of older age groups;
4) passive-negative – dissatisfaction with one’s position (along with the lack of desire to improve it independently) is accompanied by low self-esteem, psychological discomfort, wary attitude towards others, anxiety, expectation of catastrophic consequences even from domestic troubles and other negative socio-psychological features.
