Character harmonisation in adolescence: psychological profiles, coping strategies and implications for well-being

The article highlights the topical issue of character harmonisation in adolescence, which is an important aspect of holistic personality development and social adaptation. Character harmonisation is seen as a complex integration process that combines personal traits, emotional reactions and behavioural patterns. At the same time, character harmonisation remains relatively poorly researched, which emphasises the relevance of studying its psychological mechanisms. The purpose of the study was to determine the individual psychological characteristics of young men with different levels of character harmonisation. The tasks included assessing the level of character harmonisation using the HCA (Harmony Character Assessment) methodology, analysing the relationship between character harmonisation and basic personality traits, and studying differences in coping strategies between young men with high and low levels of character harmonisation. The empirical study was conducted among students (N = 60) aged 18-25 years. The following methods were used: theoretical and methodological analysis, psychodiagnostic techniques, and mathematical and statistical approaches. The psychodiagnostic complex included the HCA technique and the PTQ (Personality Traits Questionnaire). All stages of the study complied with ethical standards, including the principles of voluntariness, confidentiality and legal protection of research subjects, taking into account the norms of bioethics. The findings allowed us to reveal the psychological mechanisms of character harmonisation, identify the relationship between the level of harmonisation and key personality characteristics, and determine the role of coping strategies in this process. The study is important for improving the system of psychological support for young people aimed at developing a harmonious personality, its adaptation to social conditions and improving psychological well-being.
