Abstract

The study presents the psychological factors of subjective assessment of the impact of war. The impact of socio-demographic factors, i.e., age, gender, family status, and current location of the respondent on the subjective assessment of the impact of the war, was also investigated. The following questionnaires were used to study personal traits: the Freiburg Personality Inventory, The Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and the Tolerance-intolerance of Ambiguity New Questionnaire. There is a relationship between personal traits and a subjective assessment of the impact of war. Respondents who communicate or communicated only in Russian were more affected by the war, while those who communicated in Russian and Ukrainian were less affected. Unmarried respondents were less affected by the war, and married ones the most. In general, the study showed that people with different psychological and socio-demographic characteristics have significant differences in their subjective assessment of the impact of war.
