Patterns of the influence of female teachers’ psychological health on their social and psychological adaptation to global changes

Nataliia Pavlyk Аlina Parasiei-Hocher Denys Shpak

Ukrainian society is currently undergoing deep transformations and significant socio-economic and political changes, driven by globalisation, economic instability, war, and migration processes. For the teaching community – predominantly composed of women who combine multiple social roles (professional, family-related, and civic-communicative) – constructive adaptation to new global realities has become an inevitable challenge. The aim of this article was to present the results of an empirical study and identify the patterns of influence of female teachers’ psychological health on their socio-psychological adaptation to global changes. The study applied a combination of methods, including surveys, psychodiagnostic testing, and empirical data analysis using percentage distribution and correlation analysis. The findings indicated that 22.0% of female teachers are well adapted to current conditions, 26.4% showed above-average adaptation, while 24.5% experienced partial maladaptation, and 27.5% demonstrated marked socio-psychological maladaptation and required psychological support. Based on correlation analysis, it was concluded that psychological health determines the constructiveness of the personality’s adaptation process to new circumstances. Statistical analysis revealed a psychological regularity: the better the psychological health of a female teacher, the more capable she is of adapting to change. Conversely, the more neurotic, depressive, pessimistic, aggressive, or rigid the teacher is, the lower her adaptive capacity. The data confirmed that the psychological foundation for activating a teacher’s adaptive abilities lies in the integration of spiritual and moral qualities with volitional traits, cognitive flexibility, and vitality. The study supported the conclusion that psychological health defines a female teacher’s capacity for constructive self-realisation and socio- psychological adaptation
