Abstract. Introduction. Conflict resolution competence and psychological well-being are important for a psychologist but are often not formed by the time of training completion. This determined the purpose of the study, which is to identify the relationship between conflict resolution competence and the psychological well-being of future psychologists, because these relationships are essential for the process of psychological and pedagogical support for students while receiving psychological education. The correlation analysis findings are provided, taking into account the components of conflict resolution competence of psychology students (cognitive, emotional-personal, and reflexive-behavioral).
Materials and Methods. The study sample included 360 students in psychological training from three universities in the Russian Federation. 7 psychodiagnostic techniques were used, 6 of which were aimed at assessing conflict resolution competence: a technique for assessing the semantic index of negative perception of conflicts by A.I. Tashcheva, “Diagnostics of personal creativity” by E.E. Tunik, “Personal aggressiveness and conflicts” by E.P. Ilyina and P.A. Kovaleva, V.V. Boyko’s method for diagnosing interference in establishing emotional contacts, A.V. Karpov’s method for assessing personality reflectivity, and Thomas-Kilmann’s “Strategies of Behavior in Conflict” test. The seventh technique was aimed at assessing psychological well-being (Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being).
Results. Correlation analysis showed a significant number of relationships both between the index of psychological well-being and indicators of conflict resolution competence of future psychologists, and between conflict resolution competence and specific indicators of Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being, among which personal autonomy turned out to be the correlation “core”.
Discussion and Conclusion. Numerous relationships between the psychological well-being of psychology students and their conflict resolution competence allow us to talk about various possibilities for experimental work with these phenomena, which can be implemented in developmental programs.
