The dissertation is devoted to the study of the coping behavior genesis in the person's living space, the deployment of which is determined by the constellation of structural and functional components and indicators, age and social factors and features. The concept of coping behavior in the person's living space has been proposed. It has been established that the psychogenesis of coping behavior is a dynamic synthesis of affective, cognitive, social and aging changes that ensure that one capture features of reality throughout the life course. The peculiarities of the person's living space representation have been explored as a subjective (phenomenological and activity) aspect of the life world sphere that is the most significant; namely it is closely related to values, interests, sympathies and towards which the person acts as the subject of self-creation. Through the prism of the genetic and psychological approach, the spatial and temporal parameters of world perception have been determined as a way of world mastering, which being in an unbalanced state, requires adjusting and coordinating in order to develop constructive coping behavior strategies. On the basis of the studied components of living space the difficult life situations have been extracted. The comparisons of empirical correspondent of the genesis of coping behavior (the adolescence period, youth, middle age, and late adulthood) have been put into practice. It has been proven that the intensity and quality of coping strategies usage by teenagers and youth is quite similar, but just youth, not teenage, is a sensational period for the formation of the coping behavior repertoire. The conceptualization of the life-strategies as the individualization of the subject in the microstructure of the family's living space has been performed. It has been established that intensive corporeal self-presentation acts as an important component of the living space and is able to determine the repertoire of coping strategies. The content and functional filling of coping process, which is considered as development from the instinct of overcoming to the usage of cognitively refine and reflexed mechanisms of conscious psychological protection has been studied. It has been proven that the functional content of coping contains a wide and varied symbiosis of styles, tactics and strategies that provide effective and successful coping behavior. Coping strategies as a synthesis of affective, cognitive and behavioral strategies have been used to reduce or neutralize stress factors in response to a threat, and to overcome the whole complex of challenges in one's living space. It has been postulated that coping behavior as a process of overcoming the need is the determining factor that allows a person to apply a variety of coping and behavioral tactics and strategies, primarily because of amplification as continuous self-determination and self-enhancement. Social-psychological training has been prepared, tested and implemented on the basis of the analysis of theoretical and methodological concepts of coping behavior development. It has been targeted at the development of adaptive and constructive strategies of coping behavior. As a result of the training, the participants have learned how to manage mental and life space better, use reflection more widely, acquire skills of cope-thinking in particular skills of self-correction of mental states.
