The relationship of adaptability and the cognitive-behavioral qualities of the personality (on the example of Russian and Chinese first-year students)

Abstract

We studied the relationship of adaptability, tolerance attitudes, coping strategies and self-government operations in 93 Russian and 127 Chinese students of the first year of economic faculty of St. Petersburg state University and Peking University. In the group of Chinese respondents, a greater number of linkages of adaptation governance and operations (planning, self-monitoring, analysis of contradictions) and coping strategies (search for social support, membership in social contact, indirect action) was identified than in the group of the Russian respondents.
