Abstract
The article presents the study of personality traits of psychological wellbeing of students in the 2022/23 academic year (during Russia’s Special Military operation). The study has revealed that only a small part of the students in the sampling had a high level of psychological wellbeing, and almost a third of them had a low level of psychological wellbeing. The study has found significant differences among the students with various subjective indices of psychological wellbeing. Correlations between integral indices of psychological wellbeing and students’ personality traits have been found. The following predictors of psychological wellbeing have been revealed: emotional instability, external locus of control, avoidance coping strategy (they predict the decrease of psychological wellbeing), and extraversion, self-control, expressiveness, seeking social support coping strategy (they predict the increase of psychological wellbeing).
