Hardiness of the student's personality and its formation in physical education

Introduction and purpose of the study. In the context of the long-term war unleashed against Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the question of people's ability to withstand the difficulties of life is becoming more and more relevant. More and more experts are raising the question of the need to increase the level of resilience of the individual among citizens. The purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis about the positive impact of physical education classes according to the author's program on the components of hardiness in students. The null hypothesis was the assumption that the shift between the indicators of the level of development of the components of hardiness in students of the experimental and control groups in the initial and final sections does not significantly differ from zero. An alternative statistical hypothesis was the assumption that the shift between the indicators of the components of hardiness in students of the experimental and control groups in the initial and final sections differs significantly from zero. Material and methods. The study involved 40 students of the Scientific Research Institute "DIIT" of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology. Psychological diagnostics of resilience was carried out using the test of resilience by S. Maddy in the adaptation of D. O. Leontiev and O. I. Rasskazova. To statistically test the hypotheses put forward, the Student 's t- test for dependent samples was used. Results. A positive impact of physical education classes according to the author's program on such components of students' hardiness as "commitment", "control", "challenge" and the general level of resilience has been established. Conclusions. Students are characterized by an average level of development of both hardiness in general and its components such as "commitment", "control", "challenge".
