The article examines the issue of studying the resilience of people who, as a result of a full-scale invasion, were forced to leave their homes to escape the war. Vitality refers to a special class of personal and individual characteristics of a person, which can rightfully be considered related to the spiritual, value and moral characteristics of an individual. They define such orientations and personal qualities of a person as understanding the meaning of life, integrity, presence of social interest, motivation to achieve set goals, adherence to the principles of faith, optimism, love and self-sacrifice.
The phenomenon of vitality includes the emotionally saturated concept of the word "life" and the psychologically relevant property "sustainability". Resilience as a quality is a kind of base that helps to process stressful influences and transform negative impressions into new opportunities, which is especially necessary for people who were forced to leave their homes and move due to the war to other regions or even abroad. Immigrants are a category of the population of Ukraine that needs psychological help and support like no other. And the formation of resilience in them will contribute to their quick adaptation to new living conditions, organization of leisure time, expansion of the circle of acquaintances and self-realization.
The study shows the psychological features of resilience in female immigrants and male immigrants. Differences in the strategy of choosing behavioral patterns in difficult life conditions are demonstrated. The results of the study of meaningful life orientations of the resettled people are also given, and the differences in their choice of coping strategies, as mechanisms of manifesting the vitality of the individual in extremely difficult situations, are shown.
