This research featured theoretical and practical approaches to resistance. Resistance to adversities is an important personality trait because it determines the strategy of behavior in various situations. Personal resilience requires a multidimensional assessment of personality traits, age profile, and solution strategies. The research objective was to identify and compare the trends in resistance in three age groups: teenagers, high school students, and university students. The authors developed a diagnostic complex to determine its component structure. The article describes behavioral patterns, socio-psychological adaptation, personal value orientations, life-meaning attitudes, and manifestations of subjectivity. The authors plan to design a program for the development of resistance in academic environment.
