Abstract
The aim of the article was to study the interrelationships between the components of psychological well-being and the protective mechanisms of personality. Methods. To study the psychological well-being of the sample subjects, we used the Riff Scale of Psychological Well-Being, RPWB (adaptation by T.D. Shevelenkov, T.P. Fesenko), and for the study of protective mechanisms – the Questionnaire "Life Style Index" (Life Style Index, LSI) (R. Plutchik, H. Kellerman, H. Conte) in L.I. Wasserman's adaptation. Correlation analysis (according to Spearman) was used to identify the connections between the studied parameters. Results. The analysis of the results showed the presence of stable relationships between the components of psychological well-being and psychological defenses of the individual. Conclusions. A high level of psychological well-being is interconnected with the protective mechanisms of denial, projection and substitution. Indicators on the "denial" scale of the LSI methodology positively correlate with all components of psychological well-being, while indicators of the relationship of the components of well-being with all other protective mechanisms have inverse values.
