Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the features of socio-psychological adaptation of personality in the situation of ethnic migration. The emphasis is placed on the categories of voluntary ethnic migrants who are in the process of social and psychological adaptation to the conditions of the Ukrainian metropolis. The external and internal factors of social and psychological adaptation, influence of age of ethnic migrants from Kazakhstan on the success of the adaptation process are analysed. The diffculties encountered during social and psychological adaptation to the new society are empirically determined, and the parameters that influence the success of the interaction of different cultures in society. According to the results of the correlation analysis of the obtained data, it was found that voluntary ethnic migrants from Kazakhstan aged 18 to 35 years deciding to live, study and work in Ukraine consciously and independently, have acceptable and even high potential level of self-realization. It is proved that their ethnic identity is absolutely unrelated to the self-actualization tendencies of the person and its adaptability. However, ethnic identity significantly affects the socio-psychological adaptation of ethnic migrants, and sometimes even determines its success. The version of the program of comprehensive support and psychological support of ethnic migrants in the process of their social and psychological adaptation is proposed.
