coping strategies are as follows: the search for 
emotional public support, that is, the search for 
sympathy and understanding; reduced activity in 
relation to other things and full concentration on 
sources  of  stress;  waiting  for  more  favorable 
conditions to solve the problem situation (Chen, 
Yang & Chiang, 2018). 
 
Stress  management  depends  not  only  on  the 
choice and application of a relevant strategy of 
behavior,  but  also  on  the  style of  coping  with 
stress, namely, an individual-specific stereotype 
(method,  algorithm)  of  actions  to  solve  a 
problem.  The  typical  manifestations  of  these 
styles  are  a  person’s  behavior  (Tavakolizadeh, 
Yazdi & Akbary, 2019). 
 
There are proactive and reactive styles of stress 
management. People with a proactive style seek 
to prevent stress from developing, while people 
with a reactive style take less preventive action 
and react impulsively to stress (Muntean et al., 
2019). 
 
Scientists  note  that  any  behavior  aimed  at 
overcoming  stress  begins  with  assessing  the 
environment, which can be significant, harmful, 
useful, life-threatening (Abdullahi et al., 2020).  
 
Preventive coping lies in preventing a stressor’s 
impact and includes avoiding stressful factors by 
regulating  living  conditions  and  activities, 
optimizing the level of situational requirements, 
and developing personal resources to overcome 
stress (Chen, Yang & Chiang, 2018). 
 
At  the  same  time,  some  experts  suggest  that 
overcoming  stress  can  be  considered  from  the 
standpoint  of  operational  and  preventive 
consequences for the situation. Operational stress 
management is an attempt to eliminate or reduce 
the response to a stressor (Shiozawa et al., 2019). 
 
Conclusions 
 
Therefore, the analysis of the scientific literature 
on  the  research  topic  and  the  questionnaire 
results showed that  the  process of  overcoming 
stress  is  a  logical  change  in  the  stages  of 
psychological activity from assessing a specific 
stressful  situation  and  personal  resources  to 
selecting and implementing a relevant strategy, 
behavior  styles  in  conditions  of  stress 
development.
