Abstract
In the review, there have been considered the concepts of dependence of individuals' reactions to stressful conditions of extreme professional activity on variety of his/her individual properties. There have been analyzed the data pointing at expedience of a systemic approach to definition of determining factors of vocational success in those engaged in hazardous occupations. It has been shown that effectiveness and reliability of activity of such specialists was stipulated by a complex of their psychophysiological and social-psychological characteristics, with the main role of individual-typological properties of the nervous system, features of mental state, sensorimotor reactions, cognitive, personal sphere, behavioral coping strategies as well as indices of social well-being. It has been indicated that no single theory was able to explain individuals' stress tolerance by a total of definite psychophysiological and social-psychological characteristics, and it was necessary to specify them in order to strengthen the diagnostic and correctional components of psychophysiological support of specialists in connection with increasing stress-producing character of their vocational activities.
