Introduction. Social adaptability is a fundamental prerequisite for an individual’s successful socialization, enabling self-expression through communication and activity while fostering social development. This study examines the relationship between stress tolerance and adaptability factors in male and female adolescents during their initial transition into cadet corps.
Materials and Methods. The study population comprised adolescent cadets of both sexes from a Cossack cadet corps, selected due to the significant stress and adaptation challenges inherent in their new environment. Cadets face substantial adaptation difficulties including strict routines, military discipline, uniform requirements, barracks living conditions, and the demands of military education. The transition from home to barracks life, with its rigid discipline and regimented structure, presents notable challenges, often resulting in disciplinary infractions related to self-care and personal hygiene. Methodological tools included the Stress Resistance Test (Y. V. Shcherbatykh) and the Social- Psychological Adaptation Scale (K. Rogers and R. Diamond).
Results. Analysis revealed three distinct clusters of relationships between adaptability and stress tolerance indicators: (1) patterns common to all cadets regardless of gender, (2) patterns specific to male cadets, and (3) patterns unique to female cadets. Conclusions. The findings informed gender-specific recommendations for behavioral intervention programs addressing self-esteem, task performance, and social communication challenges. These results will guide the development of targeted adaptation programs to improve cadets’ psychological adjustment to corps life.
