In this work we reveal the issue of influence exercised by students` personality features over their choice of coping strategies in stressful situations. In the result of the research, we established that people, choosing constructive strategies, possess such personality features as: sociability, calm character, emotional stability. People showing neurosis, emotional labiality, inhibition, depression, aggression, as well as anxiety and high level frustration, more frequently apply to destructive strategies. We indicate personality features that might facilitate the choice of constructive coping strategies. We also mention that all temperament types are able to choose constructive strategies in stressful situations, however, using different inner resources and ways of coping with stressful situations. The obtained outcomes can be used to develop training courses on resistance to stress.
