Abstract

The results of psychophysiological studies of stress resistance of 71 servicemen were analyzed based on the predictable-unpredictable threat model using the Reakor hardware and software complex. High stress resistance in motor-volitional servicemen of military positions at the psychophysiological level is associated with higher ECG wavelengths at all stages of testing, lower respiratory heart rate variability in the absence of load, as well as smaller amplitudes of the difference in its values between the stages of predictable threat and rest, in peripheral vascular tone between the stages of rest and predictable threat, a tendency to increase the index of centralization during the passage of the stages of the study, lower reactivity in terms of galvanic skin response and startle reflex. Low stress resistance against the background of adaptive disorders was manifested by indicators of vagal influences exceeding the population norm with a tendency to decrease in sympathetic, the most pronounced difference in systolic wave amplitude indicators between periods of exercise/rest with a tendency toward peripheral vasoconstriction. The developed technique makes it possible to objectify the stress resistance of military personnel, can be used to predict the success of adaptation during professional psychological selection, and also serve as a criterion for the effectiveness of their medical and psychological rehabilitation.
