Abstract

The conceptualization of predictive human potential as a constructive anticipatory coping in the life stressful situation is offered. The objective of this study was to examine the role of predictive human potential as the ability of personality to cope with difficult life situations (or to resist stress) and as a vital component of establishing psychological well-being. Predictive potential allows a person to foresee possible upsetting or sorrowful events and be ready to face them increasing stress resistance and leading to decrease of psychological traumas. Predictive human competence as a diverse psychological phenomenon realized in anticipatory coping with a real-life stressful situation should be analyzed via the level of development of personality characteristics (ambiguity tolerance, hardiness and risk propensity) that form their individual predictive potential. The research results suggest that predictive competence is fundamental in understanding coping ability and make a contribution to the body of research on the relationship between personality and uncertainty.
