Abstract

The article presents a theoretical and empirical study of the ecological nature of adults’ interaction with family, interpersonal, and informational environments under conditions of war. The aim of the study is to provide a theoretical justification of structural models of ecological interaction and to empirically examine their relationship with life satisfaction and psychological well-being. Based on the analysis of contemporary scientific approaches, the main parameters of ecological quality within family, interpersonal, and informational environments were identified. In accordance with the proposed model, an original instrument, the “Scale of Ecological Interaction of Adults in Life Environments,” was developed. The results of the study revealed statistically significant relationships between indicators of ecological interaction across family, interpersonal, and informational environments, as well as their positive associations with life satisfaction and psychological well-being. It is demonstrated that the ecological nature of interaction is an important condition for maintaining psychological resilience of individuals during prolonged war.
