Abstract

Conflicts and their relationship with mental health always go hand in hand, especially when it comes to theater actors. Despite the enormous role of the theater in the spiritual life of society, there are many contradictions that lead to conflicts that have negative consequences for the creative process and the integrity of the theater. Psychological methods of maintaining mental health actors in modern conditions of transformation of Ukrainian society are insufficiently developed in the scientific literature. This research is an attempt to study the factors affecting the quality of mental health in actors, which was conducted for ten years. Subgroups of actors were solicited separately: soloists, ballet dancers, chorus, orchestra. Based on the results of the study, the specificity of the experience of conflict situations in each group was determined. Three main types of employees of the theatrical collective in the style of interpersonal communication are singled out: conflict, passive and benevolent, where it was found a weak but statistically significant link between the expressiveness of the styles of behavior in the conflict situation and the divisions of the theater. The influence of the personal characteristics of members of the theatrical collective on interpersonal conflicts is stated. In particular, according to the characterological features of the actors, the negative accentuations of the cyclotomic, pedantic and hypertensive types were found to be negatively influenced, especially in the theater department such as the ballet. The results obtained were used as the basis for the development of a training program aimed at overcoming conflicts and preserving the mental health of actors.
