【 摘 要 】

The study was performed with financial support from the RF Presidential Grants programme for Russian beginner researchers who are PhD holders (M-6409.2018.6). This article provides description of the psychological adaptation mechanisms in Arctic oil and gas rotational workers belonging to different occupational categories. Although the mechanisms of human adaptation to harsh climate and rotational work in general have been addressed in numerous publications that give insights into their medical and psychological sides, they lack systematization and classification, in particular with regard to psychological and socio-psychological adaptation patterns in mining workers. Our study covered the oil and gas industry employees working on a rotation basis in Nenets Autonomous Area - a total of 70 individuals aged between 24 and 60. Such processes as self-regulation, psychological defense and socio-psychological adaptation have been found to vary in oil and gas belonging to different occupational categories.
