Abstract: Introduction: In the context of the long-term military conflict a special attention is paid to the problem of socio-psychological adaptation of the young personality. It has been determined that the social environment, characterized by a significant level of frustration factors, has a significant impact on mass consciousness, in particular on the psychological state of youth, forming conditions for increased socio-psychological vulnerability. Methods: The work uses an interdisciplinary approach using general scientific methods of cognition: synthesis, systematization and generalization. For empirical analysis, statistical data processing methods, psychological methods of diagnosing adaptation strategies, as well as analysis of behavioral and cognitive models of overcoming difficult life situations were used. Results: Typological features of youth personality adaptation were established, characterized by cognitive, conative and emotional components. It was found that different types of adaptation significantly affect self-esteem, social activity and resilience of young people to psychotraumatic influences associated with military conflict. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop innovative concepts of mass consciousness regulation through the targeted use of mass communication tools, which is critically important for maintaining mental health and social stability. Conclusions: The paper proposes a conceptual approach to the development of programs for the socio-psychological adaptation of youth in conditions of military operations, with an emphasis on preventing frustration states, neurotic disorders, and psychological trauma by taking into account destructive life attitudes and value orientations.
