Abstract

The objective of the work was to establish the features of creativity and uncertainty tolerance in people with different levels of psychological well-being. An empirical study of the level of manifestation of psychological well-being of the studied group and the relationship between the components of creativity and tolerance for uncertainty was conducted. The study was conducted using a set of psychological techniques aimed at determining the level of psychological well-being, uncertainty tolerance, creativity and their components. Qualitative methods of data processing are used. The study found that people with high levels of psychological well-being have close relationships between the indicators of the components of psychological well-being, creativity and uncertainty tolerance. Instead, these relationships are significantly fewer among people with low levels of psychological well-being.
