The analysis of the results of the identification of the dominant methods for
solving life problems (Table 1) showed that divorced women have more or less
uniformly distribution of levels with a high level of superiority (41.3%), that is, they
easily reconcile with the troubles, correctly assess what hastheneens.
Astheneroximately one third of the total number of divorced women found an average
(30.8%) and a low (27.9%) level of the solution of life problems.

The analysis of the results of the study of women from normative families
suggests that 76.2% of the total number of subjects under study have a high level of
solving life problems, easily reconciled with troubles, correctly assess what is
happening and maintain a mental balance. Almost one-third of women (30.2%) in this
group have an average level, and 1.6% - a low, inadequate level.
The task of this stage of work was also to reveal the peculiarities of the
mechanisms of protection (Table 2). At this stage of work we determined the tension
of each psychological protection.

Tension analysis in a group of divorced women showed the presence of problems
associated with psychological protection of negation (51.6%) and substitution (50.7%).
You can also note a certain level of stress on rationalization (41.3%). For women from
normative families, substitution tension has also been detected (51.5%). It is also
possible to note a certain level of tension by negation, which is 45.5% and regression
(44%).
It should be noted that according to V. H. Kamenska (1999) normative values of
the magnitude of the intensity of psychological protection are 40-50%. The overall
protection tension, which exceeds the 50% threshold, reflects the real external and
internal problems that have not been solved.
