Psychophysiological features of the manifestation of "fight, run, freeze" reactions in sailors in extreme situations of professional activity

Abstract

The professional activity of seafarers on long voyages is a unique object for psychophysiological analysis due to the influence of various types of stress. Such challenges provoke a decrease in the prestige of the profession and a decrease in the moral and volitional state of the crew. The central scientific problem is the destructive effect of acute and chronic stress on the psychophysiological readiness of specialists. Extrapolation of the obtained data to the educational process allows us to move from spontaneous adaptation to controlled stress resistance, which is the basis of maritime safety.
