The purpose of this study is to identify of personal features of coping-strategy among undergraduates of the Kazakh ethnic. Coping strategies were studied among 442 undergraduates of different specialties. We used the coping-test “Ways of Coping Questionnaire-WCQ” R.S. Lazarus and S. Folkman and Big Five personality traits P.T.Jr. Costa and R.R. McCrae. During the pilot study, the general and distinctive features in coping-strategies among undergraduates were found. The preferred and less important coping-strategies among undergraduates are revealed. It is shown that personality factors determine the choice of the dominant coping-strategies of behavior among undergraduates. The received results allowed to define the individualized methods of psychological work with undergraduates.} }
