“…The spreading of COVID-19 has significantly resulted in a large number of psychological consequences never encountered before. The fears of contracting coronavirus or dying from it, concerning about the safety of family, relatives, and friends, experiencing loneliness and reduced social contacts, feeling of uncertainty about job-related perspectives, and expectations of financial losses are considerable stressors that can negatively affect people's mental health and psychological well-being (Lai et al, 2020;Lima et al, 2020;Rajkumar, 2020;Sood, 2020;Titov et al, 2020). Facing the outbreak's continuous escalation and potential disease threat causes anxiety, depression, and behavioral overreactions, especially in case of less appropriate guidance from authorities and misinformation from mass and social media (Brooks et al, 2020;Hiremath et al, 2020;Saladino et al, 2020;Salari et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 coronavirus on employees’ psychological well-being; to explore whether socio-demographic characteristics of employees predict the negative effect of the pandemic on their well-being; to analyze factors (level of trust in the official and informal sources of information, expectations and concerns, coping activities and emotional states) associated with such negative effect. A total of 1.937 completed online surveys were gathered from May 11–June 7, 2020. After excluding participants whose psychological well-being subjectively was not affected by COVID-19 outbreak, the overall sample was divided into high (374 employees) and low-affected (762 employees) groups. Statistically significant differences between emotional states, concerns and coping activities of participants from high- and low-affected groups were found. The high intensity of the COVID-19 outbreak’s influence on employees’ psychological well-being has positive correlations with respondents’ financial circumstances, negative emotional states (tension, stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms), concerns and expectations regarding work, financial complications, health, and social issues. It also positively correlates with such coping activities as seeking support from a professional psychotherapist or psychologist.

The article is devoted to researching the connections between aspects of psychological well-being and personal beliefs in the context of limitations in social functioning during a pandemic. The survey had conducted in the form of a written group survey of respondents. In the research, the following research methods were provided: R. Yanov-Bulman Basic Belief Scale; methods of diagnosing the individual’s subjective well-being [11]. The results of the research were analyzed by using statistical processing methods. The peculiarities of the connections between the aspects of well-being and personal beliefs were revealed. The presence of a person’s belief in the benevolence and justice of the world is mostly due to the experience of emotional and existential well-being. The belief in the goodness of people and the value of one’s own «self» in the structure of personal beliefs is associated mainly with a higher level of ego-well-being. It was proved that the general level of psychological well-being depends on beliefs: in commitment to the world, justice of the world, the kindness of people, and values of «self». The study made it possible to establish that the features of various aspects of psychological well-being and beliefs in the period of social constraints caused by the pandemic COVID-19. Higher indicators of existential-activity well-being and ego-well-being had the persons who noted the absence of deterioration of the social functioning during the pandemic. Also, among persons who did not experience a deterioration in social functioning during the quarantine period, higher rates of belief in the world’s justice and the value of one’s own «self» were found. Thus, the role of basic beliefs as a worldview factor of well-being was proved, the peculiarities of their interdependence during the pandemic were studied. Empirical evidence has established the relationship between beliefs in the commitment and justice of the world, people’s kindness, and the value of the «self» with various aspects of well-being.

Personal well-being has been actively studied over the past two decades regarding the social practice demands. However, it is an extremely complex multi-concept which is difficult to verify. The article analyzes the mathematical and statistical methods used in Ukrainian studies of the phenomenon of personal well-being over the past five years. Firstly, the study shows that in domestic publications (especially articles) the importance is not given to the mathematical and statistical methods. Secondly, typical tasks in the study of personal well-being are the description of primary data, the study of similarity (Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney’s U-test, Kraskal-Wallace’s H-test, Wilcoxon’s T-test, ANOVA) and the study of dependencies (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient). Thirdly, correlation analysis is still one of the main analysis statistical tools over the past five years according the study of the links between well-being and other psychological phenomena. Since well-being is a highly complex system characterized by the presence of recurrent relationships and nonlinearity, it is important to use the synergetic paradigm and modern mathematical and statistical means of data analysis (Data mining), which allow to characterize systems characterized by ambiguity and uncertainty. Fourthly, application of new modern statistical methods is not yet widespreaded. When studying the phenomenon of personal well-being, the practice of processing small databases within the framework of applied statistics continues. Structural modeling, which makes it possible to confirm multidimensional models of well-being, is not widespreaded. Application of Bayesian networks of trust is quite promising, which are based on the concept of subjective probability, thus it is focused not on the study of objective reality, but on clarifying the individual’s ideas about it. Key words: psychological well-being, mathematical and statistical analysis, subjective well-being, modeling, personal well-being.
