"In the modern world, when the situation of social transitivity is, in fact, a complex difficult situation, it is relevant to turn to the study of coping methods that are characteristic and specific to this situation. A special role in the study of coping in a transitive society can be played by turning to cross-cultural studies that allow us to trace the transformations of coping in the context of modernization society. The article presents the results of a thematic analysis of narratives and free-form interviews of respondents from Russia and Uzbekistan, which allow us to conclude that the transformation of coping strategies in the process of modernizing traditional culture goes along the path of individualization, which is expressed as the need to take individual responsibility for solving difficult situations, and in the formation of a flexible repertoire of coping strategies that correspond to an individualistic, rather than a receding traditional collectivist culture. The study allows not only to understand individual strategies of perception, categorization and affective assessment of difficult life situations by representatives of different cultures, but also makes it possible to interpret them in the broader context of studying coping processes in a situation of social uncertainty and variability."
