Social and psychological factors of marital conflicts in the conditions of war

The problem of conflictual interaction in families, especially in the context of military actions, is extremely relevant for modern psychology, as war as an extreme situation poses a threat to the psychological well-being of the individual and the integrity of the family. The article reveals the problem of the emergence and development of family-marital conflicts in the conditions of military operations. It is shown that the problem of settlement of marital conflicts is quite relevant for understanding both the individual and group functioning of a person in the context of military conflict. A theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the factors of conflictual interaction of spouses, taking into account the influence of external (military) and internal (personal) factors, has been carried out. It has been established that war as an extraordinary, traumatic situation that threatens human life, violates its sense of security at different levels of functioning. It is proved that the conditions of military conflict significantly increase the risks of conflicts in marital relationships due to the experience of stress, anxiety, fear, forced separation of families. It is emphasized that stress situations related to war can lead to an increase in tension and uncertainty in family relationships, the deepening of conflicts due to the impact of stress on marital relationships. The peculiarities of the influence of "combat stress" on the psychological state of participants in hostilities and their consequences for family functioning are characterized. It is determined that the process of adaptation of servicemen to the conditions of peaceful life after returning from the front is extremely difficult, since military and peaceful thinking and behavior differ significantly, which increases the risks of conflictual interaction in married couples. It is substantiated that the separation of the spouses due to the war, the transformation of family roles, losses and traumas have a destructive influence on both marital relationships and the psychological well-being of children. Prospects for further research are seen in the empirical study of socio-psychological conditions for the settlement of marital conflicts in the conditions of war
