It is shown that the subjects with the average (constructive) level of social mobility have the greatest social adaptability, which is characterized by a harmonious motivational profile, predominance of average level of differentiation and homogeneity of professional preferences, future orientation with high meaning acceptance of responsibility, search for social support. Respondents with low social mobility are characterized by a predominance of homogeneous motivation, weak differentiation of professional preferences and their average homogeneity. Focus on the present and the process of life are interrelated with the active use of coping avoidance with pronounced internality in situations of failure.
