Magomed-Yeminov), “Test of sense-life orientations” by D. Leontiev. According to the research results the effectiveness was confirmed in following methods“Diagnostics tolerance for uncertainty” by S. Badner (modified by G. Soldatova), “Posttraumatic Growth Inventory” by R. Tedeschi and L. Calhoun (adapted by M. Sh. Magomed-Yeminov), “Test of sense-life orientations” by D. Leontiev.
