ABSTRACT
Aim: Identifying key psychosocial factors that contribute to the development of inclusivity and accessibility among students in contemporary crisis conditions,
as well as assessing their impact on readiness for social and professional interaction in an inclusive environment.
Materials and Methods: The materials of the research were based on the results of an anonymous online survey of students from Ukrainian higher
education institutions, conducted in the summer semester of 2025 using Google Forms. The questionnaire included blocks of questions aimed at identifying
the psychosocial factors influencing the development of inclusivity and accessibility. Descriptive statistics, elements of comparative and correlational analysis,
as well as qualitative processing of open-ended responses were used for data analysis, which allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the relationship
between students› psychosocial resources and their readiness for inclusive and barrier-free interaction.
Results: The development of inclusivity and accessibility among students is formed through a complex interaction of psychosocial factors: personality traits,
social environment, interaction experience, and value orientations. Effective development of readiness for inclusive behavior requires a systematic approach
that combines theoretical training, practical tasks, and socio-psychological support.
Conclusions: The research findings indicate that the development of inclusivity and accessibility in the student environment is determined by the interaction
of personal resources (empathy, tolerance, communication skills), the social environment, participation in communities, family values, the educational context,
and experience of living in crisis conditions. Crises can create barriers but at the same time stimulate social empathy, solidarity, and collective support. Effective
formation of an inclusive culture requires a comprehensive approach that combines personal development, social integration, and structural changes in the
educational environment.
