A construct ‘Сhange Responding Style’s proposed by T. Y. Bazarov and M. P. Sychev is identifi ed as an intermediate connecting link between situation, social environment and individual. A situation of university admission and the period of the initiation of a students life is proposed as an example of life changes situation.
