The relevance of theoretical and methodological research in the psychology of personality stress is due to the search for a single concept, based on which the development of personality stress acquires a clear logic, systematisation of knowledge, skills, generalization, and ordering of information on this issue, which inspired the author to implement their personal ideas. The purpose of the study is to reflect the systematic approach in the development of the conceptual paradigm of the integrative development of personality stress. To achieve the purpose, a systematic approach to the knowledge of psychological phenomena was applied, which provides clear principles and determines the sequence of stages of scientific research in systemic discourse; logical and methodological concepts of Ukrainian and foreign scientists were also used, which explain the meaning of the concept of “stress resistance”, give an idea of the symptoms and types of stress, the mechanisms of stress resistance of the individual. For the first time, the author presents the concept of integrative development of the personality’s tolerance to stress, which is based on a system model of the personality’s tolerance to stress. The result of the study is to identify the systemic key foundations of the author's concept of integrative development of the personality’s tolerance to stress: structural components, correlations between them, dynamic stages, the expected goal. The study presents a discussion of the results of theoretical analysis on the possibilities of applying a systematic approach in the development of personality stress. Stress resistance is considered as a structural and systemic integrative property of personality, which includes such fundamental components as psychophysiological, emotional, cognitive, and volitional. The author singles out the systemic properties of personality stress resistance, analyses the mechanisms of stress resistance development, and highlights the criteria to be followed in the psychodiagnostics of personality stress resistance. The practical significance of the study is that on a conceptual basis, it became possible to elaborate programmes for the development of the personality's tolerance to stress
