Abstract: The article attempts to generalize the views and approaches to the study of uncertainty, characterizes the structural components of uncertainty and describes in detail how each of the considered components of uncertainty is represented in the activities of practical educational psychologists. The difficulties of young specialists adaptation to the profession of a psychologist are explained by the authors by the fact that all the activities of practical educational psychologists are associated with the need to interact with people and provide them with psychological assistance, as well as a large range of psychological services. This creates an increased emotional burden due to the following factors: the need to act in constant uncertainty due to the lack of professional experience and inconsistency of information provided by clients; the need to work with clients who have a serious mismatch between the existing picture of the world and the desired changes; impossibility to control the fulfillment of recommendations by clients; etc. The article also considers the uncertainty of a situation as an assumed condition for a state of frustration in adolescents. The revealed interdependence between the indicators points to the fact that overcoming a situation of uncertainty by adolescents leads to overcoming the state of frustration. This is indicated by the revealed inverse dependence between the indicators "level of tolerance to uncertainty", "frustration", and "social frustration". Moreover, the lower the level of tolerance to uncertainty in adolescents, the stronger the interdependence between the indicators "frustration" and "a way out of a difficult life situation".
