Annotation: Considering the creation of a stable modern society, acceptance and respect for cultural diversity, selfexpression, and individuality, this article examines psychological and pedagogical approaches to fostering tolerance. The authors define tolerance in psychological and pedagogical science as a complex social and moral quality that ensures respectful acceptance of the individuality of communication and interaction partners. This article examines a pedagogical approach, the essence of which lies in education based on subject-to-subject interaction, respect for the individual, respect for cultural diversity, and acceptance of others. It also explores the creation of a tolerant environment, facilitating students’ adaptation to modern society. Key objectives of tolerance pedagogy are described, promoting the development of critical thinking, information literacy, behavioral competences, empathy, and intercultural sensitivity. This pedagogical approach sets a social imperative and creates a practical context for the implementation of knowledge about the psychological mechanisms of tolerance. This article analyzes psychological approaches to understanding tolerance: as a stable personality trait (dispositional), as a complex cognitive- affective process (procedural), as a component of social cognition, including social categorization and attribution, and as a developmental process in the context of life path psychology. The multicomponent structure of tolerance is emphasized, encompassing cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects that describe how individuals perceive and respond to uncertain situations, how they relate to them, and how they adapt. A fragment of a training program for students is presented, aimed at fostering respect for cultural diversity, developing empathy, and constructive interaction skills. Prospects for further research are seen in the study of the neurocognitive mechanisms of tolerance, the development of comprehensive training programs aimed at developing tolerant communication skills, accepting differences in others, and managing emotions, as well as in exploring the specifics of tolerance in the digital environment. The results of the work lead to the conclusion that an integrated approach to the study of the problem of tole- rance is necessary, which encourages students to actively accept various ethnic, religious, and social groups, where tolerance is a necessary condition for preserving the uniqueness of society, ensuring the survival of mixed communities, their freedoms and rights.
