Psychological features of the relationship between the attitude to dangers and the attitude to people among students

Abstract

The urgency of the problem is due to the importance of identifying psychological factors that determine people's attitude to dangers. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the relationship between the attitude to dangers and the attitude to people among students. The methodological basis of the work was the concept of relations by V. N. Myasishchev. As diagnostic tools, the author's questionnaires were used to identify sensitivity to threats, the choice of ways to respond in situations of danger, as well as sensitivity to humans. The results were processed using correlation analysis methods. 86 students of Cherepovets State University took part in the study, men — 10,47 % (9 people), women — 89,53 % (77 people), average age — 19.1 years. As a result, it was found out that sensitivity to threats positively correlates with all parameters of attitude towards people: interest in a person, empathy, understanding, help. The choice of adequate ways to respond is positively associated with interest in a person and willingness to help, exaggeration of dangers is negatively associated with understanding people and help, and ignoring dangers is associated with interest in a person and help. It is concluded that the types of attitude to dangers are the most important indicators of a person's socialization and are closely related to its attitude to other people. The obtained results can be used in the process of organizing security activities, as well as in the process of professional training of students of the socionomic (helping) sphere.
