32

Abstract

Context and relevance. A high level of tension characterizes the modern social environment. At the same time, there is a need for effective functioning in it, which requires maintaining a state of psychological safety, which determines resistance to negative environmental impacts. Students are the vulnerable contingent due to the lack of personal maturity. Objective. The aim is to identify the features of personal resources of college, bachelor's and master's students studying in the territories newly admitted to the Russian Federation. Hypothesis. There are differences in the personal resources of psychological safety of students studying in a tense social environment, due to the level of their education. Methods and materials. The study sample consisted of 1034 people: 216 from college (M = 18,25, SD = 2,3, 42% – women), 627 from bachelor's programs (M = 19,52, SD = 3,21, 56% – women), 191 from master's programs (M = 26,87, SD = 5,59, 62% – women). The following methods were used: "Subjective Well-Being Scale"; a system of indices for assessing the acceptance of deviant forms of behavior; "Tromso Social Intelligence Scale"; "Cognitive Regulation of Emotions"; "Life Style Index"; a system of indices reflecting value orientations. For the empirical data assessment were used: Levene's test, one-way ANOVA with subsequent post-hoc pairwise comparison and correction for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni/Games-Howell method, principal component analysis, multiple regression analysis. Results. The study revealed the features of the state of psychological safety of students at each level of education and the specifics of the resources supporting them (value orientations, types of cognitive regulation of emotions, social skills, and psychological defense mechanisms). Conclusions. The obtained results allow to develop targeted programs to support the state of psychological safety of students in a tense social environment, with the definition of targets of influence, differentiated for college, bachelor's, and master's students.
