Abstract

Context and relevance. As a result of the conducted scientific analysis, it was revealed that victimization in cadets can manifest itself in a potential form. The potential victimization of a cadet's personality is a risk factor for the manifestation of victim behavior in a victimogenic situation. Objective. To study the psychological characteristics of the potential victimization of cadets in educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Methods and materials. 366 cadets of educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia took part in the study. As a result of data clustering (based on the results obtained using the methodology "Research of propensity to victim behavior" by O.O. Andronnikova), two groups of cadets were identified: the potentially victimized type, which included cadets with average scores on the scales of the questionnaire, the non-victim type, which included cadets with low scores on the scales of the questionnaire. In the course of an empirical study, the significance of differences between groups of cadets of potentially victimized and non-victim type was analyzed according to the indicators of the methods proposed in the study. Results. The scheme of the model of potential victimization of a cadet's personality in educational institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia (the structure of which consists of motivational-value, cognitive, behavioral and emotional components) is described. Conclusions. The potential victimization of a cadet in an educational institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is an integrative characteristic that includes a set of psychological qualities and traits of a cadet's personality that can increase the likelihood of victim behavior in a victimogenic situation.
