On March 31, 2026, at 17:00 (Moscow time), an online webinar “Applied Psychological Diagnostics of Motivation in Extreme Volunteers” will be held as part of the discussion platform “Science in Publications: From Idea to Practice” , with the support of the MSUPE “Boiling Point” platform.
The webinar will address key challenges in existing diagnostic tools for studying the motivation of extreme volunteers and discuss prospects for the development of psychodiagnostic methods designed for personnel of law enforcement agencies.
Particular attention will be paid to the psychometric potential of the following instruments:
- questionnaire on personal choice of participation in extreme volunteering;
- questionnaire assessing propensity for extreme volunteering;
- questionnaire of professional personality deformation;
- method for assessing stagnation of professional and personal development;
- method for assessing inclination to maintain official secrecy;
- questionnaire assessing multitasking propensity in extreme conditions;
- method for assessing information stress tolerance.
The webinar will also demonstrate the specifics of applying psychodiagnostic tools to various practical tasks.
