Abstract
The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical study of relations between psychological resources of the security of an individual and his experience of different types of emergency situations. Psychological resources are determined as characteristics of an individual that are important for his security. We examined three groups of such resources – cognitive, emotional and motivational ones. Given significant variability of “extreme situations”, we proposed our own typology of them. This typology involves assigning extreme situations to groups using two categories – obligatory occurrence and vitality of the goal to be achieved. As a result, 4 types of extreme situations were identified: I – forced with the threat to life and health; II – obligatory situations without life threat; III – self-initiated without threat to life; IV – self-initiated with the threat to life and health of the subject. Subjects of emergency situations were characterized by the presence of free will and vitality threats. Psychological security resources (cognitive, emotional and motivational) were compared in subjects of 4 types of extreme situations and control subjects. Subjects of each type of extreme situations displayed original resources of security. It is concluded that the possibility to manage involvement in the extreme situation is combined with great psychological resources of personal security.
