Abstract
Indicators of mental rigidity were studied in 75 professionals of the Federal Fire Service, Emercom of Russia (St. Petersburg). Examination was based upon holistic value approach within the integrative anthropological psychology; Tomsk rigidity questionnaire by Zalewski (TORZ) was used. According to TORZ scales, firefighters had mental rigidity of moderate severity. Direct correlation was identified between indicators of mental rigidity and experience in the Fire Service, Emercom of Russia. There were 10 (13.5%) firefighters with low mental rigidity and formed rigid (fixed) behaviors by TORZ. They comprised the risk group for disrupted vocational adaptation. Target for psychological correction of mental rigidity were defined.
