Abstract
According to the anonymous psychological survey, the prevalence of risk of addictive behavior among 260 students of higher naval schools is about 50 % as for chemical addictive behavior, while the risk of developing non-chemical forms of addictive behavior does not exceed the general population level (5 %). Surveyed students were divided into 4 groups: I (control group) - no risk of addictive behavior (44 %), II - risk of alcohol and drug dependence (30 %), III - risk of nicotine dependence (15 %), IV - combined risk of alcohol, drug and nicotine dependence (11 %). To determine the psychological features of students with different kinds of chemical addictive behaviors, a psychodiagnostic method was used. Such features as dominance coupled with anxiety and propensity to take risks with low emotional sensitivity were established to be psychological determinants of different forms of chemical dependency.
