Abstract
Temperament and its dynamic changes were studied in firefighters during their professional activities. The study included 74 specialists of the Federal Fire Service, EMERCOM of Russia. The mean age of firefighters was (31.8 ± 0.8) years and experience – (9.5 ± 0.8) years. A temperament survey by J. Strelau was used. It was found that firefighters have a balanced mental activity, but with increasing age and length of service in the Emercom of Russia the ability of their nervous system to withstand prolonged and intense exposure to stressful circumstances decreases as well as flexibility of adjustment to extreme situations.
