Abstract

Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches to the interpretation of the phenomenon of "psychological security of the individual" in modern psychological science and their own empirical research of the views of the police officers about the phenomenon under study, the concept of "psychological security of the subjects of official activity" is clarified. By the method of an expert survey, which was attended by 18 employees of the Department of Internal Affairs serving as adjuncts of the Faculty of Training Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Personnel of the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V.Ya. Kikotya, its five-component structure was revealed, including: cognitive, emotional, motivational, socio-psychological, and psychophysiological components. It is established that experts consider the most important manifestations of the psychological security of subjects of official activity to be a subjective assessment of the situation as not threatening and controlled, but their capabilities for regulating it as sufficient; the absence of social anxiety and fear of interaction; the absence of psychological violence from Others; lack of social frustration (satisfaction with life and work). At the same time, the author comes to the conclusion that the differentiation of the psychological safety of the subject of official activity in the categories of mental phenomena should be carried out rather through the category of "mental education" than through the category of "mental state", as is done in most modern scientific research.
