Abstract

A study of subjective safety, its determinants, strategies and psychological mechanisms is very urgent at the present time. There is the theoretical research that is devoted to consideration of the issue of a leading factor in the dyad «the safety – personality features» in this article. On the one hand, personality features determine the characteristics of the safety state, on the other hand, the safety state determines occurrence of personal features. The personal safety is seen as a mental state. The article shows that the safety has all features of mental states. The research was conducted with reliance on age development concepts and mental states concepts. The article presents that personality features are primary and they determine occurrence and particular qualities of the safety state from the perspective of authors of mental states concepts. Authors of age development concepts approve a great part of safe environment in childhood for successful development of a child and for psychological well-being of an adult. From this viewpoint, the safety determines occurrence of personality features. The article shows that mechanism of formation of tendency to the safety state is similar to the process of interiorization as conversion of the external safety (the safety of environment) to the internal (personal) safety. Interiorization of the safety occurs in childhood. The authors of the article take into consideration the stability of personal traits in adulthood and suggest that in adulthood leading factor in the dyad «the safety – personality features» is personality features. Safety need is a basic motivational factor thatinfluences mental life, behavior and activity of human. The safety state and personality features influence together human’s behavior and activity. One of the tasks of the further research is to study the problem empirically. Such examination has theoretical and practical significance. Results of the research may be used in child psychology, advisory psychology, family psychology, military psychology and in other branches of psychology
