Abstract
This article is devoted to the statistical analysis of security and safety frequency in the context of categories connected with social institutions and personality features in research works from 2004–2019. Research was based on the following methods: quantitative analysis of safety frequency in the context with coded “categories” related to social institutions and personality features; analysis was conducted with computer-assisted content analysis QDA Miner Lite v. 1.4 and Fisher’s F-test. An analysis of 1157 works showed that the terms “security” and “safety” were quantitatively more frequent when used with concepts related to social institutions than with concepts related to personality features. In our opinion, this qualitative trend shows the prevailing significance of social aspects of security over its personal (psychological) traits for research analysis and practical social aspects. The priority usage of the terms “security” and “safety” can be related to the securitization of society, (i.e., to the increased role and significance of social ways of providing security and protection from threats), primarily with the help of external law-enforcing actors such as the state, police, and army. Securitization counterweights the development of social and psychological mechanisms of security—developing motivation for safe behavior, personal self-regulation, and self-production of security as an internal feeling of protection.
Highlights
The concept of security in science is presented in two major ways and modes: safety and security.The Oxford Dictionary suggests the difference between these two concepts in the element of protection: safety involves creating protection from risks or dangers whereas security means the state of being free from danger or threats [1,2].The first major statement concerning human security appeared in the 1994 Human DevelopmentReport (HDR), an annual publication of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).The definition was comprehensive and included security from such chronic threats as hunger, disease, and repression and, at the same time, protection from sudden and hurtful disruptions in the patterns of daily life, whether in homes, jobs or communities
In the anthropological research that set forward the idea of securitization [11], security involves maintaining the regulatory order in society via producing various threats and threat protection [9] (p. 282) by government order and control [10] (p. 487), whereas key security issues include health threats, safety of the urban environment, production of fears, criminalized groups, migrant threats, terrorism and extremism, forces and institutes of security [11,12]
Statistical analysis of research works published in 2004–2019 aimed at security-related terms has confirmed the idea of securitization of human security expressed in the anthropological literature

The first major statement concerning human security appeared in the 1994 Human Development. The UNDP’s 1994 definition of human security remains the most widely cited and ‘most authoritative’ formulation of the term, some countries, such as Canada, use a more restrictive definition of human security as “freedom from pervasive threats to people’s rights, safety or lives.”.
