BEHAVIOUR NORMATIVITY AS THE FACTOR OF SENIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN’S ATTITUDE TO DANGERS

Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the identification of interrelation of behavior normativity with the types of attitude to dangers at senior school age. 173 senior school students of a number of schools of Cherepovets participated in the research (88 young men, 85 girls). The authors’ questionnaires were used to identify the type of the attitude towards dangers, as well as the diagnostic techniques for determining the level of behavior normativity. As a result it has been established that senior school students with high level of normativity aren’t inclined to ignore dangers, the adequate sensitive type dominates among them. Besides, young men demonstrate anxious sensitive type more often, but girls – the anxious type with low sensitivity. It is revealed that schoolchildren with low level of normativity show the tendency for ignoring dangers. Girls can demonstrate the uncertain type with low sensitivity. The received results can be used in practical work on forming youngsters’ behavior normativity and adequate type of attitude to dangers.
