Category of Psychological Security of Personality in Scientific Literature
Abstract
In the article, the author reveals the category of psychological safety of the individual in the scientific literature. It was established that there is still no unified point of view regarding the concept of psychological safety and all its prerequisites. Scientists interpret this concept as a dynamic, integral and complex phenomenon, a feeling, experience or state of protection from internal and external dangers, controllability of life events, self-confidence, the ability to maintain balance and resistance to threats, satisfaction with life and basic personal needs, inner peace and a favorable environment for development in the future and its self-realization. The author claims that the main signs of psychological security of an individual are a sense of security and psychological well-being, satisfaction with one's life, confidence in the future, in the possibility of self-realization and self-development, faith in oneself, in one's ability to cope with difficulties in life, relative predictability of changes in the external environment and society. The article reveals three factors that determine personal safety, in particular, the security factor, the environmental factor, and the human factor. The levels of psychological safety and its structure were also analyzed.
