Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the conditionality of subjective ideas about an asocial personality with a system of individual values of cadets. The study was conducted on the basis of the Saratov Military Order of Zhukov Red Banner order Institute of National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation. Theoretical analysis. From the middle of the twentieth century to the present day, a wealth of empirical material on this topic has been accumulated. However, there are many gaps in scientific knowledge that determine the relevance of subsequent research. Empirical analysis. The study involved 300 cadets aged 17–26 years from 1st to 5th year of study. To study subjective ideas about an asocial personality, the author developed a questionnaire using the results of a pilot study. After carrying out statistical procedures, the most significant indicators of antisocial personality were combined into 4 groups of characteristics. To assess the values available to the cadets, a portrait value questionnaire of Sh. Schwartz was used. Conclusion. New data have been obtained indicating the relationship of values with the choice of indicators of antisocial behavior by cadets of the institute. The results of the research are of interest for the study of subjective perceptions, and will also help in building a strategy to improve the effectiveness of assessing social micro-situation and making operational decisions to ensure public safety.
