Abstract

Abstract (other)

In accordance with the purpose of the research, which consisted in comparing of different representations of human safety, the justification of “psychological safety” concept was carried out. As the initial basis of the analysis of “safety”, the fundamental philosophical problem – Human problem – is considered; the methodological and theoretical foundations for studying of psychological safety from the position of the psychology of subject are defined. It is shown that the different attitude of the subject to the world (tragic, comic, etc. according to S. L. Rubinstein) is decisive in the experience of his being as dangerous or safe; the ways of the subject’s regulation of the threat experience are described depending on the life circumstances – everyday and intensive stresses. The concept of “psychological safety” is considered in relation to other scientific concepts – psychological well-being, resilience and hardiness.

Keywords

human problem, subject, psychological safety, the problem of life and death, psychological well-being, intensive stress, hardiness, resilience.
