Factors of psychological safety of the personality of a student of a psychological and pedagogical university

<p><strong>Context</strong><strong> and relevance.</strong> The social situation of human development is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and unpredictability, which requires people to be able to function effectively under constant stress while maintaining the potential for personal growth and self-development. These challenges emphasize the importance of research in the field of psychological safety — a scientific discipline that studies the conditions that contribute to the safe development of the individual and the mechanisms of environmental influence on the psychological well-being of people. Psychological safety of the educational environment of a higher education institution is considered an integral condition for ensuring academic effectiveness and as a key factor contributing to the social well-being of society as a whole. <strong>Objective</strong> — to assess the psychological safety of students of a psychological and pedagogical university in different courses of study. <strong>Hypothesis.</strong> Students at higher education institutions have different levels of psychological safety at different stages of their studies. <strong>Methods and materials.</strong> The study involved 99 MSUPE students (bachelor's, specialist's, master's degree; Mage = 24.67; 84,8% women). Methodological basis: the structure of psychological security of the individual (Kostina L.V., 2023) based on the components: the stability of the individual in the environment, resistance (resilience) to internal and external influences, the experience of security/insecurity of the individual and the effectiveness of activities. <strong>Results.</strong> Nonlinear dynamics of students' psychological safety depending on the course of study was revealed. The relationship between the components of psychological safety and academic performance was confirmed. <strong>Conclusions. </strong>Determinants influencing the level of psychological safety of students have been identified (field of study, age, personality traits).</p>
