The study is devoted to the problem of comparing attitudes towards global risks among students of different mentality (religious and secular). It was assumed that this attitude varies in a number of components and forms links with identity and tolerance for uncertainty. Respondents: students of an Orthodox university (58 people at the age of 17—29 years old, of which 52% are girls, 48% are boys) and students of a secular university (69 people at the age of 16—31 years old, of whom 71% are girls, 29% are young men). The study used a questionnaire method using the techniques: “Attitude to global risks”, “Tolerance to uncertainty”, “Social identity”. Data was processed in the SPSS 20.0 program. The hypothesis was partially confirmed. Religious authoritarianism as a strategy to prevent global risks by returning to traditional values and controlling citizens is higher for Orthodox students. For secular students, it is more typical to see threats from a fatalistic point of view and to believe in the possibility of preventing global disasters by maintaining a balance of power, cooperation and compromises. Significant relationships of risk attitudes with tolerance to uncertainty and identity are found.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the socio-psychological characteristics of the representatives of the "Baby-Boomer" generation, the identification of group differences in their collective memory and the features of the present and future representations. The sample consisted of 105 respondents aged from 56 to 70 years. The block of techniques contained 7 questionnaires. The results show that despite the considerable homogeneity of the sociopsychological characteristics of the representatives of the "Baby-Boomer" generation, various ways of constructing images of the present and the future among adherents of different representations of the history of the country were discovered.
The article presents the data of a statistical study using correlation analysis, which revealed the specifics of the relationship between the severity of rigidity, flexibility, the characteristics of the cognitive style and maladaptive behaviors in the structure of individuality in students. For diagnosis, such methods were used as: G. V. Zalevsky's Tomsk rigidity questionnaire; J. Young Schema Questionnaire; V. T. Kozlov's "Intellectual liability" test; The Stroop Color and Word Test; Rosenzweig Frustration Test; A. Luchin's test for flexibility of thinking; K. Gottshaldt Figures test. A correlation analysis of statistics was used. The study involved 73 university students aged 17–25 years. As the results of the study showed, the higher the cognitive plasticity and intellectual lability of the personality, the more pronounced is the ability to accept personal responsibility in a situation of frustration needs. At the same time, a high level of rigidity (general, relevant, premorbid, rigidity as a state) is associated with the manifestation of maladaptive patterns of behavior adopted in childhood, narrowing the possibilities for optimal self-realization of a person, with the predominance of aggressive actions with fixation on an obstacle in a situation of frustration. Expressed field dependence is associated with a self-defensive strategy for resolving a frustrating situation and fixing on satisfying one’s own needs.
