Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the significance of social trauma for the value-motivational sphere of cadets who had psychological contact with servicemen died in the AN-26 crash and those who did not have it.

Theoretical and empirical research methods were used to solve the tasks: testing to determine the presence of social trauma in order to form a sample of subjects (the method of incomplete Sachs sentences); methods of diagnos­ing significant values for cadets (Schwartz's value questionnaire); methods of research of motivation to service activity of cadets: "motivation of professional activity" (K. Zamfir's method in A. Rean's modification), "method of diagnostics of the person on motivation to avoid failures" (T Ehlers); methods of mathe­matical statistics: Mana-Whitney's test for determination of differences be­tween groups of samples; Spearman's correlation coefficient of the study on closeness of the connection between social trauma and the value-motivational sphere of cadets.

Results of the research. Soldiers who had psychological contact with the cadets died in the AN-26 crash had a focus on the choice of such values as "Se­curity", "Stimulation", "Independence", "Kindness". The study found that the control group was dominated by such value orientations as "Hedonism" and "Power", which was due to military activities, forming personal discipline and a certain systematics.

Conclusions. As a result of the study using mathematical statistics, the rela­tionship between the importance of social trauma for the value and motivation of cadets who had psychological contact with the dead servicemen in the crash ofAN-26. The closest connection is found between the importance of social trau­ma and such a value construct as "Security". The analysis of scientific problems showed that the question of the significance of social trauma for the value - mo­tivational sphere is open from the empirical and theoretical point of view and needs its further research.
