THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RISK PERCEPTIONS AND VALUE-MOTIVATION SPHERE WITH THE FFS PERSONNEL
The theoretical part of the article discloses risk -related problems and perceptions about it. The complexity and multivariate nature of the concept are demonstrated. The phenomenological assessment of human values is produced. In the practical part the typology for risk perceptions maintained by the FFS officers is worked out through association experiments and cluster analysis. The survey resulted in 5 types of risk perceptions (“adaptive”, “self-assertive”, “pragmatic”, “professional”, and “extremal”). The analysis of value-motivation sphere was administered to the respondents with different risk perceptions. The results show that for the adaptive type retention is preferable, the self-assertive one values achievement and openness to change, the pragmatic type - personal values and security, the professional one appreciates values of social focus, and the extremal one stands for hedonism and alteration values.
