The Impact of Personal Psychological Aspects of an Individual on the Development of Destructive Conduct and Suicidal Risk Among Officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

This article presents the results of a study of the psychological preconditions for the development of destructive behavior in servicemen. In order to implement the above, an analysis was carried out of the data obtained in the course of a psychodiagnostic study on the presence or absence of destructive behavior and suicidal risk in officers, as well as options for the joint and separate manifestation of such behavior. The study analyzes indicators on two scales of the DAP-2 questionnaire and all scales of the ITO+ methodology developed by L.N. Sobchik and modified for the armed forces by K. Sugonyaev. To conduct correlation analysis, the Spearman correlation criterion is used. The article also presents a correlation analysis of individual psychological characteristics of a person with indicators of destructive behavior and suicidal risk in officers, regardless of their rank and length of service. It also demonstrates general and particular personality traits that contribute to or hinder the development of both destructive behavior and suicidal risk. The described results of the study will be used in a broader analysis of the psychological prerequisites for the manifestation of destructive behavior in military personnel, and will also be taken into account when developing a training system for future officers of military training centers.
