INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ADVENTUROUSNESS ACCORDING TO EMOTIONAL TYPE

The paper deals with the peculiarities of adventurousness in persons with different types of emotionality. Emotionality is one of the psychological factors determining the adventurous behavior. The selection of this factor is due to the cornerstone impact of emotionality on the structure of personal qualities. The empirical research was based on Adventurousness Inventory (by O. Sannikova, O. Sannikov, N. Melenchuk) and Four-Modality Inventory of Emotionality by O. Sannikova. According to the research outcomes there have been found significant positive correlations with the “joy” and “anger” modalities, and negative ones – with the “fear” and “sadness” modalities. Besides, it has been revealed that people for whom the emotions of “joy” and “anger” patterns are more peculiar, are more prone to adventurous behavior, as compared to the persons with “fear” and “sadness” patterns. Emotionality affects the structure of adventurousness and determines its specificity.
