The aim of this work is to reveal psychological indices for the monitoring of education environment according to the students' social-psychological safety criterion and to specify their interrelation. The article presents theoretical and methodological bases of the monitoring of students' social-psychological safety criterion in a higher educational establishment. The article presents the review of approaches to the definition of key features of education environment including psychosocial well-being, informational security, non-violent interaction, social ecology. Basing on the analysis of theoretic and methodological material, we defined personal qualities of students, which determine the character of interaction of educational subjects and their psychosocial well-being. These indices are as follows: communication skills, social tolerance, and creativity. Social tolerance is defined as sincere respect and acknowledgement of the other person, active moral position and psychological readiness to the positive interaction in the society and education environment. Communication skills as an index of social-psychological safety include the ability to person-oriented trustful interaction, kindness, skills of business democratic communication, ability to keep emotional well-being, ability to work out strategy, tactics and technique of active interaction with people. Creativity if defined by the student's ability to self-actualize, to learn his/her own abilities and skills, self-fulfilment while creating social-psychological environment of his/her own life. Psychosocial well-being in the whole is characterized by the state of education environment which is free of expression of physical and mental violence. The conducted investigation allowed us to reveal positive correlation connections between the level of subjective well-being and formedness of personal qualities which define the social-psychological safety of education environment.
Introduction. In modern society, there is a growing demand for the spread of prosocial practices, among which the leading role is given to the volunteer movement. In this regard, the actual pedagogical task is the education of a prosocial person - a member of the public, whose activity is focused on the gratuitous societal service and is resulted from altruistic motives. Students are potential members, who can be involved in such activities. Student community is considered as a special social group, which is characterised by the highest degree of civic activity, the desire for self-organisation and self-realisation in various spheres of life.The aims of the research presented in the article are to identify and analyse the attitude of youth to different types of volunteering; to justify the need for support and development of the volunteer movement as one of the main conditions for the safe and sustainable existence of society.Methodology and research methods. The research was based on personal and socio-cognitive approaches to the process of education of the new generation, as well as on the key provisions of the theory of social security. The methods of focus group research, interviews, questionnaires and Internet surveys were employed as tools for information collection. The data obtained were generalised and processed using qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, including content analysis, percentage analysis, correlation analysis through Pearson coefficient and factor analysis (principal component method, varimax rotation). The calculations were made with the use of the statistical software package SPPS 17.Results and scientific novelty. The phenomenon of volunteering is considered as an important factor of social solidarity and social trust and as a form of safe prosocial behaviour of the individual. Based on the responses of respondents, who took part in the surveys, typical ideas about the motivation of the volunteer, his or her personal qualities and conditions of familiarising with various volunteer practices are identified, studied and generalised. The authors built up a psychological profile of a modern young man, capable of voluntary selfless acts for the benefit of others. Three groups of factors of formation of prosocial behaviour in the youth environment are allocated: social and ecological, educational and civil, cultural and religious. The types of volunteer activities are ranked according to the degree of their influence on the social well-being of the people around them in society according to the potential of gratuitous benefit for other people. From the perspective of the Russian Government and student community, it was revealed that there are some differences in assessing the potential of volunteerism in terms of the importance of selfless actions that contribute to human well-being in society. Conflicting priorities defined by the survey participants, and, the range of activities proclaimed in the Concept of development of volunteerism (volunteering) in the Russian Federation until 2025, can be connected with students’ insufficient awareness on voluntary projects or can be indicative for the risks of socialisation of young people.Practical significance. The present research, on the one hand, enriches the field of knowledge about the essence of safe prosocial behaviour of the individual and, on the other hand, this study has a practice-oriented significance, as it can serve as a basis for the development of methods of psychological and pedagogical impact on the development of human readiness for prosocial behaviour, implemented through voluntary activity.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению проблемы гендерного дисбаланса в IT-сфере в условиях развития в России цифровой экономики. Представлен выборочный анализ ситуации включенности женщин в данную сферу: участия школьниц в IT-олимпиадах; получения девушками высшего образования по IT-направлениям; их возможностей трудоустройства и достойной оплаты труда, карьерного роста, профессионального признания. Цифровой гендерный разрыв проанализирован как фактор риска социальной безопасности женщины и общества в целом. Рассмотрены объективные и субъективные угрозы цифрового гендерного разрыва: стагнация цифровой экономики ввиду нехватки специализированных кадров, снижение прибыли IT-компаний, рост социальной напряженности и ухудшение социального самочувствия женщин. Представлены результаты исследования, направленного на выявление у студентов-будущих IT-специалистов гендерных особенностей профессиональной мотивации и представлений о своей карьере, выступающих показателями их социальной безопасности. Применялась анкета «IT-карьера» и методика «Удовлетворенность профессией» (В. А. Ядов, модификация Н. В. Кузьминой, А. А. Реана). У половины респондентов (мужчин и женщин в равной степени) выявлены большие ожидания от трудоустройства и карьеры в IT-сфере, что говорит об их равной социальной безопасности. Сделан вывод о необходимости формирования имиджа женщины, профессионально ориентированной в цифровой экономике и IT-отрасли, через разработку и реализацию соответствующих социальных, образовательных и менторских программ.
