The author’s “Scale of legal consciousness” (46 questions) was developed; the emphasis was placed on revealing the commitment to “conventional” values, as opposed to both egoistic and “universal” values.

High one-step reliability (α=0,824) of the new Legal Awareness Scale was revealed; the distribution of the indicator corresponds to normal. Correlations of high significance and expected sign with personality variables (L-Profile, MLO Adaptivity), with indicators of propensity to addiction (“ODA-2010” questionnaire) moderate positive relations with results on intellectual tests were revealed.
