Kolchik E.Yu. Motivation of young people with different levels of tolerance to uncertainty

The author considers the motivational features of youth with a different level of tolerance for uncertainty. The relevance of the work is due to the rapid informatization and instability of modern society, which impose increased requirements on the individual, forcing him to make decisions quickly in difficult and ambiguous conditions. Tolerance to uncertainty, manifested in the form of the ability to build a life perspective in chaotic conditions, is largely interconnected with personality motivation, transforming uncertainty into new opportunities or paralyzing with fear of making a mistake. In the course of the research the questionnaire of tolerance to uncertainty by T.V. Kornilova and the method of diagnosing the motivational structure of personality (MSIA) by G.N. Malyuchenko, V.M. Smirnov and A.S. Kopova were used. All respondents were divided into three groups according to the degree of tolerance to uncertainty. It was revealed that young people with high tolerance to uncertainty have a pronounced cognitive motivation, while young people with low and medium tolerance to uncertainty have reactivating and relaxation motivation. Regardless of the degree of tolerance to uncertainty, all respondents showed high compensatory motivation, which manifests itself in different groups in different ways.
