Abstract
The aim of the study is to compare the attitude to the dangers of Kazakh and Russian students. On the basis of the results it was concluded that the region of residence and socio-cultural differences do not have any significant impact on the structure of the types of attitudes to danger, which allows us to conclude about the priority of psychological factors in the formation of a particular type of attitude to hazards. The obtained results can be used in the process of formation of students’ adequate sensitive type of attitude to dangers.
