Value-semantic orientations in the personality structure of cadets of the Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service

The conducted psychological research has a rather narrow specificity, since it affects the closed structures, namely the penal enforcement system and the Federal Penitentiary Service. The subject of the study is the professional value-semantic orientations of cadets of the Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The cadets who took part in the study are going through a period of sensitive development and formation, coinciding with adolescence, which makes them similar to students of civil general education universities. Therefore, the obtained research results may be relevant for a wide audience.
