The concept of psychological security versus psychological insecurity derives from a complex system of interaction conditioned by several factors. On a situational level, we can approach psychological safety, which is a state that the subject is aware of, compared to psychological safety, which represents an unconscious complex construct, a feeling, which includes several structural elements that make it up, such as personal and emotional safety, which represents exactly as psychological security a deep feeling related to unsatisfied needs, but also their antipode the insecurity conditioned by the phenomenon of psychological insecurity as a current state. This article presents ideas about decision-making when safety versus psychological insecurity is activated, but which are deeply rooted in a deep sense of psychological security or insecurity.

Psychological assessment is one of the key disciplines of scientific psychology. During this century it has been confused with psychology itself. The activity of any psychologist—whether in basic and applied fields, with sophisticated equipment in the laboratory, or when employing psychological tests or other assessment methods in applied fields—involves assessment at some stage. In this article, a series of challenges at the end of 20th century and avenues for development for the forthcoming decades are described. First of all, a continuation of the progress made during this century can be expected. A second avenue reviewed is related to the relationships between new technologies and the cognitive and neuropsychological sciences. Moreover, it can be expected that new social needs will produce several challenges. Finally, it can be predicted that there will be advances in the control of the assessor's as well as of the subject's behaviors during the assessment process.

The article presents the empirical study on the psychological factors of disabled students' psychological hardiness. Studying in integrated groups is a challenge of particular difficulty for disabled students who dare to exercise their rights to higher education and equal opportunities proposed by the inclusive environment, which requires from them much more efforts than those in situations of chronic illness, as well as activation of their personal resources. Therefore, it is important to study psychological hardiness as a general indicator of an individual's mental health, determining their ability to overcome life difficulties. The aim is to study the psychological characteristics, factors and predictors that determine disabled students' psychological hardiness. Methods. Factor analysis allowed us to determine the parameters of psychological hardiness for disabled students having different intensity of its components. According to the performed regression analysis, the indicators of disabled students' psychological hardiness having low and medium-high general hardiness are predicted. Results and conclusions. The factor structure of psychological hardiness for disabled students having low intensity of its components includes the following parameters: time perspective; active coping strategies; self-attitude, with the focus on assessment of them from others and an expected positive attitude of others; the need to actualize one's own Self. The predictors determining these respondents' psychological hardiness are self-esteem as a source of one's own strength, the search for social support as a strategy for active overcoming of difficulties, and self-actualization as a need for self-development and self-realization. The factor structure of psychological hardiness for disabled students having medium-high intensity of its components includes the following parameters: meaningful life orientations as a result of existing conscious goals and meanings for their lives; good self-attitude as a determinant of an individual's internal activity, time perspective as a holistic self-image in time; the individual's basic beliefs as their implicit ideas about the world around, other people, themselves and relationships with the world; values as an ability to be guided in interaction with the world around by the values of self-actualization. Predictors that determine these respondents' psychological hardiness are: the future (as a parameter of an individual's time perspective) and the values of self-actualization. The personality parameters revealed at our empirical research are the resources of disabled students' psychological hardiness and the condition of their successful self-realization.
