Abstract

The paper considers the cadets’ social anxiety as a result of their educational environment. The focus is made on the  historically developed peculiarities of the departmental educational institution, which cause social anxiety as an integral part of the  educational process. These primarily include the administrative-command style of relationships with cadets, the rigid regulation of  the educational process based on subject-object relations, a relative space limitation of cadets’ activities and a small variety of their  social connections. Basing on the empirical data given in the literature it is shown that a high level of social anxiety is related to  the cadets’ experience of emotional discomfort in the strictly regulated conditions of their life activity. However, the implemented  trainings aimed to reduce the cadets’ anxiety level only help them to adapt to the administrative-command style of relationships that  dominates in departmental educational institutions. According to the author, the creation in a university of a favourable psychological  climate for studies implies formation of stable corporate relations and development of a corporate culture.

Keywords: psychological climate,  social anxiety,  cadets; educational process; administrative-command system,  specifics of a departmental educational institution.
