PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF AGGRESSIVENESS IN SMOKING FEMALE STUDENTS I.A. Novikova Chair of Social and Differential Psychology Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia Miklukho-Maklaya str., 6, Moscow, Russia, 117198 A.L. Novikov Chair of General and Russian Linguistics Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia Miklukho-Maklaya str., 6, Moscow, Russia, 117198 The paper presents the results of a comparative study of the aggressiveness level in smoking and nonsmoking female students. <...> The System-Functional Model of Aggressiveness developed by A.I. Krupnov has been used in the study. <...> The results confirm the hypothesis that smoking female students in general have a higher level of aggressiveness in comparison with the non-smokers, although the level of aggressiveness in both groups did not exceed the norm. <...> Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including nicotine, which is one of the strongest poisons that causes dependence. <...> Smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death and disease and causes more than 5 million deaths each year, with the anticipated increase in this parameter to 8 million deaths annually by 2030 [17]. <...> In Russia, 400 000 people are dying every year from diseases caused by tobacco smoking [15]. <...> Despite the known negative effects of smoking, the number of smokers in Russia is not declining, and even growing. <...> From the viewpoint of psychology, the issue of tobacco addiction is still understudied, as opposed to medicine. <...> However, evidence suggests that there are differences between smokers and non-smokers in the personality traits. <...> At the same time, there is no difference in the level of Neuroticism among smoking and non-smoking women. <...> Using the R. Cettell’ 16PF, N. Serdyukova showed that non-smoking young men and women compared with smokers have a higher Rule-Consciousness, Abstractedness and Apprehension and a lower Social Boldness [6]. 80 Novikova I.A., Novikov A.L. Psychological features of aggressiveness of smoking female students Accordingly, we assume the existence of differences between smokers and nonsmokers in the level of Aggressiveness. <...> The study of this problem by the example of student age females is particularly relevant because of the growth of the number of smokers among them (in Russia). <...> We considered Aggressiveness as a personal trait. <...> In our research we were guided by the System-Functional Model of organization of the personality traits developed <...>
