Abstract
The study examines the features of the social situation, expressed in the age at which students of the Economic Security program encounter corrupt practices, as well as the dynamics of students’ perception of the phenomenon of corruption. The distribution of students in this program according to their inclination toward professional personality types was investigated. Personality type was determined using an adaptation of B. A. Kondratenko’s methodology by G. V. Rezapkina, based on the works of D. Holland. It was found that students of the Economic Security program predominantly exhibit an “entrepreneurial” personality type. The study confirms the relationship between the development of the universal competency “Civic Position” and students’ professional personality types during the course Anti-Corruption Legislation and Policy, taught in the fourth year. A linear regression model, which takes into account the student’s personality type, is proposed to predict the outcomes of the formation of this universal competency. A one-way ANOVA of fourth-year students’ midterm results and fifth-year residual knowledge assessments in the course was performed, showing a conditionally close relationship between the assimilation of anti-corruption knowledge and the dominant professional personality type. The results of the study are intended to be used for developing models that allow predicting the achievement of all universal and general professional competencies based on the professional personality type of students in economic fields and specialties.
