Main types of military identity of military universities cadets
Introduction. The article presents the results of the study of the main types of military identity of cadets. A new methodology for determining two types of military identity and assessing their significance is proposed as a toolkit. Theoretical analysis. Military identity, as one of the types of identity in the structure of a serviceman’s personality, is interesting to study not only through the prism of the main focus of his security responsibilities. A serviceman always acts as a part of military staff, so military identity should also be studied through the relationship of his personality with the surrounding military team. Empirical analysis. The purpose of the study was to develop a new instrument for identifying and assessing this relationship in the structure of military identity. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that the proposed instrument is characterized by a sufficient level of validity and reliability to identify and assess the two main types of cadets’ military identity. Conclusion. In the course of the study, two types of cadets’ military identity were identified: general military identity and identity with the military staff. It was confirmed that the proposed methodology is characterized by a sufficient level of validity, reliability and is a reliable diagnostic tool for determining and assessing the significance of the specified types of military identity.
