The following psychodiagnostic tools were used in the empirical study: "Questionnaire of psychological resourcefulness of personality" (Shtepa, 2018) and "Questionnaire risk propensity in different spheres of activity" (Vdovichenko, 2007).

The obtained data are the basis for continuing the study with a more extensive sample both in terms of age and professional affiliation.
