The paper is devoted to the problem of interrelation of people’s attitude towards dangers and needs for danger and safety, readiness for risk and motivation of success achievement or avoidance of failures. On the basis of the empirical research conducted on students, it was established that needs for experience of feeling safety and ensuring safety are the basis of sensitivity to dangers. Ability to adequate reaction in situations of threat is caused by readiness for reasonable, but not excessive risk. The exaggeration of dangers results from a combination of needs for safety with aspiration to avoidance of failures and unavailability of a person to risk. Ignoring of dangers is defined by the need for experience of feeling of danger, aspiration to high risk at not expressed motivation of progress achievement or failure avoidances. The received results can be used in the correction course of non-optimal types of people’s attitude towards dangers.
