The subject of this research is the structure of pupils’ and students’ fundamental beliefs. The aim of the research is to determine the place of psychological security of an individual within the structure of fundamental beliefs as well as the level of their aggression.

While carrying out the research a special questionnaire «The scale of fundamental beliefs» which includes three categories of fundamental beliefs (belief in the world’s kindness, belief in the world’s justice and the value of one’s own ego) being the nuclear of the subjective world of any individual as well as the methodology of aggression studying which includes peculiarities of various kinds of aggression have been used.

According to the results of the research no factors which the level of psychological security and its hesitation may depend on have been determined; the hypothesis of the direct impact of age and gender on the structure of fundamental beliefs has been proved. Students have the most stable structure of fundamental beliefs. The aggression level also corresponds with age stages.
