Skrebets V. Specific features of ecological awareness in conditions of the consequences of a technogenetic catastrophe.

The dissertation deals with ecological awareness in the manifestations of its naturally developing adaptogenesis in conditions of the consequences of a technogenetic (Chornobyl) catastrophe. A complex experimental and theoretical research of the problem has been carried out. Defined and empirically founded are the notions of ecological awareness and its peculiarities, specific features of ethogenesis (deformations) and behavioural ecodispositions. Elucidated are the subjectmatter, the tasks and methods of the research of the ecological awareness, and the author's conception of the latter has been presented in the dissertation. The monitoring of the methods and the arrangement of "field" ecopsychological expeditions, dealing with the research of everyday awareness of the people residing in the region, has been carried out.
