Abstract
Aim. To examine the problem of gender differences in the attitudes towards time among financial crime offenders. The indicators of the emotional relation to the past, present and future are analyzed.
Methodology. The main methodology used in the work was the “Time Attitudes Scale” by J. Nuttin (adaptation by K. Muzdybaev), designed to study attitudes to various time zones (past, present, future). The basis of the study was the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Chelyabinsk region. A total of 161 people between the ages of 19 and 64, including 101 men and 60 women, who were convicted and serving sentences for financial crimes, participated in the study.
Results. According to the results, women tend to have a more positive retrospective assessment of their past compared to men. In addition, women are diagnosed with a more optimistic perception of the future compared to men.
Research implications. The revealed gender differences in attitudes towards time can be considered from the point of view of the strategies for coping with stress in the crisis situations, as well as through the prism of gender resocialization. It is proposed to consider gender differences in the development of programs for the resocialization of prisoners based on the data obtained.
