Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the destructive manifestations in the emotional and behavioral spheres of seafarers in a sample of 40 seafarers. In the research we studied the behavioral patterns of sailors according to their professional status: senior officers, officers, deck crew, engine crew, and support staff. We also examined the correlation between the characteristics of destructive manifestations and the professional status of seafarers. Statistical analysis revealed unfavorable assertiveness scores in all five study groups. This suggests that the sailors in the studied sample, as representatives of an extreme profession, have a constant willingness to enter into conflictual interaction. For people in the seafaring profession, who operate in extreme conditions, it is necessary to develop and implement developmental and psychotherapeutic psychological intervention programs.
