The paper present the results of an experimental study of how individual characteristics of psychological safety are manifested in firstgraders depending on how well they are adapted to school. The study involved 238 children. It applied a number of techniques aimed at examining indicators of psychological safety and the level of school adaptation in first-graders. The study demonstrated that among primary- school students with different levels of school adaptation, the most reliable data on differences was yielded in such a component of psychological safety as experiencing protection, which is expressed in emotional states and anxiety.
