The article describes a study of tolerance of uncertainty as the most important mechanism for the effective functioning of a person in everyday, educational and professional activities. It presents data on the manifestation of tolerance/ intolerance of uncertainty, motivation for success, perception of the world, and anxiety among male and female students of higher educational institutions of Kazan together with the relationship between these psychological parameters. The study aims to identify the severity and interrelationships between tolerance for these factors. The study found psychological differences between male and female students in terms of anxiety, motivation to achieve success, and conviction in the kindness of the World, and indicated that in the males and females there is a prevailing intolerance of uncertainty. The sources of this intolerance are shown. It also showed the interrelations of intolerance of uncertainty with the motivation to achieve success among males. In contrast, in female subjects, the motivation to achieve success is directly related to the peculiarities of the world perception. At the same time, anxiety among students of both groups studied remained low. A slight excess in the level of anxiety among female students is accompanied by a decrease in the level of self-worth. The results of this study can be used to develop a theoretical model of personal prerequisites for self-regulation of educational activities, training programs, and psychological counselling.
