description Introduction. The article discusses comparative psychograms of groups of respondents. They are formed on the basis of 9 their reasons for non-participation in political life.Materials and Methods. For analysis (120 respondents, 2 sociological questionnaires, 6 personality tests), we use the author's method of multiple comparison (generalized version). As a result, the summ extremeness of these 9 groups were determined within the framework of a problem in which 89 groups were compared.Results. Based on the summ extremeness of personal qualities for three groups of high extremeness, full psychograms are given. These are groups whose respondents: 1) were at a loss to answer why they are not taking part in political life; 2) due to personal employment do not participate in political life; 3) do not take part in political life because they trust the president and believe that he will solve all problems. For next gruops on the extremeness (3 groups), abbreviated psychograms are considered, in which only pronounced personal qualities are indicated. These are groups whose respondents: 1) do not participate in political life because politics is a “dirty business” and decent people have nothing to do there; 2) they do not see leaders whom they could follow, and therefore do not take part in political life; 3) do not participate in political life because, in their opinion, professionals should deal with politics. For the remaining three groups, in which no pronounced personal qualities were revealed (the picture quite averaged over the whole of 89 groups), only their names are listed for reasons of non-participation of their representatives in political life.Discussion and Conclusions. As a result, we can conclude that the reasons for the non-participation of respondents in political life are largely determined by their psychological identity.
