Abstract
This study featured types and components of tolerance in students that majored in social science, natural science, and humanities. The paper focuses on various definitions of this term and its regional specifics. The obtained data underwent a correlation analysis, Student's t-test for independent samples, and a content analysis. The sample consisted of 91 people aged 18–21 (33 % male). The methods of primary data collection included the Index of Tolerance questionnaire developed by G. U. Soldatova, O. A. Kravtsova, O. E. Khukhlaeva, and L. A. Shaigerova; the Questionnaire of Communicative Tolerance by V. V. Boyko; the Homophobia Index Questionnaire by V. V. Hudson and V. A. Rickets; the Types and Components of Tolerance vs. Intolerance by G. L. Bardier; and a sentence competition test. The interpersonal component of tolerance had the highest mean score among other components, regardless of the major. The article highlights the way humanities degree students see tolerance. The results can be used in training programs that adapt students to the multicultural environment of the university.
