Objective of the study. Revealing the levels of anti-victim personality formation in athletes.
Methods and structure of the study. The method of expert assessments was used as a method. The experts were active and former athletes aged 18 to 55, in the amount of 50 people. The research material was specially selected cases, in which the facts of victimization of athletes were recorded. The participants in the study were asked to propose effective means to avoid victimization in such cases.
Results of the study and conclusions. The analysis of the proposed options for resolving victim situations made it possible to prove that, by the nature of the methods used to get out of the conflict, five levels of the formation of an anti-victim personality can be distinguished: standard, average, borderline, predictive and victim. However, in reality, only 4% of the study participants were able to suggest ways of responding to a conflict situation at the reference level. Basically, options were proposed corresponding to the victim and predictive levels. For the formation of an anti-victim personality of a higher level, special training is required.

Keywords: anti-victim personality, sport, athlete's personality, levels of anti-victim personality, personality threats.
