The modern educational space is dynamic, which requires students to be able to adopt quickly to the ongoing transformations. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that psychological qualities that largely determine a person's attitude to change and are a resource of involvement in conditions of uncertainty (rigidity, tolerance to uncertainty, readiness for innovation, motivation for success) of students of Far Eastern universities have not been sufficiently studied. On the basis of an empirical study conducted on the basis of Amur State University and the Far Eastern Federal University, it was shown that a significant part of the students of both educational institutions have moderately expressed actual and attitudinal rigidity, there is a moderate emotional rejection of novelty. Most of the students show a tolerance for uncertainty, but the students of the regional university are more oriented towards rules and norms. Almost all students are ready for innovative activities at the middle and above average levels, however, students of a regional university are more willing to changes. About half of the respondents are motivated to achieve success. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the majority of students, in general, have a positive attitude towards the changes, the differences between students of regional and federal universities in the parameters under consideration are minimal.
