The article is devoted to the analysis of the prerequisites and design of the methodology for correcting the stereotypical behavior of students of departmental universities of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, who have identified the error "waiting for a shot" when performing training exercises from combat hand-held small arms. The stress factors of the shot combined with the negative reinforcement in the form of stimulating measures by the officers of the course level lead to the formation of avoiding behavior in the students and, as a result, stereotypical thinking programming them for an unsatisfactory result. The methodology proposed in the article for correcting stereotypical behavior consists of three sequentially performed stages and is based on methods of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the regulation of mental state through exercise. The introduction of such a methodology into the educational process, in our opinion, will effectively combat the "waiting for a shot" error by correcting stereotypical behavior.
