Psychological Features of Development of the Value Component of Students’ Personal Identity
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to investigate the features of development of the value component of personal identity in student age empirically. Methods of the research. For the research there were used the following theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization of theoretical and empirical data on the research problem; empirical ones like testing by methods: “Methodology for personal identity research” (Колесніченко, 2020); “Methodology for diagnosis the level of reflexivity development” (Колесніченко, 2020); “Portrait of Values” (Семків, 2013); “Self-Assessment Questionnaire Test” (Сенчина, 2019); methods of mathematical statistics: descriptive statistics, correlation analysis. Results of the research. It has been established that the students under study have the identity status “Moratorium”, which is characterized by an identity crisis. The study of the value orientations has shown that the values of hedonism, kindness, and achievement are priorities for today’s student youth. In the course of the study of self-attitude, such components as self-respect, autosympathy and self-interest have been analyzed. It has been found that the studied students have an average level of self-respect. Self-sympathy of the subjects has an average level: in general, students are characterized by a favorable attitude towards themselves. Indicators of students’ self-interest are at a level higher than the average, which indicates the presence of a stable cognitive attitude to one’s own “Self”, interest in one’s own thoughts and feelings. It has been established that the average level of development of reflexivity prevails among student youth: students reflect on their current activities, are inclined to introspection in certain life situations. Conclusions. The conducted correlation analysis has confirmed the presence of significant positive relationships between the selected components of the value component of identity and the general status of identity. This indicates that value orientations, self-attitude and reflexivity can act as meaningful components of the value component of students’ personal identity, which has confirmed the proposed assumption.
