The present article discusses the problem of forming the basics of environmental consciousness in the children of primary school age. It describes practical experimental work which has been car­ried out with the younger students of city schools. Diagnostics of school children has been carried out by means of the «Naturafil» method developed by V. A. Yavsin. This method is aimed primar­ily at identifying child’s personal attitude to nature. Evaluation of child’s attitude intensiveness is performed by perceptual-affective, cognitive, practical and progressive scales.

The paper explores the phenomenon of «resources»: psychological mechanisms of actualizing the subject’s «internal conditions» and «external conditions» as resources, levels of activity and interaction of the subject in the «subject – environment» system, a measure of intensity of these interactions and possibilities of accumulating their «critical mass», people’s mental states resulting from «subjectgenerating » interactions and conducive to generating resources.
