Research focuses on studying social representations of students about conscience. The use of two complementary research methods of social representations reveals both conscious and rational opinions about the young people of conscience and poorly conscious mean­ings and associations connected with the phenomenon of conscience. The results showed that the core of representations of young people of conscience has a positively stained category as a conscious and the conscious in weak form.

The article views the interrelation between strategies of coping with stress, satisfaction with social support and the ideas of elderly people about conscience, which act as a reflection of the assertion of moral values in the respondent’s daily life. The study involved 55 elderly people, whose average age was 62.4 years, among them 40 women and 15 men.
