student youth

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that young people’s ideas of success characterize their sphere of purposes and aspirations and serve as a regulator for their concept of self-determination and self-realization in a rapidly and varyingly changing social reality. Success orientation includes an evaluative interpretation of the results achieved and attitudes towards them, which is conditioned by the need to solve personal and socially signifi cant tasks.

The aim of the research presented in this article is to study the regulative and ideological factors of different forms of social activity among students. The empirical study is carried out on a sample of students (N = 236), including high school students of general secondary schools (N = 118) and university students from Saratov and Saratov Oblast. We used a complex of psychodiagnostical tools to register various forms of social activity and degree of manifestation using a special questionnaire (by I. V. Arendachuk, E. E. Bocharova, A. I. Zagranichniy et al).
