ядро и периферия социальных представлений

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.

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.
