Students Readiness For Changes As A Predictor Of Social Activity

Abstract

The article presents the results of a socio-psychological study, where we defined the significance and direction of the impact of indicators related to students readiness for changes on their social activity. The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of influence of students readiness for various changes in their lives on self-evaluation of the degree of ones own social activity. The sample consisted of 162 students receiving education at Russian universities. There were no migrants or foreign students in the sample. The median age is 20.12 years, the standard deviation is 1.22. The sample is formed using the method of simple randomized selection. Questionnaires and scaling (using the unique scales developed by the author) were used as research methods. All scales have undergone reliability check: α Cronbach = 0,5; χ2 Friedman = 712.5, with p 0.001. Students were asked based on a 10-point scale to assess their readiness for changes related to economy, changing their place of residence, moving to another city, changing their way of life, changes in politics, changing their social circle, and the degree of their social activity. It was revealed that students readiness for changes positively influences the assessment of the degree of their social activity. The most influential predictors of student social activity are readiness for changes in the economic sphere and willingness to change their way of life. Readiness to change place of residence and readiness for changes in politics increase social activity of students to a lesser extent.
