Psychological Basis Of Subjectivity Organization And Evaluation In Adolescence And Youth

Abstract

Social psychological factors affecting teenagers and youth mentality are under research. The main point is subjectivity and educational motivation factors supporting ideas of social determination of superior mental functions by L.Vygotsky and A.Leontyev. Teenagers’ estimation of objects and classmates is considered as a process depending on the social group character, determining estimation categories. Data access for 1243 candidates after matrix analysis showed (t-criterion) that Eastland teenagers’ estimations (Alma-Ata, Kysyl) go more along with the average group estimations. Due to historical reasons the East person is not ready to oppose himself to the group and expects its patronage. Western teenagers’ estimations (Moscow and suburbs) do not so much agree with the average group opinion. During their evolution they often change groups and start targeting their self-appraisal. Parent family type impact on student personality research showed valuable distinctions in personal estimations of students from different patrimonial family types. The more it goes along with the nuclear family the less students tend to organize their activities according to their subjective feelings. Educational motivation in different family types showed that students from patrimonial families try to get profound knowledge and win appraisal of relatives, while students from nuclear families try to get diploma and become a high skilled specialist.

Introduction

Considered regional features of personal activities for East and West parts of UIS and found valuable distinctions in teenagers’ estimation and self-appraisal process there (Shabelnikov, 2014).

UIS East region is characterized by destruction of traditional patrimonial family, but the ritual of collective activities is still actual. So, estimation here goes along with group intercommunication strengthening that gives similar estimations for the person and the whole group.

Person’s habitation in West region supposes individual social activity choice. Individual estimation, which is different from social group estimations, helps to strengthen oneself in his group (Shabelnikov, 2014).

The subject for study of agency investigation (Tokareva, 2014) was dependency of youth personal agency on determining influence of parent family (nuclear and extended). It is the first social interaction system which involves a child from his first days. The screening group was formed for the same activity type – studying at a university.

Theory about different family types and different activity motivation types supposes that motivation for studying depends on family type of the youth and his functional involvement in his family. High level of involvement into family relations (patrimonial family) doesn’t help to motivate for studying and starting professional activities. The main interests and activity motivation are connected with family relations and functional involvement into the family.

For nuclear family type supposing high level of individual motivation of family members and family hierarchy destruction youth usually tries to be involved into professional activities more intensively. The problem of functional involvement into professional community is considered as a problem of accepting new functions in a new type of social group.

Problem Statement

Modern world supposes more complex social interaction and co-ordination of different groups estimations. Making of mutual decisions needs certain analysis of personal estimation and taking into account partners’ estimation logic. However, it doesn’t really take place and it produces misunderstanding between subjects and even states. Studying of estimation mechanism, its structure and functional features in different regions will regulate social conflicts.

Reference analysis shows that family, as a determining factor of personal activity organization, is considered by classics of foreign and Russian science. Fundamental role of a family in personal growing up is focused by modern authors. However, problems of family impact on activities organization and education motivation are still unconsidered.

Research Questions

• How do youth social groups from East and West UIS regions impact on the process of estimation of objects and mates?

• Do any differences in forming personal agency of students depending on the level of involvement in patrimonial family?

• Are there any valuable differences of youth educational motivations depending on the type of involvement into parent family?

Purpose of the Study

The first research goal is to make clear the difference between objects and mates’ estimation by teenagers of East or West regions of UIS.

The second research goal is the study of impact of parent family type on organization of personal subjectivity in their life.

The third research goal is to find the interaction between functional involvement into parent family and educational motivation of students.

Findings

Conclusion

Social-psychological factors affecting the psychology of teenagers and youth, namely their estimation, agency and education motivation, were discovered during the research.

Social estimation components obtained during the research (location, determination groups) help to understand the reasons of different estimations of objects and events by teenagers from different regions of UIS.

Subjectivity of extended families’ representatives is connected with their attention to internal world. Meanwhile nuclear families’ representatives tend to pay attention to external living conditions. It is because interpersonal relations in extended family are more mismatching the student activities, than in nuclear family. Extended family representatives suffer more difficulties with activities beyond their family. Nuclear family representatives are more involved in modern social activities.

Investigation of students’ educational motivation showed, that nuclear family students with low inclusive rate into family relations tend to obtain profession and begin their own professional activity. Patrimonial family representatives tend to organize future professional activity usually with assistance of their family.
