Ideals as a dynamic basis of attitudes and their correlation with personal characteristics of university students

Abstract

This article analyses the results of the study of ideals as a dynamic basis for attitudes of university students. And shows on the basis of the obtained empirical results the diff erences in personal development of young people who have ideals and who do not have ideals. Based on a comparative analysis of groups of young people who have ideals and who do not have ideals, it shows diff erences in such personal characteristics as maturity of the person, refl ection, responsibility for one's life, the content of the temporal perspective, attitude to the country. It shows the similarity of both groups in the direction of improving themselves and others; attitudes to social norms and adherence to these norms. The results obtained have allowed the author to show the transition from an externally given example (ideal) to an internal self-regulation process on the basis of an individual personal example.

Keywords
