| Аннотация | The article substantiates the socio-cultural approach to the study of self-regulation contradictions
of youth’s activity. The developed approach considers the process of forming the meanings that determine
the content orientation of self-regulation contradictions in changing reality. As a source for youth’s
development, the authors analyze contradictions between cultural and social, unconscious and conscious,
traditional and modern, objective and subjective. The researchers carry out the empirical testing of the
developed concept on the basis of the study results in relation to education, labor and family. Both
conservative and constructive components become evident in the clash of culture and the social. The
conservative component is associated with situations of various forms of economic restrictions, while the
constructive one is related to rationalizing youth’s attitude to education, labor and family, and searching
for alternative ways to resolve contradictions. The contradiction between the unconscious and the
conscious manifests itself as a conflict of essences – terminal, self-valuable, instrumental and rational attitude to the objects of reality. The contradiction between the traditional and the modern appears in
different ways in education, labor, and family. In education, traditional educational values are devalued;
there are no conditions for strengthening the modern ones. In labor, the historically formed contradiction
of its instrumental and terminal essence persists. In family relations, there is a sharp discrepancy between
the youth’s desire for modern forms of family creation and the traditional forms that dominate in
the society. The contradiction between the objective and the subjective in various spheres reflects the
existing problems of objective reality and the subjective youth’s attitude toward them. Empirically, the
authors analyze the contradictions based on the results of comparative sociological studies conducted
in 2014 and 2017. |
