Social Changes аnd Dynamics оf Individual Values оf Young People

Abstract

Aim. To determine changes in the hierarchy of individual values of Dagestan youth over the past eight years and the trend in their dynamics. Method. Schwartz's method for studying personal values. Personality Profile and Portrait Value Questionnaire, PVQ-RR. Results. The value system of Dagestan youth has undergone some changes, the main one of which is that personal safety has become more important, at the same time there has been a positive shift in the ideas of youth about the role of individual contribution (as opposed to group orientation) in achieving social success. Conclusions. The system of individual values of Dagestan youth as a whole retains a structure in which socially oriented motivational goals associated with self-overcoming dominate, however, in recent years the value of personal security has acquired greater importance in them. Collectivist values compete in the hierarchy of dominant values with the values of openness to change and self-affirmation. The hierarchy of motivational goals reflects the contradictory attitude of Dagestan youth to conservative values and values of self-affirmation: personal safety and reputation are highly important to them, and at the same time, the values of conformity and tolerance are rejected.
