Socio-psychological characteristics of self-fulfillment of youth and its resilience: internal and external dimensions

Abstract

The article examines the socio-psychological features of youth self-realization and its sustainability in internal and external dimensions. The specifics and difficulties of studying the problem of self-realization of young people are determined by the growing mediation of the social realization of young people by socio-cultural factors. In this study of the problems of social and personal development of youth, it is appropriate to use a sociocultural approach, within which social processes are considered from the standpoint of their determination by elements of the cultural process (values, norms, models, beliefs, knowledge). It is the sociocultural approach that makes it possible to study the self-realization of youth through the analysis of the value orientations of the individual as the main motivational and meaningful mechanisms of self-affirmation that direct and regulate their life activities, which becomes especially relevant in the era of social changes and the complication of public life. The study of social and cultural factors affecting the process of self-realization of an individual creates opportunities for adequate generalization of disparate facts in the field of social development of youth and identification of trends in the implementation of social self-realization of modern young people. Realization of personal values is carried out in the process of life, the main spheres of which are educational and professional activity, socio-political activity, the sphere of family and household relations and leisure. Hierarchy of values-goals of the individual, concentrated in each of the spheres of life, determines the inequality of these spheres for its self-realization. The most significant spheres of self-realization of young people are the family-household and educational-professional spheres related to the vital needs of young people. Key words: youth, self-realization, hardiness.
