Features of motivational structure of civil activity of teenagers with different status of civil identity

Introduction: the article presents the results of the research of the structure of motivation of civic activity of adolescents at different stages of the formation of civic consciousness. Civil identity is a stable basis of civil society and has the strategic importance for the successful future of the Russian state. In modern conditions authoritarian principles of socialization institutions are no longer acceptable. It is necessary to look for ways of formation of civil activity through mechanisms of internal motivation of the person.

Materials and methods: the author's questionnaire was used to determine the status of civil identity of adolescents. To determine the motivation of civic activity, the method of identifying the motivational structure of socially useful activities of a teenager developed by O. V. Lishin on the basis of the LMT test by V. Hennig was used. The mathematical analysis of structural connections between motives was carried out by means of calculation of coefficients of rank correlation of Spearman.

The results of the research: the following features of changes in the motivation of civil activity in the transition from lower status of civil identity (diffuse and assigned) to a higher (achieved): there is a decrease in the integration between individual motives and, accordingly, a decrease in their activity in the mechanisms of regulation of civil behavior; correlation between group motives reflect the dynamics of changes in the perception of high school students of the social environment as part of civil society; the integration of social motives and their differentiation in relation to motives of other types is revealed; there is a reduction and change in the content of correlations between motives of different types, which gives different meanings to the manifestation of civil activity at different levels of formation of civil identity.

Discussion and conclusions: in the process of formation of civic consciousness in the transition from the lower status of civic identity (diffuse and assigned) to a higher (achieved) there is a change in the content of structural ties of motives and differentiation of the structure of motivation of civic activity of adolescents.
