Features of personal subjective attitude to significant values of university students

Introduction. The personal subjective attitude to different aspects of a human’s life is one of the key components of his mental organization, because it’s a link between the objective manifestations of the psyche and the individual’s internal personal position. The basis of personal subjective attitude is social conditions and relationships of the individuum with society. Despite this, the personal position in relation to these conditions is individual and may not coincide with objectively manifested behavior. The problem is more important when the individual rates his own personal qualities, where the level of personal subjective attitude can change to the different human characteristics, that he shows in behavior. The personal value sphere may be one of these characteristics. The problem is relevant in university student research, because the period of professional education is significant in personal development. The article presents the research of the differences in the personal subjective attitude level to significant values of university students.

Materials and Methods. The purpose of the research is to find and study the differences in the personal subjective attitude to significant values of university students. The sample is 59 students of first course at the age of 17-21, 24 men and 35 women. To spot significant values we use a Schwarz's Method for studying personality values, and to identify the level of the personal subjective attitude to significant values, according to results of Schwarz’s Method, we constructed narrative situations.

Results. For university students the significant values were: «Hedonism», «Benevolence» and «Self-Direction», which corresponds to relationships in which they are involved. The comparison of the personal subjective attitude level shows the statistically significant differences between all values (p < 0,001).

Discussion and Conclusions. Value «Benevolence» shows highest personal subjective attitude level and «Hedonism» shows the lowest one. That shows heterogeneity in the personal subjective attitude level to significant values of university students.
