Comparative Analysis of Levels of Development of Moral Consciousness, Personal Autonomy and Valuable Orientations in Teenagers and Youth

Abstract

In this article, from the position of the age-psychological approach, the results of the study of the moral and value sphere in groups of adolescents and young people are presented. Adolescence and youth are sensitive periods in terms of the formation of a moral and value orientation that performs a regulatory function and defines sustainable value preferences and life principles that characterize a person’s life choices. A comparative analysis of the levels of development of moral judgments, personal autonomy and value orientations of adolescents and young people revealed the differences in the selected groups.
