<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective.</strong> To identify the role of commitment to various forms of social activity in the expression of student youth identities and their consistency. <br><strong>Background.</strong> Social activity is the sphere of socialization of young people. Therefore, in the process of its implementation, various socio-psychological formations of the individual are formed. One of the most important is social and personal identity, considered in this study as the effects of social activity. The most important task is to study the role of involvement in various forms of activity in the formation of social identity and the stability of the personal role identity of young people. Such scientific knowledge will allow to establish the potential of social activity in the formation of youth identity. <br><strong>Study design.</strong> The factor structure of social identity and the relationship between types of identity and forms of social activity were studied. To establish the types of identity, factor analysis was used, the presence and nature of the relationship were recorded through correlation and regression analyses. <br><strong>Participants.</strong> 442 residents of Russia (average age 21,8; 33,5% men, 66,5% women). <br><strong>Measurements. </strong>Questionnaire, including 18 scale questions, meaningfully describing the forms of social activity (R.M. Shamionov, etc.); 17 categories of social identity, identified on the basis of preliminary piloting; methodology of stability of personal-role identity (E.A. Petrash, V.B. Nikishina). <br><strong>Results. </strong>Various categories of social identity form 4 enlarged groups (types) based on factor analysis. Various forms of social activity of young people form 4 enlarged groups (types) based on factor analysis: identity – personal, Internet-user, political and civil-family identity. The effects of combinations of different forms of social activity is the formation of a particular type of social identity. Forms of social activity explain from 21% to 36% of variations in social identity. The most pronounced relationship between the stability of personal-role identity was found with civic identity. <br><strong>C</strong><strong>onclusions.</strong> The inclusion of students in certain forms of social activity can contribute to the formation of various types of identity and achieve a certain level of them. It is also established that the consistency of personal-role identity is positively conditioned by religious and family-household activity, and protest, spiritual and leisure forms contribute to its decrease.</p> |
