Features of value orientations in the structure of the worldview of high school students

the article analyzes psychological and pedagogical studies of value orientations in the structure of the worldview of high school students. An empirical study was conducted in which 67 high school students of grades 10-11 participated, of which 28 were boys and 39 were girls. The Sh. Schwartz's questionnaire was used to study value orientations adaptation by V.N. Karandashev. The ranking indicators of the respondents' value orientations have been established. A qualitative analysis showed that high school students have a predominance of a personal focus of openness to change and a desire for self-affirmation. Comparative analysis did not confirm gender differences in value orientations in the structure of the worldview of high school students. Combinations of opposing value orientations in the structure of the worldview of high school students are revealed: on the one hand, the desire for an exciting and diverse life, on the other hand, understanding, tolerance and protection of the well-being of other people. The manifestations of independence conflict with the preservation of traditions and customs of culture and religion. Conflicting value orientations in the worldview of high school students are the desire for achievement, kindness versus the expression of self-affirmation values. Correlations between the indicators of "achievement" – "power", "conformity" – "tradition" and "security" – "universalism" are revealed. The indicator "safety" has correlations with all value orientations in the structure of the worldview of high school students.
