Abstract
Studying the life orientations of students is important for understanding the processes taking place in the minds of the younger generation, which is being formed under the influence of various factors and subjects.
The purpose of the study is to determine the characteristics and dynamics of the student youth’s life orientations based on their value and target priorities.
The results of the study of student life orientations and their dynamics demonstrated a shift in value priorities towards the values of individualization, as well as strengthening the position of adaptation values. The values of socialization related to social interaction and integration in society have receded into the background. On the one hand, bringing the values of individualization to the fore means stabilizing the socio-economic situation in the country, when young people can shift their focus from values that ensure survival to the values of self-improvement and self-actualization. On the other hand, the priority of individualization values marks the cultural and value transformation of Russian society, the risk of an intergenerational value gap. The analysis of the dynamics of gender differences in value orientations indicates the transformation of gender roles, the shift of the traditional focus for men from adaptation to individualization, as well as the increasing role of women in maintaining adaptation mechanisms.
