VALUE-SENSE ORIENTATIONS AS A FACTOR OF
STUDENTS-PSYCHOLOGISTS’ BEHAVIOR FORMATION

The paper deals with the study of the peculiarities of students-psychologists’ sense sphere, as this phenomenon of human consciousness penetrates all spheres of life and leads to manifestations of life disorientations in youth. There has been conducted an empirical research basing on the following research methods: Diagnostics of the Real Structure of Value Orientations of Personality by S. Bubnov, Life-Sense Orientations Test (LSO) by A. Leontiev, Values Test by Sh. Schwartz (Valuable Questionnaire (VQ)), Proneness to Deviant Behavior Inventory by A. Orel; as well as methods of mathematical statistics (Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient). The sample consisted of 44 students of the 1st and 2nd years of studying, majoring in Practical Psychology, National Aviation University, Kyiv. The obtained results have revealed that the higher the level of proneness to overcome norms and rules is, the higher levels of high social status, social activity, communication, life process, goals of life, material well-being, recognition and respect, power, autonomy and achievement, and lower levels of conformity, universality and security are. Besides, the higher the level of addictive human behavior is, the higher the level of the desire for mercy, universalism, the need for security is, and the lesser levels of social activity, communication, power, locus of self-control, achievement, and kindness are. Thus, there is a statistically significant correlation relationship between predisposition to aggressive behavior and value-sense orientations, and self-attitude.
