Abstract
This article examines the features of value orientations in adolescence. The author studied a wide range of areas in adolescent issues, and also applied a multi-level approach to the study of this issue, which made it possible to consider adolescents as a social phenomenon. A survey was conducted among schoolchildren of the ninth and tenth grades using the author’s proven methods to obtain information about the level of formation of the basic concepts of value orientations of the concept of “I” – “Positive and negative qualities” (D.A.Tulinov), the method of M.Rokich’s “Value orientations” and the questionnaire for the sociological study, which identifies the main points and problems of adolescence. The role of the formation of values in the psychological development of a person and the formation of a student’s personality in adolescence is also revealed. This problem is the most urgent nowadays, as recently we have been hearing more and more about the decline in values among the younger generation.
