Keywords:
value orientations, life and professional values, social justice, adolescence, students of higher education institutions.Abstract
The article is focused on the theoretical analysis of studies of the ‘social justice’ phenomenon in the context of moral, ethical and professional values of the individual and empirical determination of its significance in the system of values of higher education students of various specialities. It has been established that justice in psychological science is explained as a condition for the moral and ethical formation of a personality; as a higher need, value, motivational factor that acts as an incentive to moral actions; as a component of morality in solving socially significant issues; as an emotional reaction to manifestations of justice/injustice; as well as a value attitude towards another person that enables and creates conditions for the disclosure of potential and personal development. The objective and subjective factors of the formation of the sense of “justice/injustice” are revealed. It is found that a person's substantive and value-based attitude to social justice is manifested through his/her value-based attitude to himself/herself as a bearer of just actions, as well as through the attitude to other individuals to whom these actions are addressed. In adolescence, moral beliefs are formed by comparing moral ideas with real life situations. The article empirically reveals differences in the rating indicators of the value of “brotherhood, equal opportunities for all, justice” among students of higher education institutions of different specialities. It is stated that for students of history, social justice is clearly defined, its significance is deeply understood and it is directly included in the structure of professionally significant values, while for students of the Faculty of Physical Culture and the Institute of Ukrainian Philology and Journalism, this value is not directly distinguished, but its semantic components are clearly traced through the dominance of other values. It is proved that the specificity of the career chosen determines the system of values and the importance of the category of justice for the upcoming specialist.
