DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS ON THE STAGES OF A YOUNG PERSON`S MORAL CHOICE

Abstract

The article outlines the specifics of the implementation on the stages to moral choice under the influence of moral values that act as psychological determinants of its implementation in adolescence. The scientific achievements of Ukrainian researchers who have studied various aspects of the formation of young people's value attitude towards others and their moral development, the essence of each stage of moral choice, and its psychological determinants are analyzed. A comparative quantitative and qualitative analysis of the influence of moral values on the stages of choice in the experimental group is demonstrated. Using the methods of mathematical statistics, the correlations relationships between moral values and stages of moral choice have been established, which reflect certain changes between the indicators before and after the development program for boys and girls. In the process of performing various psychological tasks, young people intensified the development of moral values, which increased the effectiveness of assimilation of moral knowledge and behavior self-regulation. The most effective way to increase the level of moral knowledge of the individual and develop the ability to apply it in their own moral experience was to solve moral dilemmas. The latter made it possible to create the most realistic conditions for a difficult situation, in which boys and girls actualized their moral values and made an independent, conscious moral choice. The outlined changes confirmed the influence of psychological determinants on the stages of moral choice, which will allow a deeper dive into the specifics of making moral choice and actualize the process of developing the moral consciousness of young people. At the same time, it was noted that the process of assimilation of moral values, on the basis of which the stages of moral choice are carried out, was not activated in a certain part of the subjects researched. Accordingly, we observe the prospects for further research in the study of psychological mechanisms of moral values development, development and implementation of effective methodological recommendations for psychologists and teachers that will contribute to the activation of the formation of moral values in the personality of youth.
