Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of political interest and political socialization of modern society. The aim of the study was to identify the peculiarities of the affective-evaluation component of the political socialization of modern youth, represented by students of higher educational institutions studying in 3-4 courses. The main methods used are the projective technique “Non-existent Animal,” adapted for the purposes of the study, as well as the questionnaire for determining the level of political interest. 50 students of higher education institutions of the Republic of Crimea aging from 18 to 24 took part in the research. The study revealed significant differences in personal positions regarding power, their relationship to the experience of participation in political activities, and the prevalence of the position of open aggression of political power against the individual of a citizen. The affective-evaluation component of the political socialization of modern youth gives power to a number of certain signs that exclude the participation of the individual in the political life of the country. The low level of youth participation in the political life of the country is due to the peculiarities of their political perceptions of power. Such features include stereotypical perceptions of power and their overburdening with unaffordable state symbols, the association of power with crime, and identification with the economic sphere. The study revealed the peculiarities of the affective-evaluation component of the political socialization of young people, differentiated perceptions of power in the perception of modern youth. The obtained results suggest that it is the affective-evaluation component of political socialization that has a significant influence on the formation of motivation and attitudes in the perception of political power, forms political ideas about it and sets the vector of obtaining information and policy in general. The results of the study are of particular importance not only for the practical psychologist’s professional activity, but for the work in the political sphere, in particular for correcting the image of politics.
