Specifics of Value Orientations of Future Specialists of the Socionomic Sphere

<p>The article presents an analysis of the specifics of the value orientations of future specialists in the socionomic sphere on the basis of the Arzamas branch of the National University of Economics. The materials of an empirical study of the relationship between students’ value orientations and their time perspective in junior courses (n = 120, age 18-21) are presented. As a result, it was revealed that students’ preferred values are those aimed at self-development, achieving their own success, and improving the quality of life. Values aimed at building relationships with other people, on the contrary, are insignificant to them. Most students are focused on the present, striving to satisfy their needs, but at the same time they often recall negative events and emotions from the past, while the future seems far away to them. The features of students’ value orientations with different prevailing time factors are also revealed. According to the data obtained, it can be concluded that modern students are facing a crisis of value attitudes.</p>
