Value Orientations of a Person in the Context of Perception of the Other

The rapid development of modern societies, the multi-layered nature of intercultural relations, as well as immigration and emigration processes, demonstrate the need to study and shed new light on the perception of the other in psychological science. Over time, the ideas about the other have changed; therefore, a multifaceted analysis of perceptions of the other in modern society is essential. This article examines the value orientations of individuals in the contemporary Armenian environment, which are shaped by their perception of others. Theoretical models of value orientations have been analysed, and modern manifestations of orientations have been subjected to comparative analysis with the ideas about the psychological sovereignty of a person. As a result of qualitative and quantitative analysis, it has become possible to reveal the complex of dichotomous notions of “self-the other”, which has been studied among modern Armenian youth.
