Особенности саморегуляции у студентов, использующих с различной частотой ненормативную лексику

Abstract

In modern society, profanity has an ambivalent status: its public use remains taboo, but at the same time its functional meaning is expanding and the degree of permissibility of its use in colloquial speech is increasing. The problem of using profanity is most acute among young people. Despite the large number of works on this topic, there are very few studies devoted to the relationship of the use of profanity with various personal characteristics. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of self-regulation in students who use profanity with varying frequency. The study sample: 80 students of St. Petersburg humanities, average age 20,2 years. Research methods: questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior - SSP-98” by V. I. Morosanova and an author's questionnaire aimed at identifying the frequency of use of profanity by students and their environment, as well as to identify the attitude of students to the use of profanity in various situations. As a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the use / non-use of profanity by the family and the reference group (friends) acts as a risk factor / protection factor in relation to their own frequency of use of profanity. A tendency to decrease the frequency of use of profanity among students with increasing age has been revealed. The frequency of profanity usage correlates with the students' self-regulation style. The regulation of one's own behavior is related to an external factor - the model of behavior of friends in relation to profanity. The results obtained allow us to formulate possible ways to reduce the frequency of use of profanity.
