Abstract
The paper discusses the results of an empirical study of the influence of the socio-psychological characteristics of academic student group upon the success of the educational activities of foreign students in Russian universities using the example of students studying in universities of the city of Kursk. The dependence between the nature of the leading attitudes towards educational and professional activities of foreign students at the university is shown on the level of development of the student academic group, which also acts as a subject of psychological assistance to foreign students who find themselves in new ethnocultural conditions.
Highlights
The aim of the investigation was to study the socio-psychological mechanisms of the influence of an academic student group on the success of the educational activities of foreign students
The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that it is possible for foreign students studying at a Russian university to have a value-semantic attitude towards a group as a subject of psychological assistance in a social environment for becoming an individual and a professional
This gave us the opportunity to empirically determine the differences in the severity of attitudes and their hierarchical position in groups of different levels of development, in connection with which we classified the studied student groups by analogy with the typology of groups in the parametric theory of small groups and groups depending on the level their socio-psychological maturity: highly developed groups close to highly developed groups - autonomy groups; sufficiently developed - cooperatives and insufficiently developed - associations [6]
