The category of success in the socio-cultural context of a person's status identity

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the category of success in the coordinates of the status identity of a person in the socio-cultural space. Multilevel correlations of resources, motivations and status in terms of creating the foundation for success in life are revealed. The close relationship between the category of success and status identity is determined by a complex of factors that determine the balance of personal and social in it. In the course of the study, it was found that the determination of the prospects for a person to achieve success is due to his status identity. Status identity captures the proximity of an individual to the distribution of various resources (material values, power and education, access to information), allowing the individual to realize a set of actions aimed at success that must be implemented in physical reality. It has been determined that the individual psychological qualities inherent in a person (abilities, talent, giftedness, motivation and axiological personal system) and sociocultural characteristics (social status, level of education, professional characteristics, level of material well-being, demographic indicators, etc.) contribute to the realization of life success. The resource level and the status identity associated with it largely determine the likelihood of success, but one should not exclude the importance of having personal motivation. An individual's awareness of himself and his own status identity allows him to correctly formulate goals and determine the resources that are necessary to achieve her acquired status as the highest level of status identity. The dynamics of a person's status identity forms a variety of connections with the category of success, which makes the study of success and success in life in their actual forms in the modern sociocultural space particularly relevant
