The value-motivational structure of the innovativeness of young students

Abstract

IntroductionIn our current society, the study of problems of demonstrating individual creativity has determined the necessity of creating new forms of management in personality development. To determine boundaries between personal success, effectiveness and efficiency, new leaders have emerged, whose activity can be beneficial and harmful to themselves and society. The prospect of psychological trends in character research is attributed to the identification of youth's value-motivational aspects of behavior and activities. Additionally, effective implementation of sociopsychological activity control technologies for the socio-economic development of society is involved as well.Russian and foreign scientists have indicated common psychological activities of an individual as idiosyncrasy markers (Golichenko, 2004). The success of self-fulfillment is determined by a set of personal qualities that enable a person to achieve effective results. The phenomenon of self-fulfillment, including educational and professional activities, is inextricably linked to self-development and the active management of personal resources. One of the markers that characterize the social performance of self-fulfillment is the innovativeness of a personality.An outstanding psychologist, Nebylitsin, defines a general mental individual activity as a psychological idiosyncrasy characteristic: Mass action means a bundle of personality traits that predetermine primary individual needs in effective factuality acquisition. Such a drive state can be presented either in mental, motor (including speech ability) or social (communication) contexts. Accordingly, a number of mass action types can be singled (Nebylitsyn, 1976, p. 251). Each activity type has a rather complicated multifactorial structure and various forms of psychological manifestations (Nebylitsin, 1976, p. 241). According to Nebylitsin's findings, the most current personality analysis trends are as follows: 1) the activity is considered to be an act of self-expression and an arrangement of initiation and self-actualization; 2) the activity is regarded to be an arrangement of the effective acquisition and reality transformation (i.e., it is viewed in a close mutual connection with the productivity of cooperation with the environment); 3) the activity comprises a dynamic procedural aspect; 4) the activity represents a personal aspect, which is determined by relationships and motivations of the individual, who manages its direction, quality and level; and 5) the qualitative features of individual activity are determined by its dominant view and expressed in a definite form (Krupnov, 1996).Consequently, contemporary personality psychology regards mental activity as a human activity characteristic. The activity can be viewed as a valuable way of modeling, structuring and actualizing communication and conduct by a personality. The activity is a characteristic of performance with an independent immediate power. It is expressed in free, conscious, internally necessary work. A bundle of socio-psychological traits and qualities determine activity and lets a personality manage it by means of values and motives. Consequently, socially oriented value-motivational creative activity can be considered (Mikhailova, 2010).Social and personal values stand out as a human activity mark that allows for estimating and using activity in relation to reality. The dualities of truth and lying, admissible and forbidden, and fair and unfair play an important role in a person's construction of demands and motives, idiosyncrasies and activities. The individual does not always apprehend values and does not lose the regulatory influence on personal enhancement (Zinchenko, 2010).The system of values constructs individual values and motives. Value-objective norms and mindsets influence the development of the motives that predetermine individual effectiveness.Innovative conduct is substantially predetermined by the peculiarities of values and motives, the structure of which has not yet been studied. …
