Value system of female students studying at pedagogical universities with different levels of antisocial creativity

Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of this research is due to the need to identify predictors of implementation of negative creative ideas in future teachers’ activity. The research purpose is to analyze the link between the level of antisocial creativity and values of two levels: as standardized ideals and individual priorities. Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Moscow City Pedagogical University and in the State-Funded Educational Institution “Omsk State Pedagogical University” (N=109) using the following methods: a questionnaire “Behavioral Features of Antisocial Creativity” (by M. Ranko as adapted by N.V. Meshkova, S.N. Enikolopova, O.V. Mitina and others) and the Basic Individual Values Scale by Sh. Schwartz. Student’s t-test was conducted to compare data in each group and two polar (contrast) groups. Research results. It was revealed that with a similar set of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities, among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, at the level of standardized ideals, the value of “tradition” is the most insignificant value (2.56), among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – “power” (3.1), the most significant value in both groups is the value of “independence” (5.41 and 5.29). At the level of values as individual priorities among students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “hedonism” (2.92), the most insignificant one is “tradition” (0.72); among students with a low level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “independence” (2.7), the most insignificant one is “power” (0.58). Female students of pedagogical specialties with a high level of antisocial creativity have significantly lower values related to social focus (the value of tradition – 2.56, while in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 3.56; temp = 2.2, p≤0.05; safety – 4.36, in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 5.05, temp = 2.3, p≤0.05), and the values of personal focus are significantly higher (“power” – 1.85, in the group of female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 0.58; temp = 2.9, p≤0.05). At the level of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most insignificant values are the values of social focus – “tradition”, among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – an individual focus on “power”. Research prospects. The identification of personal predictors of antisocial creativity in future teachers, both female and male students, as well as environmental factors contributing to the manifestation and overcoming of antisocial creativity in the pedagogical activity, is of particular importance.
