%0 Journal Article %T Professionalism in the hierarchy of young people*s lives according to the value theory %A Vera Boronenko %J Psychology, Society & Education %D 2009 %I Association for the Advancement of Psychology and Education (AAPE) %X From methodological point of view, high evaluation of professionalism in people∩s value hierarchy is considered to be corresponding to the demands of market economy and is required for successful integration of people into the modern social economic environment. Young people 每 ※professionals§, those who have chosenprofessionalism as one of seven most important life priorities, are considered to be a typological group in comparison with the rest of the young people with an aim to determine the share of ※the typical§ in the life value hierarchies of young people 每 ※professionals§. The results of the survey conducted in Daugavpils region have showed that the typological group of young people 每 ※professionals§ is quantitatively rather small; however it has its own specific features, especially when it concerns subjective self-evaluations 每 these are, as a rule, people who are more satisfied with many aspects of life, more optimistic and more successful. The main life values of young people 每 ※professionals§ are equivalent to the typical values of the rest of the young people; however, ※professionals§ at the same time consider active social lifevalues to be significant ones as well. %K professionalism %K value theory %K typical values %K youth %K value hierarchy %U http://www.psye.org/articulos/Boronenkodef.pdf
