Development of Moral Immunity among Students
In the modern conditions of the massive impact on the consciousness of the young generation of multidirectional social factors and influences, the development of moral immunity among students becomes of increased importance. The article notes insufficient development of this problem in modern psychological and pedagogical science. The authors offer their own approach to the interpretation of the concept of “moral immunity” as a special personal neoformation that performs the functions of providing psychological resistance to negative factors that can disrupt the normal course of development and socialization of an individual, as well as creating the basis for the formation of a stable moral position in relation to other people and oneself. In the structure of moral immunity, the value, sensory and moral components are distinguished. Based on the material of an empirical study of students with different professional orientation, it is shown that the last two components are characterized by a certain mismatch of their manifestations. The article reveals some areas of work with students that ensure the development of their moral immunity in the educational environment of the university.
