Self-preservation behavior of youth in the focus of sociological reflection
The paper analyzes the established approaches to the sociological study of self-preservative behavior through the prism of modern era conditions, in which subjectivity plays an important role in the life self-realization of young people. The conclusion is made that freedom of choice, determining the peculiarities of formation of values and behavioral attitudes in the field of health, naturally requires young people to be a demiurge of their own model of health and its preservation. At the same time, the importance of the external environment factor as objectively set also affects the formation of self-preservation behavior of young people, but with the priority positions of health self-assessment and attitude to it as a value.
