A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PERSONAL VALUE-AND-CONCEPTUAL SPHERE IN AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: The article presents social and cultural peculiarities of the personal value-and-conceptual sphere of American and Russian students. The content-related specifics demonstrate differences in the ranking of such values as freedom, health, cognition and close friendship within the general hierarchy of personal values. The dynamic specifics, in their turn, reveal themselves in different perceptions of attainability of values as well as in the level of their realizability in practice. The latter is significantly higher in American students. The results of this research show that in the process of education, American students find themselves in the existential phase of conceptual realization of their life goals. Russian students, on the other hand, are still in the process of conceptual search and making their choice of life perspectives.
