Короткий опис(реферат)
In the conditions of systemic social, and at the same time personal crisis,
accompanied by values relativization, the issue of searching the ways out of
this state is actualized in the scientific discourse. Overcoming the crisis
depends largely on a person who is able consciously to take responsibility for
the actions in the living space, which is created primarily by the personal
interactions. Therefore, the social responsibility problem, its formation
factors, impact on personal and psychosocial maturity has become
significantly relevant in the context of social psychology and at the
interdisciplinary level.
At the same time, the current socio-political situation in the country,
accompanied by military conflict, complex processes of civil society
development require an active social, civic, politically responsible position of
citizens, especially young people that is socio-demographic group, which acts
as a «barometer» of socio-economic and the political state of society and,
despite the particular opportunities expansion for self-determination and
individual development, it is experiencing spiritual devastation, selfishness,
infantilism. The latter leads to the deformation of the youth normative and
valuable sphere and require the specialists’ close attention.
Thus, the aim of our study is a comprehensive theoretical and methodological
analysis and conceptualization of Christian religious beliefs in sociopsychological and philosophical contexts as a factor in developing the social
responsibility of the individual.
The problem of social responsibility is closely related to the development in
moral and ideological spheres of personality, an important component of
which is the attitude as willingness to social activity and responsibility as a
result of these actions. The social attitudes analysis identifies those related to
religious spirituality and Christian morality i.e. Christian religious attitudes
that express personal position, conscious state of being, active human
attitude to the world in general and in particular to their self-realization.
Based on a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that Christian religious
attitudes in socio-psychological and worldview contexts are ideological
attitudes that are the need and willingness to treat and act to people, events,
phenomena, life, God considering the Christian morality based on faith and
love to God and neighbour. In addition, they can / should be perceived as
internal restraints: not freedom, but pseudo-freedom (permissiveness) and act
as a natural law of conscience, the desire for the highest, the moral intuition
of man.
