The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between indicators of civic identity and consumers’ preference. In order to test the hypothesis, a correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient) was performed, as well as a comparison of independent samples using the nonparametric Mann — Whitney coefficient were conducted. The sample consisted of 129 people aged 18 to 65 years: 47 men and 82 women. The results of the study confirmed the existence of a relationship/correlation. Based on the results it can be assumed that the higher the level of civic identity, the higher the preference for domestically produced goods.

The study of the psychological state of a modern transitive society requires clarification of the attitude to the uncertainty of students. The study determined the severity of a number of aspects of the attitude to uncertainty: tolerance and intolerance to uncertainty, risk-taking, dispositional optimism (in relation to the future) and satisfaction with life in the present. It was attended by teenagers studying in the 8th grade (14 years old, 80 people), high school students graduating from the 11th grade (17 years old, 80 people), students studying at the 2–3 courses of the university (20 years old, 77 people). The scales of tolerance and intolerance to uncertainty of S. Budner’s questionnaire, the scale of risk acceptance of D. A. Leontiev’s Test, the Test of dispositional optimism of M. Scheier, C. Carver and M. Bridges, the Scale of life satisfaction of E. Diner. It is shown that tolerance and intolerance to uncertainty in students of different ages and at different levels of education are expressed in almost equal (average) degree. The strongest link in a positive attitude to uncertainty is risk-taking, the weakest is dispositional optimism. The highest indicators of attitude to uncertainty were recorded among students.

Psychological boundaries of personality in relation to consumer behaviour changes in crisis situations have not been sufficiently studied. The study considered in this article consisted of 2 stages: in-depth interviews (10 people) and a survey using the author’s methodology for consumer behaviour changes and the Boundaries Questionnaire of E. Hartmann (123 people). As a result, two types of consumer behaviour changes were found: rational and impulsive. For people with an impulsive type of change in consumer behavior, psychological boundaries are thinner compared to people who have not experienced such changes. A separate study on a male sample also confirmed these findings - in men with an impulsive type of change, thin boundaries are more pronounced.

The success of student learning at university depends on the psychological well-being of students, the concept of which has not been sufficiently studied. The purpose of the work was to study the relationship between psychological factors of well-being of 1–2 year university students based on the use of tests: Psychological Well-Being Scale by C. Ryff; Test of life-meaning orientations; Vitality test; Tolerance of Uncertainty Questionnaire. Significant relationships between testing indicators were established: between the personal well-being of students and the factors of life-meaning orientation, resilience, control, presence of life goals and meaningfulness. Students with high well-being showed greater resilience and a positive attitude towards others and themselves, and had a positive attitude towards completing difficult tasks. a new approach to considering psychological well-being in the form of a benevolent attitude in life is proposed.

The work is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of internality of high school and junior college students living in different regions of Russia. The study involved 486 teenagers from 15 to 18 years old (M = 16,6; 307 girls): 234 schoolchildren (grades 10–11) and 252 college students (1–2 courses). The data were obtained using the “Level of subjective control” method (modified by A. G. Gretsov). It is shown that, in general, the sample of students aged 15–18 is characterized by an indefinite locus of control. It reflects the process of formation of subjective control as a higher mental function, relevant for this age, in the form of a transition to the internal plan of external control by others. This process is the content of the stage of formation of a personal position of a teenager in the field of significant life events, planning actions and responsibility for their actions. Regardless of the choice of further educational route after completing the basic stage of general education, modern boys and girls are generally not ready to take responsibility for their professional choice. When determining the trajectory of professionalization, the vast majority of older adolescents rely on random and external circumstances beyond their control. According to the data obtained, the factor of the region of residence makes the greatest contribution to the formation of the internality of modern adolescents. A hypothesis has been put forward that more complex socio-economic and environmental living conditions contribute to earlier maturation and independence of adolescents.
