Abstract

The article presents the results of an empirical research, which purpose is to find differences in the components of moral activity, and in the correlations of these components, between groups of students from different faculties. The sample consisted of 79 students from the Chelyabinsk State University. 40 people are students of the Faculty of Psychology and Pedagogy and 39 are students of the Institute of Law. The main hypothesis is the assumption that there are significant differences between the components of moral activity in people who have chosen different paths of professional development. The study discovered a number of significant differences (p <0,05). Also within the framework of the study, we found correlations between the components of moral activity of two groups, and, as a result of this, carry out a comparative analysis. Based on the results of the study, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the existence of differences in the moral sphere among people who have chosen different paths of professional development in their lives.
