Recent theories have highlighted the relevance of the moral self-concept (MSC) for prosocial behavior. Its early development and internal structure is still unknown, though. With two studies, we aimed to investigate the structure of the MSC in early childhood. Furthermore, we explored prosocial behavioral correlates (helping, sharing, comforting). In a first study, we explored four- to six-year-olds (N = 127). We assessed explicit (puppet-interview) and implicit (IAT) measures of the MSC and observed child behavior. Our results show that MSC was independent from other self-concept domains. The three prosocial dimensions (helping, sharing and comforting) appear to be represented within the MSC separately. While the IAT yielded no significant relations with behaviors, the explicit MSC was meaningfully related to prosocial behavior. The second study (N = 314) underscores the results of the first, by replicating the factor structure of the MSC in confirmatory factor analysis. In conclusion, the studies underscore the MSC’s different dimensions and their relations to prosocial behaviors in preschool children.

The article covers the problem of teenagers’ meaning of life values in theory and practice. "Meaning of life values" are interpreted as a system of generalized aspirations related to the individuals’ life that characterize their spiritual and moral self-concept, the search for their own life purpose and appropriate lifestyle, which is fulfilled through behaviour, activities and communication. The concept of developing teenagers’ meaning of life values includes methodological, theoretical, and practical levels. The modern process of developing teenagers’ meaning of life values is based on systemic, synergetic, axiological, humanistic, personality oriented, competency-based scientific approaches. Research methods such as analysis, generalization, surveys, questionnaires, interviews, ethical conversations, pedagogical observation were used to demonstrate the changes in developing teenagers’ meaning of life values and show the advantages of applied pedagogical conditions, forms and methods.
