The article is devoted to predicting and preventing urban vandalism. In the article described current state of research on structure of vandalism – motives, attitudes, ideas. It is shown that the activity approach can serve as a theoretical basis for study of the internal plan of vandal actions. On its basis, a theoretical model is determined, including the motive of vandalism and the ideas that regulate its implementation. These are the subjective value of vandal action and value that subject attaches to vandal action. The organisation, procedure and results of empirical research are described. Using a sample of young people living in 106 Russian cities (n = 650 people), we study the relationship between subjective ideas about the ability to commit a vandal act, its motives, attributed value and meaning. The results show that there is a conjugate effect of these representations on subjective ability to behave like a vandal. Their interpretation shows the presence of opposite approaches to the assessment of vandalism – from rejection to acceptance.

The article is devoted to the study of the correlation between various types of socially dangerous behavior of students and their emotional intelligence in adolescence. The relevance of this study depends on the growing problem of ensuring security in educational institutions, which is confirmed by the annual tragic events committed by students in Russian schools and colleges. The purpose of the study is to test the correlation between the propensity of adolescents for various types of socially dangerous behavior and their emotional intelligence. The theoretical basis of the study was the modern data of Russian and foreign scientists on the connection of aggressive, deviant, victim behavior with various manifestations of emotional intelligence. The empirical study was conducted in 2020 to test the assumption that a low level of emotional intelligence development is a predictor of various forms of deviant behavior of adolescent students. The sample consisted of 793 adolescents at the age of 13-15. The method of organizing the study is a mass screening examination. Data collection was conducted using the inventory “Propensity to deviant behavior” by Leus E.V. and Solovyov A.G. and the “Questionnaire on emotional intellect Emin” by Lusin D.V. The obtained results allowed us to characterize the propensity of adolescents of the studied sample to the main types of socially dangerous behavior (delinquent, aggressive, self-injurious, etc.) and showed that more than a third of students have a low level of emotional intelligence. A reliable feedback relationship has been established between the tendency to deviant behavior and emotional intelligence: the lower its level in adolescent students, the higher their tendency to the studied types of socially dangerous behavior.

The article is devoted to the study and popularization of billiards among modern student youth as one of the types of game sports. The purpose of the research is to study the influence of playing billiards on the psychophysical state of student youth. The authors of the article set out the main trends associated with the increase in the level of physical development of modern students. Quite an important problem of the modern lifestyle is the gradual deterioration in the health of young people. In recent years, there has been a negative trend towards an increase in the number of young people with health problems and low levels of health. Despite the existing physical culture classes in higher and secondary educational institutions, the state of health of students is mainly deteriorating. This can be due to insufficient physical loads in classes, incorrect distribution of physical exercises, non-creative approach to the subject, or classes in general that can be carried out simply formally. An important task of modern education is to instill in young people a responsible attitude to their own health and the health of those around them as to the highest individual and social value. That is why, understanding the need to be attentive to the problems of one’s health, mastering the mechanisms of its maintenance, strengthening and restoration, cognition of the peculiarities of one’s individual mental and somatic organization is a prerequisite for longevity, self-realization as a person and as a member of society. The article presents the results of observations that allow judging the positive effect of billiards on general well-being and the level of physical and psycho-emotional health. The introduction of playing billiards in the educational process of higher educational institutions, in the author’s opinion, will contribute to solving some problems of the psychophysical health of a modern student.

The purpose of the study presented in the article is the empirical study of the typical life spheres where social activity of young people is manifested. The empirical study was carried out on a sample of student youth ( N = 236), which included high school students from secondary schools ( n = 118) and students from higher educational institutions ( n = 118) from Saratov and the Saratov region. We used the questionnaire aimed at registering various forms of social activity and the degree of their manifestation (by R.M. Shamionov, I.V. Arendachuk, E.E. Bocharova, M.V. Grigorieva, A.I. Zagranichniy, M.A. Klenova, N.V. Usova, O.A. Cherekayeva, A.A. Sharov, 2018) and the technique called “Morphological Test of Life Values” (by V.F. Sopov, L.V. Karpushina, 2001) to study various life spheres. Presumably, there are typical spheres of manifestation of various forms of social activity, differing in content orientation. It has been established that the typical spheres of social activity manifestation in young people are the spheres of professional (educational and professional) life, social activity, education and hobbies. The study revealed the typical spheres for various forms of social activity manifestation. Among them are the sphere of professional (educational and professional) life, i.e. leisure, altruistic, socio-economic, spiritual, Internet-network, socio-political, and civil forms of activity; the sphere of social activity, i.e. leisure, altruistic, socio-economic, and socio-political forms of activity; the sphere of education, i.e. leisure, altruistic, educational and developmental, protest forms of activity; the hobby-related sphere, i.e. leisure, altruistic, spiritual, civil forms of activity; the sphere of family life, i.e. altruistic and subcultural forms of activity. We have discovered contradictory tendencies regarding functional manifestation in some forms of social activity in various life spheres and the restriction of other forms of social activity and areas of their manifestation. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be implemented in the development of youth policy programs.

The article reviewe current issues in education in particular and in society in general, which are closely related and interdependent. It identifies the specific challenges that the European educational community has been trying to address over the last few years. These include the problem of bullying in educational institutions, early school leaving (drop out), possible social problems leading to bullying and early school leaving, and not a large percentage of young people completing school. Mechanisms and experience of solving these issues and challenges by different EU countries are revealed. The article provides specific examples of the manifestation of the trend of humanization in the educational sphere. Awareness of the subject by the teacher, the ability to recognize and master the techniques of intervention, but also a better conscious approach to the prevention of bullying should have a modern humanist teacher. The problem of early school leaving is still not raised by the Ukrainian society, relevant statistics are not available and this issue is not raised in acute scientific or state circles at the level of society and the state. The author sees the processes of humanization of education in such specific recommendations and experiences of EU countries as respect for students, participation of students and parents in decision-making of the educational institution, respect for the student's personality and his needs and interests in the learning process. All employees of the educational institution – teachers and staff, providing a comfortable and friendly environment of the educational institution.

Studying a phenomenon that cannot be proven experimentally by means of measuring its quantity and frequency, we had to rely on the experience, comprehension, feelings and emotions of a cognizant, who knows and understands the world. As the empirical base of the research came 153 students from diff erent educational institutions of Kazan. 79 of them profess Islam and 74 of them are not adherents of any religion. The researcher used a written survey. The results of the study allowed to formulate the image of the fate existing in religious and non-religious worldview and in such a way to comprehend its nature, structure and role in human life. Thus, the author proposed a model of fate. At the same time, the results of the analysis created new puzzles for the researchers, demanding from the psychologists rethinking of the very problem of the subject, both in content-structural and dynamic aspects.

Across Europe, educational institutions are essential in assisting exploration of politics, culture and history, and the use of creative arts appears crucial to supporting this aim. This article reports on Creative Connections, a multi-partner research project that facilitated exchanges for young people to explore their European identities using online art galleries and blogging technologies. Their multimodal conversations revealed an openness to consider artworks as sources of knowledge and experience. Participants did not focus on the nationality of the artist, but concentrated on the relationship that the subject matter of the work had with their own concerns. Anxiety related to populism, exclusive nationalism, social inequality and new forms of labour appeared to impact young European citizens’ relationships and their perceptions of democracy.
