The article provides a fundamental analysis in the detecting of the concept of "prosocial behaviour", relying on the existing studies. It is considered as a set of personality traits that determine a person's tendency to help others and willingness to benefit others and society. The structure of prosocial behaviour distinguishes the main components of prosocial behaviour: humanistic attitudes to interaction, empathy (the ability of a person to respond emotionally to the experience of another person), moral behaviour (moral values, moral actions, personal values) and altruism (selfless activity and helping people). The level of altruism, selfishness, empathetic tendencies, prosocial tendencies of student youth, norms of prosocial orientation are recognized as diagnostic indicators of prosocial behaviour. The following research methods are used: theoretical (analysis of scientific sources, generalization of the analysed literature and its systematization, identification of basic principles that the research is based on, formulation of conclusions); empirical and statistical methods. The results of an empirical study showed that teenagers' self-esteem is dominant in comparison to adolescents', though the level of empathy among youth is proved to be much higher. It has been grounded that the empathy of adolescents, as well as teenagers, increases in situations of support and enhancement of the well-being of others, selflessness and sincerity. It has been confirmed statistically that teenagers giving assistance are characterized by the assessment of cost, loss and reward; however, adolescents are strongly exposed to a higher social responsibility rate.

У статті представлено результати теоретичного та емпіричного аналізу проблеми впливу міжособистісних взаємин на формування соціально-психологічного клімату студентської групи. Авторами розглянуто соціально-психологічний клімат у колективі як специфічне соціально-психологічне явище, яке складається в колективі під впливом складної системи взаємовідносин, в якій знаходяться члени колективу між собою і з навколишнім соціальним середовищем в процесі праці та спілкування, проявляється в емоційному, поведінковому, когнітивному, моральному й ідеологічному плані, впливає на активність особистості та діяльності колективу. Виявлено вплив міжособистісних взаємин на формування соціальнопсихологічного клімату в студентському колективі. Емпіричне дослідження показало, що переважаючим типом спілкування у двох досліджуваних групах є авторитарний тип міжособистісних відносин, який характеризується активністю, прагненням до керівництва, більшість активу групи прагне поваги до себе, любить давати поради.

The article presents the study on future socionomic specialists’ ecocentrism, describes the structure of ecological consciousness and its psychological characteristics. Basing on the analyzed theoretical scientific sources, we have determined that environmental consciousness means a sphere of social and individual consciousness, associated with representations of the nature as a part of the whole existence. According to the obtained data, students with pronounced ecocentric attitudes towards environment are characterized by sociability (high social activity, needs and desires for communications), poise (high tolerance to stress, optimism, high activity, self-confidence), openness (the desire for trustful and open interactions with others, for communications, openness to new experience, high self-criticism), extraversion (sociability, openness, optimism, high activity, friendliness). We have found that the students with pronounced anthropocentric attitudes towards environment are characterized by irritability (unstable emotional states, a tendency to respond emotionally to life situations), reactive aggressiveness (the desire to dominate, impulsivity of behavior), emotional lability (instability of emotional states, imbalance, irritability, insufficient self-control, frequent and abrupt mood swings) and shyness (low stress resistance, insecurity, anxiety). The study results prove that the rank indicators of the examined criteria are different, and this demonstrates differences in psychological characteristics of the respondents with different attitudes towards environment. The differences between the majority of the examined criteria were statistically significant (p≤0.01, p≤0.001), which confirmed possible differentiation of students by of their attitudes to environment. We have proved that expressed different attitudes (ecocentric, apathy or anthropocentric) to environment are not influenced by such psychological characteristics as: orientation in time, neuroticism, spontaneous aggressiveness and depression (p≥0.10). These personal characteristics do not actually influence the formation or transformation of students’ ecological consciousness. Basing on the experimental study, we have determined correlations between the ecocentrism indicators and the characteristics of future socionomic specialists’ social maturity. Namely, the students with pronounced ecocentric attitudes towards environment showed in interpersonal relationships strong authority and the desire for leadership, acute independence and dominance, excessive straightforwardness, accompanied by criticism and distrust, the tendency to cooperate with pronounced altruism and hypersocial attitudes, high stress resistance, optimism, activity, self-confidence.

The article highlights the results of an experimental study on the formation of prosocial behavior among out-of-school students of their teenage and adolescent years. The dynamics of development of prosocial behavior is determined; the reliability of the revealed changes is established to confirm the effectiveness of the conducted psycho-correctional work. This article is an experimental continuation of the first stage of the study of teens and adolescents’ prosocial behavior. The results of the experimental study show the dynamics of changes before and after the formative experiment on the levels of empathy, the components of altruism and selfishness in the experimental and control groups. Changes in types and norms of teens and adolescents’ prosocial orientation of behavior are analyzed. After the experiment it was found out that the level of empathy and altruism is statistically higher among the students of their teenage and adolescent years in the experimental group than in the control one. It is noted that the system of psycho-correctional measures promotes the development and increase of empathy and altruism among teenagers and adolescents. Significant differences among the types and norms of teenage and adolescent students’ prosocial behavior before and after the experiment are identified. It is proved that teenagers and adolescents show less dominance of altruistic motives in behavior when there is a necessity to provide assistance in public. The level of altruism increases under the possibility of selfless and charitable assistance. It is concluded that the results of the approbation have testified to the effectiveness of the developed program of prosocial behavior formation in students of out-of-school institutions.
