Objective. Study of the relationship between the forms of social activity of young people with the phenomena of civic consciousness, motivation and socio-demographic characteristics.Background. The living conditions and activities of modern youth are characterized by a variety of social activities, an increase in social contacts, at the same time, a transformation of communication, an increase in the number of its virtual forms. It requires scientific understanding and socio-psychological analysis of the structure and motivation of the social activity of young people, its relationship with civic consciousness.Study design. The work studied the numerous interrelationships of 18 forms of social activity of young people, the predisposition to which was determined by self-esteem according to the author’s scales. Then each form of social activity was assessed by the respondents at three levels: 1) communication, discussion, organization; 2) individual implementation; 3) collective interaction. The method of factor analysis was used to determine and interpret the enlarged groups of social activity. the motives of social activity were identified and a comparative analysis of the severity of motives in the groups of men and women was carried out. The relationship between the forms of social activity of young people and various parameters of civic consciousness and readiness to support various ideas for the development of the country and region of residence was determined by correlation analysis. All author’s scales have been peer reviewed by social psychologists and tested for internal consistency.Participants. 764 respondents, average age 19.7 years (64.5% women, 35.5% men). 85% — unmarried, living in rural areas — 6.1%, in small towns — 19.3%, in large cities (regional centers) — 68.4% and 6.2% of megalopolis residents. 77.7% have completed secondary (school) education, 7.6% — secondary vocational education, 14.7% — higher education.Measurements. Scales aimed at measuring various types of social activity (R.M. Shamionov, M.V. Grigoryeva, I.V. Arendachuk, etc.). Author’s scales aimed at studying individual forms and levels of manifestation of social activity and identifying the motivation and civic consciousness of young people.Results. The structure of social activity includes three levels: 1) communication, discussion, organization; 2) individual implementation; 3) collective interaction. At each of the presented levels, forms of social activity are realized, the most important of which are 18 — altruistic, leisure, sports and recreation, cultural, family and household, environmental, socio-political, Internet network, Internet search, civil, social economic, professional, educational and developmental, spiritual, religious, protest, radical protest, subcultural activity. In the structure of the social activity of young people, taking into account various forms and levels, 7 enlarged groups can be distinguished that characterize the types of social activity of young people: 4 mixed (Participation in collective subcultural protest actions, Discussion of socio-political and economic activity for subsequent individual implementation, Participation in collective environmental — altruistic actions, Cultural and leisure activities associated with individual education) and 3 homogeneous (Sports and recreational, Family and household and Religious). Among the motives of the social activity of young people, the motives for learning new things and self-development are most pronounced. Women, to a greater extent than men, express the motives of respect and love and harmony with others. With an increase in the age and educational level of young people, territorial stability increases, both at the regional and national levels.Conclusions. Various forms of social activity are interconnected, complementary and can be combined and transformed into each other. Social activity of young people is positively associated with civic consciousness and regional identity. Among the motives of the social activity of young people, the most pronounced are the motives of learning new things and self-development.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective.</strong> To consider the forms of social activity as predictors of the formation of beliefs and regional identity.<br><strong>Background. </strong>The social activity of modern youth is characterized by a variety of different forms, both in real and virtual environments. It is necessary to analyze and scientifically comprehend the influence of various forms of social activity on the formation of regional identity and beliefs of young people.<br><strong>Study design. </strong>After carrying out the diagnostic stage of the study, which includes obtaining indicators regarding beliefs, regional identity, as well as social activity, a regression analysis was carried out. This method was used to identify predictors of regional identity and beliefs. All the author's scales have been peer-reviewed by social psychologists and checked for internal consistency.<br><strong>Participants. </strong>920 respondents, 35% male, aged 14-35 years, average age 20 years. Of these, 7% live in rural areas, 24% in small towns, 63% in large cities, and 6% in megacities.<br><strong>Measurements. </strong>Scales aimed at measuring various types of social activity (R.M. Shamionov, M.V. Grigorieva, I.V. Arendachuk, etc.). Author's scales aimed at studying the assessment of civic consciousness. Questionnaire “Scale of basic beliefs” (adapted by O.A. Kravtsova).<br><strong>Results. </strong>The main predictors of regional identity are such forms of social activity as Internet search, professional and subcultural. Positive predictors are a professional group, a subcultural group, and a negative predictor is a form of activity associated with the search for information and social contacts in a virtual environment. No significant predictors among the forms of social activity for the beliefs “Favor of the world” and “Justice of the world” have been identified. For the “Kindness of People” belief, the main positive predictors are civic, professional, and subcultural forms of activity, and the negative predictor is Internet–network activity. The main positive predictor for the belief “Controllability of the world” is civic activity, and the negative one is family and household activity. For the belief “Randomness of what is happening”, the positive predictor is Internet network activity, and the negative predictors are leisure and subcultural. Leisure activity is a positive predictor for the belief in the value of one's self, and subcultural activity is a negative predictor. For the “Degree of self-control” belief, the main positive predictor is Internet network activity, and the negative predictors are socio-political and Internet search activity. The main negative predictor for the belief “Degree of luck” is educational and developmental activity.<br><strong>Conclusions. </strong>The regional identity of young people is slightly determined by the forms of social activity in which young people are included. The main predictors of regional identity are those forms of social activity that are implemented in local groups at the regional level (professional, subcultural). The most significant predictors of the forms of social activity of young people for the basic beliefs of the individual are Internet-network and subcultural activity, acting as a predictor for the 3 basic beliefs.</p>
