Tendencies for Rural Youth Personality Development

The aim of this work was to research personality peculiarities of rural profession training school students. The object of this research is students' personality development peculiarities. The methods applied in this work: questionnaire and Rozenberg self evaluation test. 119 respondents from Kedainiq Professional Training Center Landiunavos branch, aged 16 19 participated in this research. Only 27.2% of respondents feel self exclusiveness and indicate themselves not only as a personality but also as a value. It could be assumed that this group of young people will have different life style and better life that their parents do currently. The greater part of students (84.9%) indicated that they have life aims, 15.1% of students gave negative responses. Students were asked whether they intend to work up to the profession chosen. Slightly more that a half (58.0%) indicated that they do not know, 35.3% gave positive responses and 6.7% - negative. These results prove the right students' attitude to their future. Half of them not only have future aims and plans but they also hope to work up to the profession chosen. Students were asked to image that due to some circumstances, they would have to refuse 3 things. Refusal of entertainment would reflect their preparation to estimate life as responsibility demanding, but refusal of spirituality, coming on the second place, makes us question what values encourage the researched group to live seriously and responsibly. It could be predicted that geocentric values, related to personal experiences. Students were asked to indicate all familiar to them feelings. The fact that positive emotions prevail, could indicate that young people know life not only from the negative side and are sufficiently motivated for self realization. Comparing students self respect estimations in accordance to age groups, it was established that younger and elder students self estimation values differ (p<0,05). The averages show that self estimation values of elder students are higher (M=30.39) than younger ones M=28.77). The research established that the youth self estimation values are average.
