Model of Self-Identification of Youth in the Global Communication Environment

Identity is the result of an identification process. The essence of the identification process is expressed in the acceptance of a certain social role by an individual in the process of entering a social group. The psychological meaning of the phenomenon of “identity” reflects the inner identity and integrity of an individual. This phenomenon can affect both an individual and a group. The novelty of the research is determined by the fact that important factors in the process of identity development are specific events in the past and present, periods of crisis and changes in the history of society. It is shown that the main psychological mechanism for the development of identity is identification associated with the interaction between an individual and a social group. The development of personality identity includes a number of types of identity and continues during ontogenesis, is a dynamic and uneven process. The authors show that the concept of national identity within the framework of various fields of psychological science can relate to a group and a person. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that in the study the authors understand national identity as the cognitive and emotional awareness of a person of his own belonging to a particular nation, which has its own characteristics. Student (late adolescence) age is decisive in the formation of a person's identity and sensitive for the development of his national identity. The psychological mechanism for the development of a person's national identity at this age is national identification. An insufficient study of the development of the national identity of student youth has been established

Political Clubs and Press in Russia and England in the 20—30s of XIX Century: Russian Public Opinion about the Tory Party

The author examines the processes of institutionalization of such forms of public representation in Great Britain and Russia in the first third of the 19th century as the press and political clubs. The formation of criteria for a new type of communication characteristic of club culture is investigated: equality of participants, the quality of argumentation and problematization of public policy in relation to both countries. The relevance of the study is  seen in conducting a comparative analysis and determining the features of the formation of public political  discourse in Russia and Great Britain during the period under study. The novelty of the research lies in the placement of the problems considered in the article in a broader research context, as well as in the use of the methodology of critical conventionalism in the analysis of the role of the press and political clubs. Particular attention is paid to the presentation in the Russian press of the political situation in Great Britain in the first half of the 30s of the XIX century. The author’s vision of the role and place of the press in shaping public opinion in Russia in relation to the policy of the Tory party in 1831—1834 is presented. It is shown that the ideas of the Russian  educated class about Tory politics during this period were fragmentary and poorly understood from the point of  view of understanding British political realities. It is emphasized that the correctness of the assessment of the political situation in Great Britain in the first half of the 30s of the 19th century raises reasonable doubts in the Russian press
