The analysis of the theoretical and methodological studies showed the lack of conceptual unity relative value perspective. Values are represented the backbone of the basis of identity, determine characteristics of self-determination, perceptions of life chances and ways of its acquisition, formation of integral spirituality (A.G. Asmolov, B.S. Bratus, Kronik A.A., Leontiev A.N., D.A. Leontyev, V.A. Petrovsky and others etc.). Given the fact that value orientation regulate the behaviour and needs of the individual, are seen as significant to determine their contents with a gender perspective. The aim of the study was to explore gender features of value orientations of student youth from different ethnic groups. The main objectives of the study are: to identify gender differences of value orientations of Russian and Crimean Tatar students; the implementation of ethno-psychological analysis of value orientations of students. For the purpose of achievement of the study objectives was used a modified method "Value orientations" by M. Rokich, the criterion of Kruskal-Wallis and correlation analysis. The study was implemented in 2016 at the faculty of psychology, Taurida Academy of the Vernadsky V. I. Crimean Federal University. The event was attended by 60 students of first-year psychology faculty: 30 girls and 30 boys aged 17 to 18 years. Form of study: full-time and part-time. Identified and described the gender features of value orientations of Russian students and the Crimean Tatars of the first course of faculty of psychology, Taurida Academy of the V. I. Crimean Vernadsky Federal University: Russian and Crimean Tatar students see the opportunity for personal success and material well-being, provided my professional growth. Students of both ethnic groups are characterized by the degree of awareness of the need of self-realization, tolerance, protection of welfare of others. A comparative analysis of hierarchy of values of the student youth showed that there are common features, and certain features in value orientations, due to gender and belonging to different ethno-social groups. We describe a universal cultural values, characteristic for students from different ethnic groups, regardless of gender and ethnicity is health, love, material provided life, family, spirituality, interesting work, education, efficiency in business, independence and responsibility. The focus of the value of the sphere on universal values as we assume that associated with traditional (conservative) values of the profession of psychologist, and recognized part of students (with the dominance of this orientation) as one element of their personal security. The study of gender peculiarities of value orientations of students from different ethnic groups demonstrates the complexity of the structure of the axiological sphere of personality, the need for balancing, which requires further research and analysis of the dynamics of the formation during professionalization.
