Dynamics of the formation of the Value-semantic Sphere of the Personality of the future Officer
N the article psychological mechanisms of formation of value-semantic structures of the person of the young man are considered. Сonvictions and values of the individual are formed in the process of intrapersonal conflict. There are such periods in a person’s life, during which time he becomes more sensitive and receptive to new information. During these periods, the number and quality of intrapersonal conflicts increases significantly, a cardinal reorganization of the world outlook and a rethinking of values are taking place. Education in the university is one of such periods, for which the heterochronality of the cognitive and psychosocial development of the cadet is especially characteristic. This creates the conditions for creating the basis of the value-semantic sphere of the military professional, which will finally be formed directly in the troops. Administrative influences of higher command, professional communication and interaction with colleagues, as well as the system of educational work are just factors that contribute or impede the conversion of the cadet’s convictions into the professional values of the officer.
