THE FORMATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STABILITY OF A STUDENT IN CONDITIONS OF AN EXISTENTIAL CHOICE
The authors study ways to make students psychologically confident in conditions of an existential choice. The authors demonstrate the specifics of the age of students and suggest that this age is characterized by the final formation of I-concept in an individual. The article also notes that often the beginning of studies at a university is connected with the necessity of revaluation of previously made professional choice. In this regard, the organization of the environment that helps students to discover more about themselves, to continue their personal and professional growth should be one of the main directions of the psychological service in the educational system of a university. Practice-oriented psychological knowledge, found in the whole educational space, creates not only psychological culture, but also conditions for inner growth of an individual; it is a key factor in a person's acceptance of his own identity as a professional.
