ABSTRACT

A social personality type is a product of a complex intertwining of historicocultural and socioeconomic conditions of people’s life activity. The system of general social attitudes of a personality toward specific typical social situations and social objects is even more mobile and variable. The human personality is shaped under “given social conditions,” not abstractly, but in concrete social groups with which people identify, and whose interests and motives they assimilate as their own. Restructuring requires a type of personality adequate to its goals. This social type will be shaped by drawing more and more of the broad masses into the revolutionary transformations of society. Purposeful upbringing and education, the influence of changing life conditions, sociocultural influences, and the propagandizing of examples of conduct approved by society, will help to promote changes favorable to society in the general hierarchy of an individual’s value orientations.
