The reason of differences between research results on moral attitudes of contemporary youth. 3. The general characteristics of the youth’s moral domain on the basis of the positive and negative attitudes found by psychological researches. 4. The factors of moral development stressing these ones which allow to step from the heteronomous to autonomous moral period. 5. Actual unfavourable circumstances for forming correct moral attitudes of contemporary youth (physiological factors, demographical and civilizing, social, psychological and pedagogical ones). 6.

Remarks on methodological status of the psychology of revalidation
No full textThe author explains the adoption of a term „psychology of revalidation” so as to define the branch of science dealing with psychophysical deviants. The very idea of work with mentally deficient people provides the best explanation of this term, i.e. the sense of treatment, rising of the standard of efficiency, restoring both physical and mental health within the framework of the existing limitations (L. validus — strong, effacacious, convalescent). Subsequently the author presents the branches of psychology of revalidation and problems related to it. Next the author shows the mutual relations of the psychology of revalidation with other branches of psychology especially with clinical psychology, medicine, special education, sociology, law and technics. In the conclusion the author points to the pertinence of integration of all of these branches into one compact system, into single science of an interdisciplinary character which by way of generalizing the findings of constituent sciences would encompass the entire notion of psychophysical deficiencies
The moral motivation in various groups of youth. Psychological investigation of students
No full textThe essential aim of the present studies was to answer the question: ’’What is the opinion of senior students about moral duties, considering a particular type of motivation?”. The testee w as placed in a hypothetical m oral situation and ordered to determine the degree of preference of three triads of norms taking into consideration personological, deontological and utilitarian motivation. The ratings w ere presented on the scale of the degree of acceptance of the behaviour norms, ranging from 0 to 100. In order to determine the degree of preference for each of the motivations, the testee had to compare pairs of norms: n1 with n2; n1 with n3; n2 with n3. The comparison resulted in three global proportional indices of preferences completing to a hundred, since the testee was to give them for all these situations in which he considered accomplishment of the particular activity necessary. The analysis of the experimental data concerns 150 senior students from five higher schools in Lublin (30 students from each school). A general survey of the medial values of the degree of the motive preference indicates that in the main young people give priority to personological and deontological motivation over utilitarian one. As far as personological motivation is concerned the testees seem to value most the norm: ”to help a person being in danger of losing his life”. The norm also achieved the highest degree of acceptance in the deontological version. In the group of norms of utilitarian motivation the students pronounced themselves in favour of ”to act justly as then one has a clear conscience”. When considering the problem of interdependence between the motivation ratings and the type of higher school it was found out that students of all higher schools equally preferred norms of deontological motivation. It means that preference of this motivation is independent of the character of the higher school in which the young people are intellectually formed. The type of higher school proved however a significant determinant of the norm preference in respect of personological and utilitarian motivation. The highest degree of preference of utilitarian motivation could be observed in students from agricultural school, while medical students revealed lower degree in the ratings of personological motivation than university students. Besides the analyses of the results proved that the sex variable is not a significant determinant of the ratings of the norm preference in respect of the motivation type
