Abstract
Aim. To study the cultural characteristics of the gender identity of modern youth in Russia.
Methodology. The relationship between the level of moral orientations and the gender identity of Russian youth was investigated. The study consisted of two stages: empirical research and theoretical analysis. To do this, the following methods were used: the survey method and the methods of statistical processing of the results (the Pearson correlation method). The definition of cultural characteristics was carried out from the point of view of the morality of the sample under study, using the methodology for studying moral orientations according to Slavinskaya I.S., Nasledov A.D., Dvoretskaya M.Y.. In turn, gender identity was determined using the gender role questionnaire by S. Bem. Further, the results were analyzed for the presence of a correlation using the Pearson method. The sample consisted of 102 male and female students of Moscow universities between the ages of 18 and 25.
Results. According to the results of an empirical study, it was revealed that moral orientations are poorly correlated with the gender identity of research group.
Research implications. The research results of this article can serve as a basis for an in-depth study of social and psychological factors potentially influencing the formation and development of youth gender identity.
