Cultural and value sphere and communicative behavior of adolescents: gender differences // Pedagogical Review. 2026. Issue 1 (65). P. 126-139

Modern society is characterized by dynamic changes in the socio-cultural environment, which has a significant impact on the formation of cultural values and communicative behavior of adolescents. Adolescence is a critical stage in personality development, when basic values and norms of behavior are laid down that determine further social adaptation and interaction with others. The study of gender differences in the cultural and value sphere of adolescents and the peculiarities of their communicative behavior is relevant, since understanding these differences allows us to develop approaches to improve interaction between boys and girls, which contributes to the harmonization of the social environment. The analysis of studies devoted to the study of the cultural and value sphere of adolescents indicates the presence of intersex differences in the formation and content of the cultural and value sphere. In addition, psychological, economic and socio-cultural factors have a significant impact on this area. Despite the large number of both theoretical and empirical studies devoted to this issue, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the intersex analysis of the characteristics of cultural and value spheres of adolescents. In addition, to date, insufficient attention has been paid to the relationship between the features of the cultural and value sphere and the communicative behavior of adolescents. It seems that in today’s world, where there are more and more ways to communicate with representatives of different cultures, the issue of the influence of cultural and value orientations on communicative behavior is becoming more relevant. The article presents an empirical study devoted to the analysis of the links between indicators of cultural values and communicative behavior in boys and girls. The study involved 202 respondents, high school students aged 14 to 17, including 83 boys and 119 girls. The study used the “Value Orientations” questionnaire by M. Rokich and the “Cultural and Value Orientations Test” by L.G. Pochebut. The diagnostics of communicative behavior features was carried out using V. Stefanson’s “Q-sorting” technique and V.V. Boyko’s “Diagnostics of Communicative Obstacles in Establishing Emotional Contacts” technique. Multiple correlations between the studied indicators were revealed, both in boys and girls. The results obtained are analyzed and compared with the results of previous empirical studies.
