Abstract

At present, Kazakhstan’s society is a mosaic identification space, representing a variety of options for identification strategies and ways of social self-identification of an individual. In the context of sociocultural transformations that characterize the current
stage of development of Kazakhstan’s society, the need for social self-determination of the individual becomes highly relevant. Global changes in the life of Kazakhstan society created unique mechanisms for the formation of new social group identifications, increased the need for attributing themselves to something, which led to the identification syndrome, which increased the ability to form new mechanisms of social group identifications, namely, the process of social identity was activated. In this regard, of particular interest is the theoretical analysis of the emerging identification preferences of student youth. Young people, representing a large socio-demographic group of the structure of the population of our country and being the main agent of social change, have significant innovative potential that can be effectively used for the benefit of the whole society. Thus, this article examines the issues of sociocultural self-identification of the personality of young people, and also provides research on the problems of social self-identification as a whole.
