In the self-regulation of the life activity of gender groups in the sphere of labor, the general and the particular trends are noted. A significant factor of similarity is connected with the universal structure of the cultural space of young people — women and men. But the differences are determined by the severity of it’s components. The typology of the cultural space in gender groups is most reflected in the formation of life-meaning values. The influence of these meanings is manifested in the value of labor and attitudes towards labor. In both groups there is a most significant connection between the terminal value of labor with the value of justice. Among young men it is reinforced by such the life-meaning values as the struggle for justice and self-realization. Among young women it is linked to the desire for truth. Difficulties of the economic and social adaptation are equally expressed in the instrumentalization of the labor among the both gender groups. The image of work among young women is dominated by conscientious attitude to work, responsibility, mutual assistance; among young men — by feelings of freedom, independence and individualism. The change in the value foundations of self-regulation of the life activity of gender groups is in the direction of reducing the importance of traditional foundations. It is especially true for women. The difference in perception of labor is that young males see labor mostly as a source of support for themselves and the family, which goes back to the basic, archetypal ideas about the social role of the “breadwinner”. In the female gender group structure of meanings work is perceived as the source of personal well-being and self-realization. On the basis of the changing configuration of cultural meanings perception of labor is appearing and the choice of self-regulatory strategies takes place among different gender groups.
Researched is the role of traditional educational institutions in regulation of deviant behavior of young people. In social reality of young people, acts of deviant behavior are endowed with new semantic content. Previously unambiguously condemned behavioral acts associated with attitude towards the teacher, the relationship in the school team and the education system as a whole in modernconditions are interpreted ambiguously in youth environment. Meanwhile, basic foundations of universally significant norms, based on life-meaning values of the core of Russian culture, continue to be reproduced in social practices of Russian youth, thanks to mechanisms of self-regulation, that are based on mentality, archetypes, and habitus. The theme itself, the attitude to objects of education, understanding the meaning of their purpose, functions that they perform in society, are closely related to those key needs, that carriers of the cultural code have long invested in these objects. That is why in the social reality of young people hybrid forms of semantic relationship to universally significant norms begin to coexist. Young people more and more often determine for themselves, that behavioral acts should be considered appropriate for themselves, and which are deviating in the field of education.
The article analyzes the social and cultural foundations in modern society, which stimulate the embedding of examples of deviant behavior in the process of regulating social interactions in the youth environment. The theoretical and methodological analysis of the main provisions of the structural-functional school (Durkheim, Merton) is presented, the problems of functional integration of cultural elements (Sorokin), the contradictions between culture and social relations (Lapin), the interaction of cultural and social in the process of social development (Ahiezer). Special attention was paid to the correlation of social and cultural tools for regulating individual behavior (Alexander), and the consistency of social and cultural in society (Kravchenko). The author's analysis allowed to determine the main theoretical contradictions of the social mechanism of transformations of social institutions (Zaslavskaya), describe the role of macro-institutions in society (Dimans, Levicheva), and identify the impact of social uncertainty (Chuprov) and social deformations (Kudryavtsev) on society. Conclusions are made about the influence of socio-cultural conditions on the formation of deviant behavior patterns in conditions of uncertainty and the discontinuity of social interactions among young people. Social and cultural grounds determine the nature and direction of regulation of social interactions in society and the predominance of patterns of acceptable, normative or deviating from generally accepted norms of behavior in the mechanism of regulation. The mismatch of cultural and social grounds, as one of the key causes of this phenomenon, is studied from the positions of classical and modern sociological concepts. This discrepancy leads to an increase in illegal practices among young people. The above-mentioned processes of mismatch are accompanied by: dysfunction of macroinstitutions; deformation of the mechanism of normative regulation; reinterpretation of normative patterns in the social reality of young people; giving them a new, deviant meaning. The consequence of these processes is the formation of hybrid forms of regulation of social interactions in the youth environment, when normative patterns coexist with patterns of deviant behavior in the social reality of youth.
The relevance of the problem of studying the sense deviations of Russian youth at work is due to: changes in the nature of integration of young people at work, on the one hand, and features of self-regulation of deviant behavior of this socio-demographic group in the field of labor relations, on the other. Young people's choice in favour of meanings deviations is seen as a consequence of intensification of the processes of instrumentalization and rationalization of young people at work. These processes are reflected in the growth of social subjectivity of young people through active completion and reconstruction of their social reality. On the basis of empirical data obtained in the course of research by the Center of Sociology of the Youth of ISPR FCTAS RAS, the author analyzes the relationship between the value compo-nents of the image of work, the qualities inherent in the sphere of work and deviant meanings in the cultural space of youth, which allows us to study the sense orienta-tion of self-regulation of deviant behavior of youth in this sphere. The purpose of the analysis is to substantiate the mechanism of self-regulation of the deviant behavior of Russian youth at work. The study of deviant meanings contained in this mechanism makes it possible to determine different types of self-regulation of deviations in the youth environment in the context of the transformation of modern Russian society.
