Аim - to conduct a theoretical analysis of scientific sources that reveal the features of the formation of social maturity of young men in the process of their development.
The relevance of the study is due to the need to substantiate the process of forming social maturity of young men as a holistic age period from 11 to 21 years. During adolescence, there are aspirations for self-expression and self-knowledge. The physical maturation of the body and the initial stage of socialization of the personality of young men are completed. The social maturity of young men depends on the characteristics of their development and physiological maturation, and the spiritual atmosphere of society. For the formation of social maturity of young men, the process of forming their personalities becomes important. Formation depends on the stages of choosing a profession, educational activities, adaptation processes. There is a need for knowledge for the formation of social maturity of young men. It is important to increase the competence of different groups of the population regarding behavior, development and mental processes in the adolescent period. Psychological education also increases the general culture of young men. Forms of psychological education - lectures, seminars, conversations, selection of literature. Educational institutions in which young people study need this type of activity of a practical psychologist. Adolescence as a transitional period from childhood to adulthood provides young people with the opportunity to actively experiment with models of their role behavior.
The formation of social maturity of young people and the features of their development also depends on the process of identity, psychosocial identity. This helps young people perceive their own personality in relationships with peers and adult surroundings, and determine acceptable forms of behavior in society. Pubertal transformations of an individual in adolescence are a holistic awareness of themselves and their place in the lives of other people and society.
