The study highlights the development state of the social responsibility and social attitudes of the person, in particular conceptualization of Christian attitudes in the social, psychological and worldview contexts is carried out and the consideration of these attitudes as a factor of the person social responsibility formation is focused.
It is noted that the social responsibility of the person is a complete developed structure, which includes motivational, affective, cognitive, behavioral and moral, spiritual components and is regarded as a stable individual formation, which expresses the person value attitude to other people, to the world, to himself/herself; determines socially appropriate behavior, spiritual and moral values acceptance, their choice peculiarities (as a socially responsible behavior subject) and awareness of its consequences significance.
The comprehensive analysis of the social attitude research identified that Christian attitudes are connected with religious spirituality, with Christian morality. It is stated that Christian attitudes express personal position, conscious objective reality, active attitude of a person towards the world in general and in particular, the self-realization. Christian attitudes are defined as worldview precepts that are required and willing to refer and act on people, events, phenomena, life, oneself, God according to Christian morality based on faith and love for God and neighbor.
The empirical study results of the influence of Christian attitudes on the structural and semantic characteristics of the student youth social responsibility are presented, as well as the socio-psychological content of the personality social responsibility types (PSR) is shown. It is proved that manifestation of Christian attitudes and social responsibility of student youth is substantially mediated by the content of religious self-determination, the degree of the religious rites and confessional identity observance.
It is established that Christian attitudes are the significant factor in the individual social responsibility formation. Particularly, the CH component "Society Benefits" and "Respect for Humanity" influence the increase of all PSR indicators. The effect of the Morality component is not homogeneous. In particular, Christian morality promotes an understanding of the moral categories essence of good and evil, the ability to give a moral assessment of their acts. Simultaneously, the mentioned component is not sufficiently involved when it comes to the moral and ethical values formation and an indicator of overall responsibility. The results of the variance analysis concluded that the greatest manifestation of such indicators of PSR, as "Intuition in the moral and ethical sphere", "Moral and ethical values", "Altruistic emotions", "General level of social responsibility" is associated with a high or an average level of CH expression, proving a particular role in the various aspects of social responsibility improvement.
According to the cluster analysis results, the types of social responsibility of the youth by Varda method there are distinguished such PSR types as: diffuse, intuitive and emotional, altruistically directed and subject and action. Respondents of the subject and action type of responsibility were found to have the highest values of the “The social responsibility general level” and its indicators, and the lowest was in the group with diffuse, second and third positions, accordingly the respondents of intuitive, emotional and altruistically directed PSR types referred to them.
The obtained results showed the relevance of increasing in student youth both the general level of responsibility and some of its characteristics, which was realized through the introduction of a correction and development program aimed at updating and activating the positive potential of Christian and legal homilies and negative aspects correction of authoritarian and customer homilies. The results of program implementation testified its effectiveness in increasing the social responsibility of college students and the expediency of its further practical application.
