The article examines the productive life activities in various fields and the spiritual and moral aspect of personality (in particular, spiritual abilities), as well as subjective well-being (satisfaction with life and subjective happiness) in Russian university students. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the issues related to the productive life of students, their spiritual abilities and subjective well-being remain understudied. The purpose of the study is to reveal how these issues are interrelated among Russian university students. The methodological toolkit of the study included: the Spiritual Personality Inventory by A. Husain and M. Anas (adapted into Russian by G.V. Ozhiganova); the Altruistic Attitudes Questionnaire by M.I. Yasin; the Spiritual Orientation of Personality Questionnaire by G.V. Ozhiganova; the Wisdom Diagnostics Questionnaire by N.N. Mekhtikhanova; the Differential Test of Reflection (DTR) by D.A. Leontiev and E.N. Osin; the Metapersonal Self (MPS) Scale by T. DeCicco and M. Stroink (adapted into Russian by O.R. Tuchina); the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) by E. Diener et al. (adapted into Russian by E.N. Osin and D.A. Leontiev); the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) by S. Lyubomirsky and H. Lepper (adapted into Russian by E.N. Osin and D.A. Leontiev); and the Productive Life Activity and Self-Transcendence Questionnaire by G.V. Ozhiganova. The study sample consisted of 171 persons, including 134 females (78.4%) and 37 males (21.6%), aged 17 to 23 years ( M = 19.28; SD = 0.98). All the participants were university students from Moscow. The results have shown a significant positive relationship between students’ productive life activities, spiritual abilities, and subjective well-being. A correlation between students’ spiritual abilities and subjective well-being has been revealed. The established connection of students’ productive life activities with their spiritual abilities and subjective well-being suggests the need to create opportunities for students to develop their spiritual abilities and cultivate the idea of fruitful, productive life activities among them.

Рассмотрены продуктивная жизнедеятельность студентов в разных сферах и духовно-нравственный аспект их личности (в частности, духовные способности), а также субъективное благополучие (удовлетворенность жизнью и субъективное счастье). Актуальность исследования связана с недостаточной изученностью сопряженности продуктивной жизнедеятельности студенческой молодежи, ее духовных способностей и субъективного благополучия. Цель исследования - выявить связь продуктивной жизнедеятельности, духовных способностей и субъективного благополучия у студентов. Использовались методики: опросник «Духовная личность» А. Хусейна и М. Анаса, адаптация Г.В. Ожигановой; опросник «Измерение альтруистических установок» М.И. Ясина; опросник «Духовная ориентация личности» Г.В. Ожигановой; «Методика диагностики мудрости» (МДМ-32) Н.Н. Мехтихановой; опросник «Дифференциальный тест рефлексивности (ДТР) Д.А. Леонтьева и Е.Н. Осина; «Шкала измерения металичностной самоинтерпретации» Т. ДеЧикко и М. Строинк, адаптация О.Р. Тучиной; «Шкала удовлетворенности жизнью» (ШУЖ) Э. Динера и др., адаптация Е.Н. Осина и Д.А. Леонтьева; «Шкала субъективного счастья» (ШСС) С. Любомирски и Х. Леппер, адаптация Е.Н. Осина и Д.А. Леонтьева; методика «Продуктивная жизнедеятельность и самотрансценденция» Г.В. Ожигановой. В исследовании участвовал 171 студент московских вузов, из них 134 респондента женского пола (78,4 %) и 37 - мужского пола (21,6 %); возраст 17-23 года ( М = 19,28; SD = 0,98). Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о наличии значимой положительной связи продуктивной жизнедеятельности студентов с духовными способностями и субъективным благополучием. Выявлена взаимосвязь духовных способностей с субъективным благополучием студентов. Установленная сопряженность продуктивной жизнедеятельности студентов с духовными способностями и субъективным благополучием приводит к выводу о необходимости создания возможностей развития у студентов духовных способностей и культивирования в среде студенческой молодежи идеи плодотворной, продуктивной жизнедеятельности.
