Abstract: The relevance of the studied problem is caused by the increasing role of a human factor in civilization processes. The study is directed to the nature, structure and diagnostic capabilities of an outlook as a phenomenon, reflecting the psychic reality as a whole. The leading approach to the study of this problem is a continual-genetic (non-disjunctive) approach to the study of man as a subject. The validity of a subject holistic outlook is substantiated through the system of personal values. The experimental data of youth values study (14-22 years old), obtained using the method “valuable orientations” (USA). The researcher’s method of system values diagnostics among young people is proposed. The study materials may be useful during psychological and pedagogical work on the development of socially adapted personality in teaching and educational institutions of different types, the prevention of deviant behavior and terrorism manifestations.
