Berufliche Identität von Studierenden als eines der Schlüsselprobleme der modernen Psychologie – Professional Identity of Students as one of the Key Problems of Modern Psychology

The formation of students' professional identity is considered in modern psychology as a complex and multi-level process that determines the success of their future activities and personal development. Professional identity is understood as the integration of personal and professional qualities, self-awareness in a future profession, stability of professional values and norms. An important factor is the educational environment of the university: interaction with teachers, participation in professional communities, and internships help strengthen identity. A study using the methodology for studying the status of professional identity (MISPI) by A.A. Azbel compared humanities students in Armenia and Germany. Armenian participants demonstrated a more pronounced emotional and value-oriented component, while German students tended to a rational and behavioral approach. These differences reflect differences in educational systems and social expectations. Understanding these patterns can help design programs that help students adapt to new environments and maintain their professional identity.
