The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between the significance of social activity forms and age, as well as a comparison of their importance in social groups identified by the criteria of gender, marital status, and educational level. As a result of correlation and comparative analysis using the Pearson and t-student criteria, it was revealed that with increasing age, the value of religious activity increases and the importance of altruistic, Internet, spiritual and subcultural forms of youth activity decreases; women value the importance of the Internet, social, economic, educational and spiritual forms of activity higher than men; a family contributes to the growth of altruistic, socio-economic, educational and spiritual forms of activity; the higher level of education means the higher social activity of the subject, which can be realized in wide areas of social interactions.
