A comparative analysis of the sociological research on the impact of social activity on student socialization

The article deals with the problem of social activity of student youth as a factor of socialization. Social activity has its own specifics and features, and allows a person to express his will and aspiration in a variety of manifestations. The specificity of social activity manifestations allows us to study its influence on the socialization of student youth. We have characterized the factors of social activity and their impact on socialization, and identified student social activity during the period of study at the university. A comparative analysis of two opinion surveys made it possible to identify the perception of the concept of "social activity" by students, the manifestations of social activity during their study at the university, as well as possible ways to increase the social activity.
