Abstract: The subject of this research is the conditions and factors of the formation of spiritual-moral values of university students. The spiritual-moral values of modern youth in many ways are defined by understanding and attitude to culture developed in public consciousness. As the formation of the spiritual-moral values of youth takes place not only in terms of educational program, but also during the study-free time, the question of personal growth and self-education has also been researched. The developing leisure activities play a paramount role in formation of spiritual-moral values among students. Understanding the meaning of meaning of self-development in study-free time, many students do not really pay due attention to this process. Therefore, the author gives particular attention to determination of obstacles on the path to cultural self-development. The research is based on the analysis of the data acquired from online surveys among the students of Far Eastern universities. The author developed several typologies of the respondents’ answers that determine students’ attitude towards understanding of such fundamental concepts as “a cultured person” and “cultural behavior”. As a result of data processing, the author identified the two groups of obstacles (external and internal) that, in students’ opinion, hinder their self-development. One of the manifestations of the spiritual-moral upbringing is the sense of patriotism, which is also characterized by the attitude to their native region. The conducted research demonstrated that the significant number of young people are not satisfied with the quality of life in Primorsky Krai.
