Abstract

The article highlights the conceptual understanding of children's subculture in the context of the action logic of human life in the light of the subjective action approach. It is noted that each psychological system can be thoroughly analysed and comprehensively evaluated as promising depending on the extent to which it bases itself on the action logic of human activity.

The following conceptual structural and logical schemes have been developed: 1) the relationship between subculture and action 2) the categorical space of the age subculture from the perspective of the subjective action approach. It is emphasised that the variability, dissimilarity, and originality of the content of children's subculture provides, on the one hand, an orientation to the lost, forgotten forms of human culture, and on the other hand, forecasting new ways of its development and the direction of psycho-socio-cultural development of society.

Over the past 50 years, it has been very high and there are no determinants to think that it will decrease. It affects everyone's life in one way or another. Therefore, the study of childhood becomes important, because today's children are the adults of the future, which will be completely different from what we thought. The world they will inherit will not be the world we know today. Therefore, if we want to work effectively for children, it is vital to understand those social processes and institutions that influence children and constitute the context of their lives.

The relevance of the study is also due to the lack of potential alternative variants of the morphological model of children's subculture. Its structure is multicomponent, the analysis of each element requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, specialists from various humanitarian fields are involved in the research.
