Abstract

Social psychology typically conceptualizes the interactive approach to the development of youth civic identity through the lens of the interactionist theory of socialization, which posits that individuals construct identity through interaction and shared social experience (G. Mead, 1934), particularly through "role-taking" and "role-making" (Turner, 2001). This article, based on both international and domestic studies, argues that the development of civic identity in youth through an interactive approach is one of the key avenues for understanding the mechanisms of civic identity formation – mechanisms that extend beyond the boundaries of the interactionist theory of socialization. Within the scope of the study, various conceptualizations of the interactive approach in different countries are analyzed, along with the methodological features of its implementation in educational contexts. Drawing on a unique set of comparative empirical data encompassing youth from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the United States, and Ukraine, the article substantiates both the common and divergent features of implementing the interactive approach, taking into account the sociocultural context of each country and their specific interpretations of the concept of “civic identity.” The study materials aim to: deepen the understanding of the role of the interactive approach in constructing new social identities, narratives, and civic development trajectories among youth; confirm the relevance of applying international experience within the Ukrainian context; and emphasize the importance of a comprehensive contextual analysis that goes beyond examining interpersonal interaction and also includes the environments that facilitate such interaction. The article presents a comparative analysis of civic identity models: the liberal model, which emphasizes self-organization, civic engagement, and protest potential; and the statist model, which views civil society as a space of conflicting interests requiring state regulation.
