In the Introduction, a brief overview of the phenomena of information assimilation and readiness for change is given, a description of the psychological characteristics of representatives of Z. The novelty of the research lies in the consideration of modern approaches to the psychological features of Z worship in connection with the ways of working with information and readiness for environmental changes.
The Methods section describes the main methods of empirical research: "The register of the style of information assimilation" by A. R. Gregos and "Personal readiness for change" by R. Heather. The sample description is given: 44 representatives of generation Z, male and female, aged 18–20 years.
In the Results section, the relationships between different types of information assimilation and the parameters of readiness for change in representatives of Generation Z are studied. The relationships between the indicators in the abstract-arbitrary type of information assimilation and readiness for change, expressed by the "courage" scale, are established; between indicators of an abstractarbitrary type of information assimilation and such scales of readiness for change as "optimism", "passion", "adaptivity"; between indicators of an abstract-sequential type of information assimilation and such a scale of readiness for change as "adaptivity"; between a concrete-arbitrary type of information assimilation and such an indicator of readiness for change as the "optimism" scale; between indicators of a concretesequential type of information assimilation and such an indicator of readiness for change as the "adaptivity"scale; between indicators of a specific-sequential type of information assimilation and indicators on the "confidence" scale; between indicators of a specific-sequential type of information assimilation and readiness for change on the "resourcefulness" and "tolerance"scale.
