We have found that the psychological characteristics of the ethnic identity of the South Ossetian youth presented: an increased level of expression of a sense of belonging to their ethnic group (giperprinadlezhnost); the significance of ethnicity (normal importance); assessment of the relationship of the majority and the minority (ethnic majority (the indigenous population) should dominate). In a comparative analysis of self-ethnic identity among young people in North Ossetia and South Ossetia, a significance is more than twice as high in the North Ossetian youth and is defined as “a very significant ethnic identity”. High percentages of respondents uncertain representations we take as important educational and training guidelines that define a resource for the development of positive ethnic identity of the South Ossetian youth that facilitate socialization and professionalization, as well as the successful integration into the world community. Features of the South Ossetian ethnic identity of youth in modern cultural and historical situation, are the psychological basis for the formation as a protective psychological mechanisms, and mechanisms to facilitate the success of the personal and professional development.
