Summary/Abstract: The intensity of impact of legal norms on the motives of behavior is determined by many factors. The main place among them is occupied by the social status of the person and his/her position in the social group. Socio-demographic characteristics are important. However, the degree of coincidence of the imperative of the norm with the interests of the individual or the relevant social group is most important. In this sense, the moral value and justification of the norms and the degree of socialization, manifested in certain psychological attitudes towards the principles of the law in force (justice, legitimacy, nature of coercion, etc.) motivates the readiness for certain behavior.
