The presented work studies the attitudes of Georgian students, representatives of one of Social-age group of young of native population not only towards their nation, but also towards the ethnic minorities living in Georgia, including Russians, Armenians, Azerbaijanians, and also Abkhazians and Ossetians representing the sides of Georgian -Abkhazian and Georgian-Ossetian conflicts. There is an attempt of comparing the data obtained on the basis of experimental research carried on in 2001 year with the analogous research material carried out in 1988-1989. It has been stated that the presence of real conflict interests, aims and needs (be they present, past and future) to a certain extent, stipulate the formation of less positive attitudes between the members of different ethnic groups.
