UZBEK LITERATURE'S ROLE IN SHAPING TEENAGERS' MORAL AND SPIRITUAL WORLDVIEWS

This study examines the role of Uzbek literature in shaping the moral and spiritual worldviews of teenagers, focusing on the impact of various genres on adolescents aged 13-18. While previous research has explored the influence of reading on moral development, a gap remains in understanding how specific types of Uzbek literature contribute to spiritual and ethical growth, particularly within diverse cultural contexts. To address this, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of survey data from 100 participants with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with 15 teenagers. The findings reveal that religious texts are strongly associated with the reinforcement of spiritual beliefs, while fiction literature significantly contributes to the development of empathy and ethical reasoning. Non-fiction, particularly biographies, plays a moderate role in fostering critical thinking
