In the era of globalization, the spiritual and cultural self-consciousness of Kazakh youth is undergoing profound transformations. The notions of cognitive identification and poetic consciousness have become decisive frameworks through which young people reinterpret their spiritual identity. The present study aims to analyse the cultural–cognitive identification of Kazakh youth and its interaction with national and global cultural codes. Using cognitive, cultural-anthropological and hermeneutic methodologies the research examines the psychological structures of young people and the mechanisms by which they perceive national culture. It also explores questions of cultural relevance and the preservation of spiritual integrity. Scientific results reveal psychological, social and cultural aspects of maintaining national culture and spiritual values in a globalising world. Practically, the work informs strategies and programmes in youth policy and cultural development aimed at preserving the authenticity of national culture. Cognitive analysis examines psychological structures and perception of cultural codes; a cultural-anthropological overview explains interactions between national culture and global influences; and a hermeneutic approach allows a deeper analysis of the symbolic world and the structures of poetic consciousness. The study identifies a dynamic relationship between the cultural identification of Kazakh youth and global culture: while young people are open to global cultural flows, internal psychological mechanisms and the values of their social environment play an essential role in preserving the core codes of national culture. The paper proposes mechanisms to safeguard national consciousness and cultural integrity against the pressures of globalization and offers new perspectives on balancing national and global cultures. Its findings will help to identify youth’s cultural-cognitive orientations and to develop psychological and social support mechanisms to improve their attitudes towards national culture. Finally, the article proposes concrete steps for national education programmes and cultural policy aimed at fostering spiritual unity among young people.
