Abstract

The article reflects the connection of motivation with deviant behavior as one of the significant aspects of the study of the problem of adolescents’ deviation. The theoretical approaches presented in the article show that the violation of the motivational sphere of adolescents increases the risk of deviant behavior. The types of such motives are listed in the work. The author pays attention to the study of the relationship between personal motivation and the tendency to deviant behavior of adolescent students of secondary vocational educational institutions with the norm of behavior. On the one hand the adolescence is shown to be a sensitive period of development of the motivational sphere; on the other hand, admission to secondary vocational education organizations acts as a new social situation for a teenager. The ratio of these facts can increase the negative manifestations of deviant behavior. The aim of the study is to establish the relationship between the propensity for deviant behavior and the motives of students’ personality at educational institutions of secondary vocational education. The author describes the methods and results of the study, the purpose of which is to establish the relationship between motivation and the tendency to deviant behavior in adolescent students of vocational educational institutions. The diagnostic methods were the method of J. Nuttin (motivational sphere) and the questionnaire “DAP-P” (tendency to deviant behavior). The sample of subjects consisted of 44 first-year students studying at secondary educational institutions, whose average age is 15.8. Results of the method of J. Nuttin showed the severity of the motive of achievement, cognition, influence, dominance and focus on material values. According to the results of the questionnaire “DAP-P” students have an average level of tendency to deviant behavior. The r-Spearman correlation method has found correlations between the tendency to delinquent behavior as a form of deviant behavior and such motives as aggressiveness, focus on material values, power, dominating. This fact confirms our hypothesis. The analysis of the correspondence of the results obtained by the author with similar scientific research is carried out. Conclusions are drawn about the theoretical and practical significance of the work.
