Abstract

Russia is one of the ten states with high suicidal activity of the population. Adolescence and early adolescence are traditionally considered as periods of manifestation of suicidal attempts and completed suicides, which determines the need to identify the psychological determinants of personality to prevent and correct the risk of suicidal behavior students. We carried out a psychological study of suicidal tendencies and predisposition to self-destructive behavior in early adolescence; formed an experimental group of students based on the screening of students with a high risk of suicidal behavior. The propensity for risky and suicidal behavior, as well as such qualities as aggressiveness, social dependence, anxiety, self-esteem at the ascertaining and control stages were studied. The revealed in the study data on suicidal tendencies and predisposition to destructive behavior in people of early adolescence complement the theoretical and empirical ideas about this phenomenon. A complex combination of a high level of aggressiveness, personal anxiety, social dependence and inadequacy of self-esteem in the structure of suicidal tendencies and a predisposition to destructive behavior in people of early adolescence has been reliably identified. The results obtained are important for the development of preventive measures, competent and reasonable construction of psycho-correctional and psychotherapeutic work with this category of students.
