Abstract

The article examines the role of child-parent relations in the formation of victimization of the personality of adolescents. The relevance of the study is associated with an increase in the number of adolescents subjected to illegal actions, as well as with the contribution of the family environment, confirmed in many studies, to the formation of individual psychological characteristics of adolescents, including those that are predictors of victimization. The study involved 60 teenagers from full families with their own parents. In the course of the study, adolescents were divided into two groups according to their propensity for victim behavior and the type of victim behavior prevailing in the groups. The characteristics of attachment to parents were evaluated, as well as indicators of the relationship between parents and a child. The study confirmed the fact of a significant contribution of the family to the formation of adolescent victimization. The marker of a high level of victimization is largely the hostile relationship of adolescents with the father with the absence of a feeling of intimacy and interest. Hostility and inconsistency on the part of parents with an insufficient level of intimacy and positive interest have an impact on the formation of all types of victim behavior. The results obtained make it possible to develop recommendations for the prevention of victimization to reduce the number of victims and active participants in crimes among adolescents.
