The study used methods of problematization, dialogization, and group interaction. It has been revealed that personal immaturity, impulsiveness, suggestibility, very high or low self-esteem, poor regulation of one’s emotional state and behavior, concrete thinking, and weak analysis of situations contribute to the development of victim behavior in students with ID.
