Abstract

The results of a comparative empirical study on the characteristics of the socialization of family adolescents and their peers brought up outside the family are presented in the article. The study examined the parameters of social adaptation, autonomy, the locus of control in the field of achievements and interpersonal relationships, the need to maintain social ties, attitude towards vulnerable groups and readiness to create your own family. There are significant differences in the process of socialization of adolescents-orphans and their peers who are brought up in a family. In particular, teenage orphans have a low level of social adaptation, autonomy, and activity. School has little impact on the socialization process, and the teenage group has a strong impact. Orphans show low interest in education; a low need for real friends and a lack of confidence that they themselves can be real friends. Orphans are dominated by the external locus of control. They assume that romantic relationships can negatively affect their lives, while at the same time they approve of sexual relations among peers. Thus, the image of the world and social relations in the view of teenage orphans differs significantly from the image of the world of family children.
