Abstract

The article is devoted to the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. The subject of research – socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. The purpose of the study is to empirically study the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. Objectives of the study: to analyze the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties and using psychodiagnostic techniques to determine which socio-psychological features provoke the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. Particular attention is paid to the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. It is pointed out that in order to clarify the essence of deviant behavior, it is necessary to identify not only its external manifestations, but also the internal properties, without which it cannot exist. Any deviations (deviations) in human behavior are the result of inconsistency of his desires, aspirations, and claims with the social norms of the environment in which he operates: he lives, is brought up, studies and works. When a person does not agree or does not accept the demands of society, he challenges him in the form of any behavioral disorders, the content of which, of course, is determined by his physiological, psychological and social qualities. It can be noted that deviations in the adolescent environment (aggression, drug addiction, drunkenness, etc.) in their purpose, consequences differ significantly, say, from deviations among adults (criminal and economic crimes). Deviant behavior is defined as a personal challenge of a person, in particular, a teenager, to the social environment, which is caused by inconsistency between his personal demands and social requirements (norms, standards, rules, regulations) and is manifested by such social and behavioral actions and actions that are not approved (condemned)) close environment or society. The article describes the course and procedure of research organization. The results of research on each technique concerning definition of level of accentuation of character (Shmishek’s questionnaire), aggressiveness (Freiburg’s questionnaire), ways of mastering with difficult life situations are described (adaptation of the technique WCQ), level of hopelessness (Нореlеssnеss Sсаlе, Веck еt аl.). The conclusions indicate the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. It is emphasized that unfavorable living and upbringing conditions in the family, problems of acquiring knowledge and related learning failures, inability to build relationships with others and conflicts arising on this basis, can lead to deviant behavior in adolescents. With the help of such psychodiagnostic techniques as character accentuations, aggression questionnaire, questionnaire of ways to master difficult life situations, the scale of hopelessness, it is determined which psychological features provoke the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. These are the presence of certain accentuations of character, the level of aggression above average and the methods that the teenager uses to master a difficult life situation. The conclusions reveal the prospects for further development.
