SPORT AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF SOCIALIZATION AND A WAY TO MODIFY “TROUBLED” TEENAGERS BEHAVIOR

Abstract

In sports activities, during the process of regulating the behavior of adolescents and teenagers, interpersonal and intergroup relationships are important as they contribute to transformation of deviant behavior. It is well known that people cannot evolve and exist outside of human society, communications and culture. This is where worldview and path of development lies. The psychological characteristics of teenagers with deviant behavior differ greatly. They require special individual approach, clear knowledge, skills, abilities and interpersonal relationships. The problem of deviant behavior among teenagers remains one of the most difficult socioeconomic and socio-psychological problems that our society has faced. Although at present the state bodies as well as many international and national non-governmental organizations, including sports federations are interested in overcoming this problem, the problem of deviant behavior among teenagers is still actual.
