Abstract

Currently, there is an increase in the deviant behavior of students in Russia. Numerous studies are aimed at studying the causes of deviations of adolescents and young men. This is due to the urgency of identifying certain personality characteristics of students with deviant behavior.
 Purpose: to study the relationship between the tendency to deviant behavior and certain personality traits of adolescent and adolescent students.
 Methods. The methodology of “Determining the tendency to deviant behavior” by A. N. Orel, 16-factor personality questionnaire by R. B. Cattell, the methodology of “Diagnostics of the real structure of value orientations of personality”, author S. S. Bubnov. Statistical methods of processing the results of empirical research in the STATISTICA program were used.
 Results. We have revealed the relationship of high indicators on the scale of the attitude to socially desirable responses according to the method of “Determining the propensity for deviant behavior” by A. N. Orel with the peculiarities of the verbal intelligence of the respondents. The tendency to overcome norms and rules has a connection with nonconformism, a tendency to addictive behavior, weak volitional control of emotional reactions and a tendency to delinquent behavior are associated with verbal intelligence. The tendency to self-harming and self-destructive behavior, as well as the tendency to aggression and violence are interrelated with such a personality trait as radicalism.
 Conclusion. The conducted research proves the relationship of the tendency to deviant behavior of students with certain traits of their personality.
 Practical implications. The results allow us to evaluate some personality traits of students with deviant behavior and provide opportunities for developing approaches to their psychological and pedagogical support.
