IMPLICIT HOSTILITY AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR IN YOUNG PEOPLE
The problem of human destructiveness arises in connection with the deep crisis of humanity and the decline of culture that society is experiencing. Aggression is unanimously defined by sociocultural psychoanalysis as a property rooted in the very conditions of human existence. The aim was to study the implicit hostility and aggressive behavior in 120 law-abiding and socially adapted young people. The study is relevant since that aggressiveness in a modern civilized society is not socially approved, therefore, it can acquire various masks in the form of hostility, verbal and non-verbal manifestations, auto-aggression. Implicit hostility and aggressiveness of behavior are investigated using the methods of Cook-Medley and Bass-Perry. When conducting the research, scientific publications in open press materials were used, selected in accordance with the purpose of the study, which are contained in domestic and foreign databases. Implicit hostility and aggressiveness of behavior were studied in 120 law-abiding and socially adapted young people. It was shown that significant differences in general between men and women using the Cook-Medley method were revealed only in terms of aggressiveness. Moreover, the cynicism factor, both among men and among women, has significantly higher rates. In men, the average correlation between the values of the scales was revealed, while in women, a strong correlation was found only between the indicators of cynicism and aggressiveness, between the other indicators there was a moderate correlation. Since high values according to the Cook-Medley method among men and women were found in isolated cases, the average indicators of the scales with a tendency to a high level were separately analyzed based on the degree of aggressiveness of the examined individuals. It was revealed that in men the correlation between the indicators of aggressiveness and cynicism, aggressiveness and hostility was moderate, and between the indicators of cynicism and hostility it was average. In women, the correlation between the indicators of aggressiveness and cynicism, aggressiveness and hostility were moderate, and between the indicators of cynicism and hostility it was strong. Significant differences between men and women in the studied parameters were not revealed, however, a higher rate of cynicism in women was revealed. When analyzing the studied factors of the Bass-Perry method, it was shown that between men and women there is a significant difference only in the parameter of anger. At the same time, the parameters of physical aggression turned out to be the highest, and the parameters of anger and hostility significantly differed only in men. When studying the correlation between the scales of the Bass-Perry method, it was shown that it was revealed only between the indicators of anger and hostility (a medium one in men and a high one in women). When comparing the indicators of hostility between men and women according to the Cook-Medley and Bass-Perry methods, no significant differences were found, even though for men the correlation between the indicators was average, and for women it was weak. Based on the results obtained, in the logic of psychoanalytic pedagogy, the conditions for preventing aggression in young people are an increase in the levelof professional competence of teachers through mastering the available methods of psychoanalytic correction.
