PSYCHOLOGICAL REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS: PREVENTION AND CORRECTION
The article is devoted to the study of the psychological causes of deviant behavior of adolescents and the study of the characteristics of its psychological diagnosis, prevention and correction. The study of the developmental characteristics of adolescents with deviant behavior from dysfunctional families differs significantly from the study of the mental processes of adolescents from prosperous families, both in the diagnostic tools of the study and in the procedure for prevention and correction. The basic principles that should guide the diagnosis and identification of causes of deviation are the principles of studying the natural behavior of adolescents, which implies a minimal invasion of the researcher into the usual everyday forms of adolescent behavior. Often, various diagnostic procedures are used to implement the chosen methods, as a result of which various individual and age-related mental peculiarities of the development of adolescents are manifested. To date, various remedial measures and preventive procedures are considered to be the most well-known, providing for conducting standardized observations of the adolescent's behavior, subsequent comparative analysis of the data obtained and age-related deviations in development and their causes. The most significant for diagnosing the causes of deviation is the study of the social status of the family, intra-family relations between parents, between parents and children. Adolescence is one of the most difficult crisis stages in the life of any person. In this regard, the concern that psychologists, educators and correctional teachers show is obvious. The crisis of adolescence is manifested in the failure to accept family values, the reorientation of attitudes, interests, tastes. All this is aggravated by the fact that the studied adolescents are brought up in dysfunctional families with deviant behavior of one or both parents.
