SOCIAL ATTITUDES AND VALUE ORIENTATION OF THE TEENAGERS WITH MINIMAL MENTAL DYSFUNCTION AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH NORMAL ONTOGENY
We have done the analysis of the social attitudes and value orientation of the teenagers with minimal mental dysfunction and young people with normal ontogeny. We´ve used the following methods during the work (“The research of the value orientation” M. Rokeach, “The diagnosis of personal social attitudes” O. F. Potemkina, “The diagnosis of personal orientation” B. Bass). According to the results both teenagers with MMD and normal ontogeny have an unformed system of social orientation. Children with minimal mental dysfunction have high сognitive interest but have difficulties in mastering knowledge, skills and abilities in contrast to the normal development of young people. Also, studying in a special remedial class based on secondary school, children, compared to their peers from parallel classes, have a tendency to a reduced self-esteem. Besides, in spite of huge need of successful activity (study and work) young people with MMD don´t feel confident about their possibilities. Also they are mostly directed to the external orientation like money and social attraction.
