Psychological Analysis of Aggressive Tendencies in Adolescents Firstly Entered Socio-Protective Institution
The paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of aggressive and hostile tendencies among pupils of socio-protective institutions. In adolescents living in families, but found themselves in a difficult life situation, the prevalence of physical, verbal and indirect aggressiveness, significantly more frequently encountered irritability was revealed. In adolescents, orphans (true and social), on the contrary, the prevalence of negativism and the significantly more frequent suspicion are determined. The conducted research allows us to speak about two different reaction profiles in a collision with a new stressful situation in pupils of social protection institutions, depending on their belonging to the group. In one case, we are talking about the prevalence of the "aggressiveness index" (adolescents from families), in the case of orphanhood, the prevalence of hostile tendencies attracts attention. The data obtained are consistent with the results of the evaluation of traumatic experiences on the PIVIPSD questionnaire and the results of the determination of coping strategies of behavior, which is reflected in the article. It was concluded that there is a need for a differentiated approach in studying the issues of psychotraumatology in pupils of socio-protective institutions, one of the aspects of which should be a detailed study of aggressive and hostile tendencies at the affective, cognitive and behavioral levels. This approach explains the need to develop an appropriate algorithm for clinical, psychological and social assistance, depending on who belongs to the group.
