ADOLESCENTS AT RISK: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Introduction. In recent decades, there has been a worrying trend – an increase in the number of adolescents at risk of deviant behavior. Specialists in the field of education and law enforcement agencies are responsible for improving psychological and pedagogical work with such individuals. The solution to this problem lies in expanding scientific understanding of the individual psychological characteristics of adolescents prone to deviant behavior. The aim of the study is to examine the individual psychological characteristics of adolescents at risk through the prism of somatic characteristics of their mental state. Research methods. Neurophysiological and psychophysiological studies of neurotransmitter and hormone levels, as well as measurement of electroencephalographic brain activity (EEG). The study sample involved 30 adolescents at risk. Results. Neurophysiological and psychophysiological characteristics specific to the risk group have been identified based on the indicators such as catecholamine hormone levels, 17-hydroxyprotoprosterone levels, and theta brain activity (EEG). These characteristics have been interpreted psychologically in the context of the prerequisites for deviant behavior. The conclusions of the study are directed towards the organisation of preventive and proactive work with adolescents classified as being at risk. Further directions for theoretical and applied research into the individual psychological characteristics of this category of minors have been outlined.
