Features of anti-vital behavior of adolescents

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of anti-vitality and the peculiarities of its presentation in adolescents. The factors that increase the risk of anti- vital behavior in adolescents have been identified. The results of an experimental study of the level of anti–vitality and resilience of 15-16 aged adolescents are presented. The following methods were used: Questionnaire “Anti-vitality and resilience” by O.A. Sagalakova, D.V. Truevtsev; “Vitality test” by G.V. Rezapkina. Data analysis showed the presence of a significant number of adolescents with a high level of anti-vitality and a low level of resilience. A high level was found on the following scales: anti-vital thoughts and actions, loneliness, distrust, anxious rumination and a tendency to antisocial behavior. Timely study of risk factors and the level of anti-vitality and resilience will make it possible to build preventive work to level them and harmonize the social situation of development and the condition of adolescents as well as prevent the occurrence of deviations.
