ETHIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN PREVENTION OF SUICIDE BEHAVIOUR OF TEENAGE AND YOUTHFUL AGE

A number of factors can influence on the development of suicide behavior: sex, age, place of residence, marital status, profession, state of health. Influence of economic and social factors on the level of suicide activity of the population is noted [1]. The age of the suitsident is of particular importance when accounting risk factors. For example, in the USA and the countries of Europe there are certain peaks of frequency of suicides - in teenage (15-19 years) and advanced age (60-75) which are described in literature as "youth peak" and "involution peak" respectively [2]. Russia also allocates two "peak" periods: for parasuicide-teenage and youthful age, for complete suicides - elderly and senile. Also, a number of researchers notes increase in level of suicide activity among men of working-age. Among teenagers and seniors in Russia the share of suicides has also considerably increased [3] in recent years. The period of teenage age in psychology is characterized as the crisis period. They have a new growth - "feeling of maturity", and new meanings, values of adulthood, there are no interaction forms in the adult world yet. In this regard there is obvious a problem of development of effective methods of diagnostics of ethic and psychological qualities of the personality. At the same time the most relevant are the researches of development of ethic and psychological characteristics in the teenage and youthful environment as this age is sensitive in moral development of the personality.
