SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF ADOLESCENTS' DEVIANT BEHAVIOR FORMATION

It is found that a family is involved in the socialization of adolescents and creates a certain model of adolescent behavior through the family relations. A harmonious family helps adolescents to pass the crisis by its direct and indirect influence. Non-harmonious family is regarded as one of the factors of adolescents' deviant behavior. It is indicated that adolescents who are raised in non-harmonious families are more likely to form pathobehavior reactions. The article highlights that a family deals not only with satisfaction of adolescents' psychological needs but also satisfies material and everyday needs. Unsatisfied needs lead to mental stress. The long-term impact of such stress causes abnormal behavior. The psychological mechanisms of parents' influence over children were reviewed in the article. It was found that when parents with antisocial orientation use reinforcement mechanisms, their children adopt deviant behavior even without realizing it. Considering the fact that a family is directly involved in the educative function, we analyzed the types of improper parenting. We explained that hypoprotection in extreme forms is characterized by neglecting children, while hyperprotected children are deprived of their own life experiences and a sense of responsibility and have unstable and hysteroid traits. If children are brought up in conditions of high moral responsibility, they cannot cope with their 'unchildish' duties; it leads to dissatisfaction of their parents. If grandparents are involved into the upbringing process showing other educational approaches, a teenager cannot choose the correct one, therefore, he/she does not obey to any. It is determined that conditions of high moral responsibility could be the factors of deviant behavior emergence. Improper upbringing can lead to suicide intentions, most often observed when "emotional rejection" is used in the process of upbringing. Attention is focused on the fact that the relationship inside a family is an important factor in adolescent's deviant behavior formation. It was proposed to orient the psychotherapy effect at the whole family and its members in particular.
