Abstract
The paper examines the psychological foundations of the emergence of behavioral deviations within the framework of family upbringing. The study addresses the problem of raising an adolescent in a complete family as a crucial condition for the stable formation of their worldview, the absence of which entails a complex of antisocial behavior and the violation of socially accepted norms. Driven by socio-political changes, the socio-psychological characteristics of the environment have transformed, including the moral and psychological climate of the family affecting adolescent upbringing, which has left children and adolescents in highly vulnerable groups. In this context, the study of behavioral deviations is of exceptional importance, particularly from a psychological perspective. The primary factors contributing to the emergence of deviant behavior have been analyzed, and preventive measures have been proposed.
Novelty
Numerous psychologists have studied the risks of individual behavioral deviations conditioned by environmental influences.
C. Lombroso substantiated the role of biological factors underlying criminal behavior, remaining a proponent of "crude materialism."
Later, drawing upon the works of C. Lombroso, E. Ferri developed the concept of social factors contributing to juvenile delinquency, becoming the founder of the biosocial theory of crime.
B. F. Skinner argued that human behavior is shaped by the environment, controlled by the environment, and is predictable. At the same time, he denied that human behavior is determined by internal "autonomous" factors.
Behavioral deviations among adolescents are the result of both biological and social factors, particularly an unfavorable environment and the negative impact of the family.
We have investigated behavioral deviations conditioned by the factor of a dysfunctional family in the following context:
1. the impact of the family on adolescent psychology;
2. the preconditions for the emergence of deviant behavior;
3. the predominance of the father's role in the process of adolescent development and behavior formation;
4. the negative impact of incompatible parents on the upbringing and moral-psychological state of the adolescent;
5. behavioral manifestations conditioned by the moral and psychological decline of the adolescent.
As a result of the study, we identified the predominance of the absence of the father figure as a primary precondition for the emergence of deviant behavior.
Conclusion
The process of normal family upbringing is carried out in a complete family with the bilateral participation of both parents. It is the cornerstone of raising a healthy generation and an individual with high values. The formation of a person’s social value system begins with healthy family upbringing and continues within the educational system, shaping the relationship between the individual and society.
As a radical means of correcting deviant behavior, we propose:
- To carry out psychological work with psychologically incompatible parents aimed at mitigating their interpersonal incompatibility in the context of strengthening the father figure in the family and enhancing the expression of maternal tenderness and care.
- To conduct moral and psychological work with incompatible parents in the framework of developing reflective self-regulation, practicing self-criticism, objective self-assessment, and mutual compromise.
- To provide incompatible parents with essential knowledge in the field of family upbringing and to implement targeted activities to improve their psycho-pedagogical preparedness.
The primary goal of "GITASTGH" is to renew and maximize the utilization of scientific research and educational potential by integrating the best national practices and aligning them with international standards.
