Korolev Daniil Mikhailovich

The relevance of the study of autoaggressive behavior in adolescents studying in secondary and special educational institutions is determined by the high prevalence of this phenomenon among adolescents, its negative impact on psychoemotional development and social adaptation, as well as insufficient study of the specific mechanisms of autoaggression formation in the educational environment, taking into account individual-personal and situational factors. The novelty of the study lies in the review of the forms and motivational aspects of autoaggression, including verbal, physical, disguised and indirect manifestations, which are determined by a complex of psychological, social and neurobiological factors. The leading methodology of the study is a systems approach integrating the principles of psychological and social analysis for a comprehensive study of autoaggressive behavior in adolescents using research methods that allow identifying patterns, determinants and mechanisms of formation of this phenomenon in the educational environment. The results of an empirical study conducted using the questionnaire of E.V. Yanovskaya, the Bass-Darkey method and the CES-D scale of depressive states. Statistically significant correlations between the severity of autoaggression, the level of depressive symptoms and self-esteem are established. Social and psychological risk factors characteristic of the educational environment of secondary vocational education are discussed, and recommendations for prevention are formulated.
