Diagnosis of the moral and psychological characteristics of a difficult teenager
Abstract
The authors developed a block of diagnostic techniques to study the moral and psychological characteristics of difficult adolescents 14-16 years old. The validity of the methods is determined by the differentiation of the survey results between three samples of subjects (juvenile criminals, adolescents at risk (from special groups of vocational schools), adolescents from high school (control sample). The results of the diagnosis showed that this psychodiagnostic battery is able to broadly cover the personal distortions of an adolescent, as well as identify adolescents at risk who are able to demonstrate illegal behavior and commit offenses in a criminal situation.
