Characteristics of Interpersonal Interaction of Adolescents Prone to Aggression

The article provides an analysis of the results of a study of the unique aspects of interpersonal interaction among adolescents prone to aggression. The theoretical basis for the purpose of the work was provided by modern research, showing the versatility of the process of interpersonal interaction between adolescents and manifestations of aggression. The respondents of the study were teenagers from educational schools in Moscow, numbering 68 people aged 15-16 years. The empirical study used the aggressiveness test by L.G. Pochebut, “Aggressive behavior” methodology by E.P. Ilyin and P.A. Kovalev, interpersonal relations questionnaire by A.A. Rukavishnikov, emotional empathy questionnaire by A. Mehrabian, N. Epstein. The results of the empirical study established significant differences in the interpersonal interaction of adolescents prone to aggression. They are characterized by a desire to dominate, a lack of willingness to control their behavior, low selectivity and criticality in choosing communication partners, as well as a low level of empathy development. The obtained results can be used in work with adolescents aimed at creating favorable interactions among adolescents and reducing aggression.
