Value Predictors of Civic Identity in Adolescents with Deviant Behavior
Abstract
Against the background of growing interest in the problems of forming the civic identity of adolescents, the question of the peculiarities of its formation in adolescents with deviant behavior, which are characterized by a value system that distinguishes them from their peers with conditionally normative development, remains insufficiently studied. The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at identifying value predictors of civic identity in adolescents with deviant behavior. The sample consisted of respondents (N = 130) aged 13-18 years (M = 15.25 ± 1.14), including 52 adolescents with stable deviant behavior, as well as 78 of their peers with conditionally normative behavior. The respondents answered the questions of the methodology “Valence of civic identity” and an abbreviated version of the “Portrait Value Questionnaire” (PVQ). According to the results of the study, the most significant values of adolescents in both groups are kindness, independence and safety, and the least importance is given to the values of authority. In addition, adolescents with deviant behavior note the importance of the value of conformity. It has been established that the value of authority is a negative predictor of civic identity in adolescents, regardless of age and normativity of behavior, while hedonism is also a significant predictor of civic identity for adolescents with deviant behavior. The prospects of studying the content of civic identity in adolescents with resilient deviant behavior are discussed.
