Abstract:
The article represents the results of the research of the aggressive social tendencies among
the teenagers with deviant behavior. The behavior is considered deviant, if there are persistently
displayed deviations from the social norms, as the deviations of a mercenary, aggressive orientation,
or the deviations of a socio-passive type. Among the social deviations of a mercenary orientation are
the delinquencies and actions connected with the aspiration for a material, a monetary, or a property
benefi t (theft, larceny, speculation, patronage etc.). The social deviations of aggressive orientation
are expressed in the actions against personality (insult, hooliganism, beating, rape, murders). The
deviations of a socio-passive type are expressed in the aspiration for the escape from the active
social life, in the civic responsibilities and debts evasion, in the unwillingness to solve personal or
social problems. Among such deviations is the evasion from work or study, vagrancy, the use of
alcohol, drugs or toxic substances which create the world of illusions and destroy the mentality. The
extreme manifestation of a socio-passive position of a person is suicide. It is established that all examined teenagers systematically demonstrated the unacceptable behavior, treated impudently
and cruelly their peers and the juniors, and the elders. The research of their anamnesis showed
that the aggressive behavior had become habitual for them, and in the situations with the possible
alternatives they had chosen the illegal ways of behavior. The methodological base of the research
consists of the up-to-date achievements of epistemology. The author uses the theoretical, the general
philosophical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction,
observation, modeling), the traditional juridical methods (formal logical), and the methods which
are used in the special sociological research (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). The results of the
research of the unproductive patterns of teenagers’ behavior show that such patterns are the results
of the habitual (subjective) coping strategies. It is traditionally assumed that the coping strategies of
behavior are typical for particular persons, and are formed spontaneously or as the results of special
trainings. As the delinquent teenagers didn’t have any special training, their behavior is the result
of a spontaneous upbringing. In the modern Western psychology the social paternalism school is
considered as a continuation of neobehaviorism, and this approach, as the results of the research
testify, is theoretically substantiated. The cognitive strategy prevails in the behavior of 24, 7 – 25, 1%
of teenagers of the both age groups, and of 27, 3 – 23% of teenagers living in Moscow and in the
Russian regions. It means that the socio-psychological features of their unproductive behavior can
be described in such semantic symbols as implacability, confusion, ignorance, and the set of their
own importance.
