Peculiarities of gender identity of deviant adolescents

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the formation and manifestation of gender identity in deviant adolescents. The authors analyzed the works devoted to the psychological development of adolescents, taking into account the acceptance or rejection of existing social roles. Special attention is paid to deviant behavior, which partly influences the formation of a person's identity. The authors conducted a study to identify the tendency towards victim behavior in adolescents and correlated them with the data obtained on the definition of character accentuation in students of a regular school and a boarding school. The results of the study confirmed the fact that adolescents with deviant behavior have specific characteristics that make their relationships with their peers and with adults especially difficult. The formation of the gender culture of adolescents takes place on the basis of physical, cognitive development in their relationship with peers and parents, taking into account their psycho-emotional state during puberty.
