Life Values of Delinquent Adolescents: Ontogenetic Aspect

The article investigates the features of the life values of adolescents with manifestations of delinquent behavior in the ontogenetic aspect. The relevance of the study is justified by the significant interest and relevance of research issues to identify the causes of delinquent behavior, on the one hand, and significant changes in the structural and content aspect of delinquency, on the other.
The study involved 120 people. The sample was divided into 4 groups according to age and manifestations of delinquent behavior: experimental group Э1 included adolescents 12-14 years old with delinquent behavior, experimental group Э2 included adolescents 15-17 years old with delinquent behavior, control group К1 included adolescents 12-14 years old without delinquent behavior, control group К2 included adolescents 15-17 years without manifestations of delinquent behavior.
The morphological test of life values was used in the study (V. F. Sopov, L. V. Karpushina). This technique allows us to analyze the system of terminal life values and study the motivational and value structure of the personality. The morphological test of life values includes 8 types of life values: preservation of individuality, one's own prestige, social contacts, achievements, self-development, creativity, financial situation, spiritual satisfaction, which can be correlated with various spheres of life: professional life, training and education, family life, social activity, physical activity, hobbies.
According to the results of the study, the features of life values characteristic of all adolescents with delinquent behavior were revealed: a decrease in the severity of life values, the lack of a stable orientation of the personality, a decrease in the severity of life spheres in which life values could be formed and realized. The ontogenetic aspect is revealed in the strengthening of this trend as we grow older.
