Family upbringing styles and methods vs youth propensity for aggression

The study of the propensity of young people to react aggressively (readiness for aggression) is relevant because it affects everyone and is the cause of many disasters, crimes, and the growth of aggressive behavior of young people, which are reflected in the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Scientists are trying to identify the reasons, factors contributing to the manifestation of aggressive forms of behavior among young people. However, no Russian research was found in which the influence of parenting practices (styles of education, methods of education) on the development of readiness for aggression among young people was studied in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this research was to study the influence of family education practice on the development of readiness for aggression among young people. The experiment involved 237 people aged 18-24, who were randomly selected. Of these, 110 were girls and 127 were boys. All respondents were from complete families. The survey was carried out using the following methods: ‘The interpersonal behaviors inventory’, ‘Retrospective inventory of child rearing practices’, ‘Retrospective questionnaire of parenting styles’. The authors identified what forms of readiness for aggression are expressed among Russian youth, as well as gender characteristics. Emotional-Impulsive Readiness was found for girls and Habitual-Cognitive Readiness for boys. Mothers are perceived by young people as being more democratic while fathers, in the opinion of their children, used more often authoritarian and liberal (dismissive) parenting styles. The results of the study showed that mothers most often used positive and punitive parenting methods. College-educated fathers used positive parenting methods. The results obtained will be of interest for specialists working with families

Students’ physical and mental disorders: How to avoid victim behavior through exercise and sport

The object of this paper is to study the negative impact of Internet sites on the psyche of young people, to identify the facts of unsafe use of the Internet by students leading to the development of cyber addiction and victim behavior. The article is aimed at studying the propensity for victim behavior among University students in Russia and Bulgaria and developing recommendations to shape the information security of students on the Internet in order to help reduce victim behavior. The methods of the research are: theoretical (study and analysis of psychological, pedagogical, and methodological literature on the research problem; analysis, synthesis, and generalization of empirical data; causal analysis of pedagogical experience data); empirical (questionnaire, testing, survey); methods of qualitative interpretation and data processing. The authors outlined three stages of creating a safe educational environment to prevent and correct victim behavior of students on the Internet - organizational, practical, and generalizing. The results of the research show that serious, systematic, substantial preventive and corrective work is needed to reduce student victimization, cyber addiction, and the formation of information security for students on the Internet. Teaching students to carefully perceive and critically evaluate information is one of the possible ways to create safe behavior on the Web, since ignorance of the rules of work and communication leads to rash, risky, frivolous actions on the Internet. The outlined in the research three stages of creating a safe educational environment can be used by university teachers, educational psychologists, psychologists of the rehabilitation centers and psychological and pedagogical assistance centers for prevention and correction victim behavior of students on the Internet. The data obtained and their analysis help identify students with an increased victimization background and predict their personal development, organization of prevention processes and correction of victim student behavior in the Internet. The results can be useful when developing programs for safe use of content and online sites by adolescents and youth

The phenomenon of “victimization” in modern Russian and foreign studies

© 2020, Kazan Federal University. All rights reserved. Victimization of children and adolescents, as well as other groups in society is an important issue and complex issue that needs to be better understood so that measures can be put in place at every level to prevent and correct these phenomena. This study was based on the bibliometric analysis of relevant scientific literature in both Russian and foreign publications. The resulting qualitative analysis indicated a variety of viewpoints on the concept of victimology, with different approaches, theories of victimization, and concepts of specific aspects of prevention, minimization, correction, and individual assistance. A large number of publications are devoted to the relationship of victimization and other phenomena, especially in the school environment. Despite the diversity of the scientific field, the study identified differences in the knowledge of this definition in the global databases and an increasing number of publications dealing with this problem by both foreign and Russian researchers. The phenomenon of “victimization” requires a further in-depth approach to research of an interdisciplinary nature, as well as the development of conditions, models and methods of de-victimization at various levels
