Comportamentul agresiv al adolescenților și securitatea psihologică

Abstract

In the context of the new social, economic, and educational challenges, contemporary teenagers face security vulnerabilities both physically and psychologically. Changes due to the specifics of age and society can cause maladaptive manifestations, such as aggressive behaviors, to appear in some teenagers. Following the experimental study undertaken, we found that these behaviors are influenced by the level of self-esteem development. Low self-esteem can generate 21 aggressive reactions on the part of adolescents, affecting their security, as well as those with whom adolescents interact. The findings can help us organize measures to ensure their security. It is important to consider that adolescence, characterized by the formation of identity, is considered the period in which the bases of behaviors and habits related to a healthy lifestyle are formed, and these develop and stabilize during the subsequent periods of age. Keywords: aggressive behavior, physical aggression, verbal aggression, self-esteem, identity, psychological security.
