Introduction. The need to form responsibility as a personality trait that ensures personal growth and development of each person is currently considered as a condition for adaptation to the modern world. The problem of responsibility in relation to the category of at-risk adolescents is characterized by the importance of the formation of social-personal responsibility as a generalizing characteristic of volitional behavior, synthesizing and including manifestations of various volitional, moral-volitional and moral qualities of an individual. The purpose of the article is to study the main components of social-personal responsibility as the basis for the formation of at-risk adolescents as a subject of self-development, the conditions for the formation of personal responsibility in the specified category of adolescents. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in seven (7) educational institutions in the city of Tula and the Tula region (Russian Federation) among 13-14-year-old adolescents (n=103, of which 16 were attributed to the risk group). The diagnostic program included the following methods for the study of responsibility, coping strategies, self-esteem, self-control in communication among the subjects. Methods of mathematical statistics: G-test, Pearson's chi-squared test. Research results. It was revealed that in at-risk adolescents, the identified components of social-personal responsibility (cognitive, emotional, volitional, behavioral ones) are weak links that negatively affect the course of their subjective-personal development, distorting the directions of self-development at this age, leading them onto the deviant development path. At the control stage of the experiment, differences were revealed in all indicators of the studied variables for each component. The number of at-risk adolescents with low indicators of responsibility, communicative control, willpower, with pronounced maladjustment has decreased, the number of students with adequate self-esteem has increased. The least significant shifts occurred in the behavioral component. According to the “School of Responsibility” methodology, the value of the χ2 criterion is 4.952; “Diagnostics of general self-esteem” by G.N. Kazantseva (χ2 = 3.256); “Assessment of self-control in communication” (χ2 = 4.91); “Self-assessment of willpower” (χ2 = 0.686); “Coping strategies” (χ2 = 3.841). The relationship between the factorial and effective traits is statistically insignificant, the level of significance is p> 0.05. This indicates the need to continue working with the identified at-risk adolescents. Conclusion. A set of psychological-pedagogical tools for the formation of social-personal responsibility in at-risk adolescents should include as follows: individual and group consultations, interactive seminars, master classes, quests, discussions, classes with training elements, project activities, role-playing games, training lessons.

Difficult Transition

Teenage boys are a source of considerable concern in society, with generally poorer health, educational, and social outcomes than their female counterparts. Of particular concern are “at-risk” adolescents, who by definition are liable to poorer outcomes than peers not deemed at-risk. However, there are indications that activities such as mindfulness may offer opportunities for such adolescents to negotiate more positive constructions of masculinity. This study piloted a new four-week mindfulness-based intervention, created specifically for a group of eight at-risk adolescent boys at a school in London. In-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with participants before and after the intervention and analyzed using grounded theory. The data revealed an overarching theme of “pressure control.” Participants depicted themselves as facing multiple pressures, many of which related to making the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. However, the context of the intervention enabled them to generate a masculine construction in which they were able to reclaim agency and self-control. Notably, such control was often exercised in the direction of facilitating emotional connection and agility, thus subverting traditional masculine expectations. The results show that at-risk adolescent boys are capable of more nuanced and skilled emotional competencies than they are often given credit for.

The article is devoted to the study of student's coping strategies influence on the level of their subjective well-being in conditions of distance learning. It was found that student's coping strategies have an impact on the level of their psychological comfort. Using regression analysis it was revealed that the variability of student's life well-being is determined by the following coping strategies: positive self-esteem; responsibility; planning; escape and self-control. It was developed the typology of students in the conditions of distance education, which includes such indicators of dominant coping strategies: the level of psychological comfort, dominant coping and measure of stress tolerance. According to the certain typology, three types of students were defined: 1) adaptive type (high indicators of well-being, high indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant strategies “self-esteem”, “responsibility” and “planning” ); 2) maladaptive type (low indicators of well-being, low indicators of tolerance to stress, dominant coping “escape”); 3) average adaptive type (average indicators of well-being, average indicators of tolerance to stress; dominant strategies “responsibility”, “self-control”, low indicators of coping “positive self-esteem”). The results of the study indicate that students who are best adapted to distance learning and have a high level of psychological comfort tend to evaluate themselves positively, treat work responsibly, plan their studies and have an average level of self-control.

This research investigated the relationship between adolescent afterschool program attendance, self-esteem and feelings of community connectedness. Thirty-nine of the 61 at-risk adolescents enrolled in two federally funded, community based afterschool programs participated in the study. Participants completed a 10-item self-esteem questionnaire and a 5-item section of the Youth Involved in Community Issues Survey (YICI) to measure perceptions of community connectedness. Attendance records were also collected from the sites. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlations. Results indicated that there was not a significant relationship between the total variables. The individual item analysis, however, did find a significant relationship between adolescent community connectedness and self esteem items. Findings suggest that there is a relationship to be explored and strengthened through means of community outreach for adolescents. Conclusions from this study have important implications for youth practice. Specifically, program leaders need to help adolescents get involved in the community as contributing members.

Since psychology professionals have a moral and ethical responsibility to evaluate the effectiveness of different products and services aimed at improving psychological/physical well-being, development, and/or performance, the purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Winners for Life book (and accompanying Parent Instructor Guide) on improving a variety of psychological factors for at-risk adolescents. Participants were 96 pairs from the Big Brothers/Little Brothers, Big Sisters/Little Sisters program. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Winners for Life book, Winners for Life book plus instructor guide, or control group. Each group participated in a 12-week intervention program. Results revealed that both Winners for Life book conditions resulted in greater increases in self-esteem, self-perceived goal setting ability, optimism, and hope than the control condition, with the Winners for Life book plus instructor guide condition achieving the greatest improvements.

Islamic Values

In the development process known as the adolescent stage, adolescents are often viewed as not having fully reached cognitive maturity. According to the Islamic perspective, at-risk adolescents are identified for their non-conforming trait. This may mean the abandonment of Islam as a path and a lifestyle. As such, it is most likely that these at-risk adolescents end up compromising Islamic values. The objective of this paper is to identify factors that contribute to delinquency from the perspective of Islam. Research is conducted through analyses of Qur’anic verses, hadiths, as well as secondary sources.  Data is then analysed through inductive observation and presented conceptually and theoretically. This paper finds that delinquency are caused by two contributing factors. The first is the individual’s weak iman (faith) or the individuals’ lack of Islamic understanding; secondly, external factors such as the environment that also play a contributing role in delinquency. However, the depth to which these factors contribute to the problem depend on the individual’s self-control as well as the amount of exposure the individual has to the aforementioned factors. It is thus important that Islamic teaching play a crucial role in curbing delinquency especially during the adolescent stage. Key words: at-risk adolescents, delinquency, Islamic teaching.   Dalam proses perkembangan usia remaja, sering kali remaja dikaitkan dengan usia yang belum mencapai tahap kematangan berfikir. Menurut perspektif agama, remaja berisiko dapat dikenal pasti dalam masalah penyimpangan. Penyimpangan ialah meninggalkan kebenaran dari jalan yang lurus menurut tuntutan agama Islam. Oleh itu, masalah penyimpangan remaja boleh membawa krisis nilai dalam kehidupan. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penyimpangan menurut perspektif agama. Kaedah kajian dijalankan menerusi analisis kandungan dokumen berdasarkan dalil-dalil al-Quran dan hadith serta sumber-sumber karya sekunder. Data-data dianalisis menerusi proses penelitian secara induktif dan dijelaskan dalam bentuk konsep dan teori. Hasil kajian mendapati faktor penyimpangan dalam Islam merujuk kepada dua faktor gabungan iaitu pertama, faktor dalaman iaitu kelemahan iman atau tiada kesedaran jiwa beragama yang boleh menghalang manusia dari menyimpang. Kedua, faktor luaran iaitu kewujudan desakan dorongan luar yang menggalakkan kepada perbuatan menyimpang yang menjadi faktor penggerak dari pengaruh persekitaran. Walau bagaimanapun, risiko dalam perspektif agama dan kaitannya dengan faktor penyebab perlakuan mengambil risiko bergantung kepada kawalan tabiat seseorang yang terdedah terhadap pengaruh kedua-dua faktor tersebut. Oleh itu, penekanan kepada aspek agama sangat dituntut semasa proses perkembangan akil baligh remaja.   Kata kunci: Remaja berisiko, penyimpangan, ajaran Islam
