Gender differences in the protest behaviour of adolescents

This article is devoted to the empirical study of the content and focus of the adolescent protest behavior. The lack of the destructive, inadaptive determinants of the protest behaviour allows the teenager to assert one’s rights, interests and needs efficiently and in socially acceptable manner, and it is a factor of the auspicious passing of the age crisis of 11-15 years old. The data analysis, based upon the regressive model of B. I. Hayman, showed the more positive focus of the protest behaviour represented by girls in comparison with boys.
