The protest behaviour as an index of a person`s disadaptation in the teen-aged period

This research is devoted to studying reasons and peculiarities of the teenager' protest behaviour. L. Vigotsky`s, E. Erikson`s, A. Rean`s and other opinions concerning the protest origin are analysed in the paper. The results of the three empirical researches are summarized. It has been revealed that training in specialized institutions, sports practice lead to the escalation of the teenager' protest behaviour. The author proves the fact that sports studies which don't involve a teenager into communication don't save him from disadaptation and the crisis. It is noted that it is impossible to overcome the teen-aged crisis by teacher' efforts, as teachers themselves are often in stress situations, caused by the insufficient evaluation of their professional activity by the society. Besides, it is proved that teenagers having the protest behaviour are mainly inclined to aggressiveness, to primitive psychological ways of defence, their coping - strategies are less effective. All these factors taken together only intensify the teen - aged crisis. The author points to the fact that the protest behaviour can be an integral, factorized index of a teenager's personality disadaptation and troubles.
