Психологический контент переживания одиночества подростками в социокультурном пространстве постмодернизма

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the issue of subjective experience of loneliness by younger adolescents as a characteristic of the personality development in the period of transition to adulthood. A psychological discourse was presented of the distinctive features of experiencing loneliness by younger adolescents in the context of subjective alienation. The unsatisfied affiliation need and the deficiency congruence of interpersonal relationships of a growing individual were identified as the main determinants of loneliness. Drawing on theoretical reasoning and an empirical research of younger adolescents’ personality constructs, it was shown that experiencing loneliness is primarily associated with the manifestation of an imbalance in personality identification. It was proved that the conscious self-regulation and reflexive control of personal activity contribute to the implementation of the constructive strategies of the subject’s genesis of younger adolescents.
