Prevention of addictive behavior of youth students in today's conditions with the help of psychological and pedagogical training

Abstract

In the article, psychological and pedagogical training is considered as a method of
active psychological correction of addictive behavior in student youth. Addictive
behavior is not a stable entity. Socialization defects at the stage of adolescence
and young adulthood lead to unfavorable (abnormal) personality formation. This
manifests itself, in particular, in the emergence of negative psychological
neoplasms, addictive manifestations in behavior, the absence or loss of
psychosocial identity, deformed needs and, as a result, the emergence of
addiction to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc. Personality development is a multifaceted and multi-determined process. One of the components of this process is
the development of self-awareness – the idea of oneself in its various
manifestations. The principle of an individual approach in working with young
people characterized by various forms of deviant behavior can be implemented if
we take into account the peculiarities of the individual's psychodynamic properties,
which to a large extent genetically determine the formation of his temperament
and character. The comprehensive approach developed by us, taking into account
fundamental psychological and pedagogical provisions, allowed us to
experimentally substantiate the possibilities of a combined pedagogical and
psychological influence on the individual for the purpose of psychoprophylaxis and
correction of deviant forms of behavior, development of vital qualities in them,
optimization of the emotional and volitional sphere. Under the conditions of
training, student youth search for alternative (socially acceptable) ways to satisfy
their own needs and interact with others. It is early prevention, i.e. prevention of
deviant behavior, that has the most effective result.
