THE INTERRELATION BETWEEN NATIONAL CHARACTER AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN THE CONTEXT OF ADOLESCENTS’ PSYCHOLOGICAL DYNAMICS

Abstract. This article analyzes the mutual influence of the formation of national character and anti­social behavior in the context of adolescent psychological dynamics. The research findings reveal that the internalization of national values contributes to the preservation of psychological stability, the strengthening of self-identification processes, and improved social adaptation in adolescents. Conversely, adolescents who distance themselves from national identity are more prone to social isolation, emotional instability, and anti­social behaviors. The theoretical perspectives presented emphasize the importance of psychological and ped­agogical interventions aimed at reinforcing adolescents’ sense of national identity. The study highlights the significance of national values in fostering adolescents' social integration and healthy psychosocial develop­ment in modern society.

Keywords: adolescents, national character, national identity, antisocial behavior, psychological dy­namics, social adaptation.
