Psychosocial Technologies to Solve Addiction Youth Communication Problems

Introduction. This article is devoted to the study of psychological problems in communication and communication in addicted youth. The introduction presents the main manifestations and etiological principles of the emergence of preconditions for the formation of addictive behavior. The tendency to actualize the study of deviant behavior as a marker of the most complex types of psychological aspects related to adaptation in society and search for oneself is analyzed. The data obtained can form a psychotechnological form of solving communication problems. Furthermore, the research model conducted research can become a reliable type of screening research of predictors of the manifestation of addiction in young people.

Objective. Find the main predictors of psychological problems in communication in addicted youth.

Methods and Research. As a study, the objective of the investigation was 15 people: girls and men aged 18-35 years, living in the territory of the Ural Federal District, staying in the Center for Social Adaptation of the Sverdlovsk region. To realize the purpose of the study, such methods as "The questionnaire of dysfunctional beliefs in borderline personality disorder PBQ-BPD" and "IAF autonomous functioning index" were applied. As a statistical processing of data, Pearson's χ2 criterion of difference between two or more relative indices was used.

Results. Differences in indicators were found, which confirms a high degree of distrust and defense in young people. The indicators of dependence did not reveal the degree of relevance, while high levels of authorship, interest, and susceptibility to control may be indicators of problems in communication and the manifestation of dependent behavior as a consequence of forms of communication.

Discussion. The results obtained allow us to highlight the main causes of psychological problems in addicted youth. Programs operating in the centers of social adaptation lose their effectiveness, which is worth considering, focusing on the erroneous, distorted representation of adaptation for young people.
