| Abstract [eng] |
Master’s thesis explores the expression of adolescent boys’ negative aspirations for superiority as a factor generating delinquent behaviour. The study further aims to identify subjective purpose of the survey participants’ delinquent behaviour, future expectations, and the impact of institutionalization on the form specificity of the child’s delinquent behaviour. Based on Adler’s theory of individual psychology and Horney’s psychoanalytic social theory, the theoretical analysis of the concept of delinquent behaviour an negative aspirations for superiority was carried out as well as theoretical assumptions for the formation of delinquent behaviour were analysed in the present thesis. Juvenile delinquency is directly related to the expression of delinquent behaviour consequently awareness of the causes and sources of delinquency enables an individual corrective assistance to be provided. Negative aspiration for superiority builds up in the relationships with the primary institutions of socialization, family and educational environment specifically, and manifests itself as a mechanism for compensation of the sense of inferiority determined by the individual’s self approach and difficult conditions of his environment. Aspirations for superiority and power distort adolescent social relations: they are trying to consolidate their position in a rush regardless of the people round about, and their impetuses surpass the usual ones significantly. |
