“…After studying the biography of the author, the Nobel Prize winner in literature in 2011, the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, known in Russia as a creator of experimental haiku (hokku), we use a certain educational resource for conversation with adolescents with deviant behavior. Holding a degree in psychology, Tomas Tranströmer worked with juvenile criminals, and then with people who were seriously injured at the workplace (Potemkin, 2001). A curious fact for students: the Swedes themselves note that Tranströmer has very good poems.…”

The relevance of the issue arises from the need to present experimental data confirming significance of the realization of educational potential of world literature in forming communicative skills of adolescents with deviant behavior. The purpose of this study is to uncover the scope of Humanities (primarily philological) in the process of addressing the realization of the creative potential of adolescents with deviant behavior in order to shape their moral values, create a positive learning and life motivation, and teach them to express their feelings and thoughts. The article consists of three parts. The first part of the article gives the theoretical basis of the development of communication skills among adolescents with deviant behavior. The second part of the article includes the research. The study involved 247 adolescents from two Kazan schools. As diagnostic tools, we have chosen the following diagnostics: 1) a diagnostic technique for deviating behavior (two options for girls and boys, respectively) by A.N. Orel; 2) the Cook and Medley Hostility Scale; 3) the Spielberger-Hanin Test. In the second stage, extracurricular activities were conducted with the experimental group for several months in order to carry out prevention using various activities and games, psychogymnastic exercises and trainings, and also to correct and reduce levels of aggression, anxiety, shyness, to correct the level of self-esteem among adolescents of the experimental group. In addition, in the experimental group, special trainings were held aimed at the formation of skills to properly express their thoughts. One of the types of work in this direction was the study of the haiku poetic genre unusual for Russian students. The third part of this article presents the analysis of the study and its conclusion. Haiku contributes to the realization of a strong emotional outburst; in addition, it is a good way to show how a person perceives the world around. The work on composing haiku with adolescents with deviant behavior helps go beyond self-analysis, personal concerns, and focuses on the outside world. The effectiveness of the program is verified and proven using the Wilcoxon T-test.

“…Items 9 and 10 were retained for "deceitfulness and theft" with α coefficients of 0.68 while items 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 were retained for "Serious Violation of rules" with α of .73. BPI-CD Brief Screening Index for Conduct Behaviour, discriminant validity was done with Youth Deviant Behavior Variety Scale of Sanches, Gouveia-Pereira, Marôco, Gomes, & Roncon, 2016). Table above showed a significant relationship between BPI-CD and Discriminant Validity (r = .338, p > .01), thus showing a strong convergent validity.…”

“…Criterion related analysis of this study was also conducted to examine the correlation between certain components of (BPI-CD) and Discriminant Validity Scale with "Youth Deviant Behavior Variety Scale" of Sanches, et al, (2016) and demographic variables of the students in both regular students and juveniles. Results showed a strong convergent validity which indicated a positive correlation between (BPI-CD) and Youth Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (see table 10).…”

Conduct Disorder (CD) can pose serious concerns to parents, home and the society, meanwhile assessing this construct in clinical practice has been based on western concepts which limited the cultural factors implicated in CD. This study presents a reliable and valid screening tools for conduct disorder among juveniles and general population respectively. Existing scales that assessed deviant behavior or CD were reviewed. A qualitative study was conducted using juveniles and college students between the age 10 to 19; this is to determine salient constructs related to CD. Themes were generated, and those related to specific predictors of CD were used to generate a 17-item of Brief Propensity Index for Conduct Disorder (BPI-CD). A cross-sectional survey was then conducted among 125 juveniles and college students to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. The participants were purposively selected. Construct validity using exploratory factor analysis was factored and Varimax rotated the scale into six components (KMO = .685, df=171, p<.001). Convergent validity results showed a significant relationship between BPI-CD and Youth Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (r=.338, p<.01), while discriminant validity results revealed a non-significant relationship between (BPI-CD) and Social Skills Scale (r=.101, p>.05), thus showing a strong validity. The reliability dimensions and subscales have meritorious reliability (Aggression to People/Animals, α =.76, Serious Violation of rule and destruction of property, α =.73; Deceitfulness and theft, α =.68). The overall Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.86. BPI-CD is therefore recommended as reliable and valid screening tool for conduct disorder tendency.

“…To evaluate the psychosocial features of the cohort study, the protocol includes a general questionnaire about social and family characteristics (e.g., schooling, marital status, and family structure), and six psychological assessment instruments. The authors aim to evaluate psychological, familiar, and social dimensions such as: (a) the occurrence of a set of experiences during childhood and adolescence, including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction (the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Questionnaire; Dube, Felitti, Dong, Chapman, Giles, & Anda, 2003); (b) psychopathic traits in adolescents and young adults up to the age of 20 (the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory—Short Version; Colins & Andershed, 2016); (c) the versatility of deviant behavior in the last year and throughout their lifetime (the Deviant Behavior Variety Scale; Sanches, Gouveia-Pereira, Marôco, Gomes, & Roncon, 2016); (d) their coping strategies when dealing with life difficulties (Brief COPE; Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989); (e) their psychopathological symptoms (the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995); and (f) their altruistic attitudes (the Altruistic Attitudes Scale; Loureiro & Lima, 2009). Five of the six questionnaires have between 12 and 28 items.…”

This article presents an international study of pro/antisocial behavior in young adults (SOCIALDEVIANCE1820). This is an ongoing cross-continental longitudinal research project that includes data and researchers from multiple countries across five continents. It aims to explore the intercultural universality of the risk and protective factors associated with pro/antisocial behavior and psychosocial adjustment during early adulthood. Researchers from all countries involved have already translated their questionnaires, selected an appropriate team, and started the data collection process. It is expected that this intercontinental longitudinal research project will have a tremendous social and scientific impact; this study will allow researchers to overcome many limitations of previous meta-analyses, such as limiting the applicability of data to developed countries and the bias caused by combining different assessment methods. Challenges in implementing cross-national studies, and the importance of this type of study to global policies, are discussed.
