Interconnection between Socialization, Subjective Well-Being, and Readiness to Risk in Representatives of «Emo» Subculture
The article presents the analysis of interconnection between subjective well-being, level of social readiness for risk based on the two samples, which include “Emo” teenagers and young people that do not attribute themselves to any informal groups. The study shows the perspectiveness of investigating youth subcultures. Psycho-diagnostic methods including E. B. Fantalov’s “Subjective well-being scale”, M. I. Rozhkov’s “Method for studying personal socialization”, and G. Schubert’s “Risk attitude scale” allowed to discover that the levels of subjective well-being and socialization in representatives of youth subcultures are lower, while their readiness to risk is higher than in the control group. Subjective well-being, socialization and readiness to risk are correlated. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be implemented by teachers and psychologists of educational institutions for diagnostics and correction of social-psychological adaptation and subjective well-being in students.
