суицидальное поведение

The article provides information about the round-table meeting held on June 9, 2022 “Development of students’ positive thinking, principles of a healthy lifestyle, and prevention of suicidal behaviour”.

The article presents the results of empirical study, which investigates correlation between empathy level characteristics and teenagers' suicidal behavior. The use of psycho-diagnostic tools (questionnaire for suicidal behavior identification by A. A. Kucher and V. P. Kostukevich, T. N. Razuvaeva's questionnaire on suicidal risk, questionnaire on ability to empathy by A. Mehrabian and N. Epschtein) based on a sample of teenagers (N=100), revealed that the high level of empathy is one of the factors, which leads to suicidal risk decrease.

The present article makes an attempt of analysis and contemplation about cultural, historical, psychological, and spiritual reasons of modern Russian teenagers’ suicidal behavior. The results showed that the reason is in an anthropological crisis that leads to dissociation with culture and spiritual traditions. People’s orientation towards surrogate values decreases the society’s synergy, brings in destructive and self-injurious forms of behavior (including suicidal attempts) and decreases the level of survivability.

The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical research of the system of values and social attitudes of adolescents that are prone to suicidal behavior. The conceptual foundation for studying interconnection between axiological orientation and social attitudes is disposition system of a personality.
