A study of envy of adolescents, left without parental care

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of types of envy: envy-dislike and envy-despondency – in adolescents, from among orphans and adolescents brought up in biological families. Differences in the manifestation of types of envy in girls and boys were revealed. Teenage orphans are more likely to experience envy-dislike than "home" children. The experience of envy-hostility is accompanied primarily by emotions associated with the emotional stress of the subject (anger, irritation, indignation, nervous tension) and directed at the superior Other. The manifestation of the phenomenon of envy in adolescents from among orphans puts them at risk in the field of sociopsychological relations of the individual.
