Verification and validation of methods for studying socialization difficulties and the level of psychological well-being of adolescents

This article presents a theoretical review of the consequences of war-related stress in children. It is shown that the symptoms of stress and its consequences can complicate a child's socialization and have a negative impact on his or her level of psychological well-being. In accordance with the structural and functional model of psychological well-being previously developed by the authors and the “Scale of Psychological Well-Being of Studentsˮ created on its basis (A.G. Samokhvalova, E.V. Tikhomirova, N.S. Shipova, O.N. Vishnevskaya, 2022), this technique was adapted for adolescence. The article presents the results of a statistical analysis of the reliability and validity of the technique. Based on the socialization difficulties inherent in adolescents identified as a result of theoretical and empirical analysis, a questionnaire “Socialization Difficultiesˮ was created, the psychometric testing of which showed its validity and reliability. The article also presents instructions and empirical standards for the techniques. The questionnaires can be used in studies to determine the level of psychological well-being and socialization difficulties of adolescents.
