PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ANXIETY IN MODERN ADOLESCENTS

The work is devoted to the problem of anxiety in adolescence. The factors influencing the level of adolescent anxiety are analysed. The results of an empirical study on the psychological characteristics of anxiety in older and younger adolescents are presented. Conclusions are drawn about the specifics of the most common causes of anxiety in schoolchildren aged 11-13 and 15-17. Older and younger adolescents have a fairly high level of situational and personal anxiety, while by the time they graduate, boys and girls acquire anxiety management skills.
