The Experience Of Mental States Of Adolescents Orphans

Abstract


The article describes the issue of development of mental states of orphaned children being brought up in institutionalized institutions. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the course of mental states in adolescents living in family deprivation conditions. The relevance of this problem is caused by the fact that the experience of mental states plays significant role in the process of adaptation and socialization of children, in development of communication and interaction skills in society, in personal development and the formation of an emotional-volitional sphere. In this regard, this article is aimed at revealing the content of subjective experience of such mental states as joy and sadness. The leading method in the study of this problem is the method of content analysis of subjects’ self-reports. The study investigated adolescents raised in orphanages. The study was conducted in two stages (description of mental states in the past, and then in the future). The article reveals the content of experience of mental states of joy and sadness, which includes the manifestations of the mental (expression, emotional processes, behavioral manifestations, value-semantic sphere), as well as external factors (events, situations, actions of significant adults). It is shown that the experience is characterized by poverty and a small coverage of used mental states characteristics and by the stinginess of the content.
