Ghazaryan, Sedrak Sedrakyan, "Urartu"University of Applied Psychology and Sociology
(UPSS), Armenia
Re-evaluation of socio-economic and cultural values in Armenian society brought to many
deviations in behavior of juveniles. Psychological regularities underlying the core of moral
abnormalities are not investigated and activities undertaken with juveniles inside and outside of
school are not sufficient. We distinguish 2 blocks of reasons for juveniles' asocial behavior:
1.External factors, 2.Internal problems of a person. The reason of asocial behavior is the

find ways to resolve these problems and to determine psychological procedures of working with
such children.

for the event was examined by measuring yes/no recognition and remember/know judgments both
