SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF AGGRESSIVE ADOLESCENTS: A SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

 This study examines the social adaptation of aggressive adolescents in the context of globalization, focusing on socio-psychological determinants that influence their behavior. Globalization has transformed social, cultural, and digital environments, creating both challenges and opportunities for adolescents. Aggressive behaviors, including verbal, physical, relational, and cyber aggression, negatively impact social adaptation, academic performance, and peer relationships. Key factors affecting adaptation include family dynamics, peer influence, school environment, community support, and psychological traits such as emotion regulation and cognitive biases. Effective interventions involve integrated strategies combining family support, peer-led programs, school-based social-emotional learning, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and culturally sensitive approaches. Understanding these determinants is crucial for promoting adaptive behavior, reducing aggression, and fostering constructive participation in both local and global communities.
