Aim – to conduct a systematic analysis of scientific sources that study and analyze the features of the development of the motivational sphere of adolescents aged 15-16 years in conditions of martial law.
The motivational sphere of adolescents aged 15-16 years is currently being formed, transformed and functioning in conditions of martial law. The structure of adolescents' motives changes under the influence of military events. The motivational sphere requires determining the role of the family, educational and social environment in order to clarify the psychological conditions that contribute to the preservation of the internal activity of an adolescent child. The features of the development of the motivational sphere of adolescents aged 15-16 years in conditions of martial law depend on the modern socio-psychological environment. Factors influencing motivational processes and the transformation of the system of motives are feelings of anxiety, uncertainty of the future, disruption of social ties, loss of a sense of security. In conditions of stress and instability during military events, there is a decrease in the educational motivation of adolescents. Socially significant motives are strengthened: the desire to help, show responsibility, support others. The motivational sphere of adolescents is a holistic system of internal motivations that ensure activity and stability of behavior. Adolescence is a sensitive period for the formation of personal values and self-awareness. In conditions of martial law, it is necessary to create conditions for the development of positive internal motivation, support of the emotional balance of an adolescent child. The development of the motivational sphere of adolescents 15-16 years old in conditions of martial law is complex. Internal resources (cognitive interest, self-esteem, need for recognition) are combined with the support of the social environment (family, school, peers). This is a decisive factor in maintaining and strengthening motivation for learning, self-development and life activity. Effective psychological and pedagogical support for adolescents 15-16 years old should be based on the principles of humanism, partnership and trust. The development of the motivational sphere of adolescents 15-16 years old in conditions of martial law is a psychological and socially significant direction.
The authors declare the absence of a conflict of interest.
