PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF MOTIVATION FOR EMOTIONAL SELF-REGULATION OF ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

Annotation. The article considers the motivation for emotional self-regulation and describes the importance of the motivational component in the structure of emotional self-regulation of adolescents. It includes the analysis of external and internal motives that motivate young people to improve their emotional self-regulation skills. The author’s program of formation of motivation for emotional self-regulation of adolescents bases on key age features (new formation, social situation of development, values, and needs). Emphasis is placed on the importance of self-development in the structure of young people’s personalities. It is argued that motivation for emotional self-regulation is the driving force of self-development, particularly in the formation of such personality traits as emotional self-awareness, emotional competence, and emotional maturity. The study of internal personal determinants of emotional self-regulation in adolescence should be considered a prospect for further research.
