REFERENCE POINTS OF THE PATHOGENESIS OF THE PHENOMENON OF MODEL FORMATION RISKY REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR TEENAGE GIRLS by Ирина Вячеславовна Бабенко-Сорокопуд

“…A number of significant reference points - links of the phenomenon of formation of a model of risky reproductive behavior of teenage girls with menstrual disorders have been identified: upbringing in a destructive family environment with the formation of individual characterological features against the background of unformed self-regulation skills and a motivational value base, psychologically experiencing a feeling of loneliness as a problem, from a lowered mood to an expressed readiness for parasuicidal actions, demonstrating risky activity in hetero and non-heterosexual relationships with statistically significant higher in number of sexual partners with whom there were unprotected contacts in the last 6 months. …”
