SUMMARY:
The article is devoted to the study of the features of the relationship between self-esteem and deception in adolescents with different mechanisms of psychological defense. The work considers the concepts of self-esteem and deception, analyzes their manifestations in adolescence. The study was conducted using a complex of theoretical and empirical methods, including multidimensional functional diagnostics of deception, diagnostics of self-esteem motivation of approval, research of self-esteem of personality and lifestyle index. It was found that adolescents with an average level of self-esteem often seek approval from others, which can lead to the use of deception as a means of achieving this goal. For adolescents with an average level of self-esteem, a connection between the motivation for approval and the tendency to deceive, the effect of regression, denial, suppression, substitution, intellectualization was found. Adolescents with a high level of self-esteem also strive for approval, but their self-esteem may be more stable. A mutual relationship was found between the motivation for approval, self-esteem and suppression; the tendency to deceive with manifestations of compensation, projection, suppression and reactive formations. It is shown that the motivation for approval and protective mechanisms play an important role in the formation of self-esteem and the tendency to deceive in adolescents.
