THE INTERACTION OF SOCIAL AND BIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS IN THE FORMATION OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR AMONG ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical analysis of the interaction between social and biological determinants in the formation of deviant behavior among adolescents. Drawing upon classical thinkers such as al-Farabi, al-Biruni, Durkheim, and Merton, as well as modern Uzbek psychologists including Abdumajidova, and Bafayev, the paper explores the biopsychosocial nature of deviant conduct. The article argues that adolescent deviant behavior emerges through the dynamic interplay of internal biological predispositions and external social influences. It also emphasizes the importance of theoretical integration between psychological, sociological, and pedagogical frameworks to explain and prevent deviant tendencies.
