摘要：The paper presents a study of personality variables in orphanage adolescents with normal and challenged development (two different forms of dysontogenesis: mental retardation and mental deficiency). Compared to adolescents growing in families, differences in the development of motivation, values, time perception, and aggressiveness are found in orphans. It is shown that in adolescents growing in a closed institution setting, regardless of their normal or challenged development, there is increased hedonistic motivation dominated by pleasure principle, increased aggressive responses to frustration, and the subjective speed of perceived time is diminished. Personality development of mentally retarded adolescents exhibiting higher conformity in absence of external asocial influences is closer to normal. A hypothesis is proposed that educational effect in correc-tional institutions of type 8 is situationally specific. The issues of the role of educational setting and disonto¬genesis in personality development are discussed.
