Abstract
The article presents the results of analysis of younger adolescents’ psychological characteristics and provides a description of a comprehensive program created in order to ensure effective personal development of children in this age group in the process of carrying out leisure activities. To test the program, a sample was formed consisting of 60 adolescents studying at Municipal Budgetary General Education Institution “School No. 134” in Nizhny Novgorod. The results of the study indicate significant changes among all criteria analyzed for the experimental and the control groups. The scientific significance of the data obtained lies in the expansion of the idea of younger adolescents’ personal qualities’ multidimensionality and the opportunity provided to study the phenomenon in more detail. Indicators obtained during the course of the study can be used to organise extracurricular activities for adolescents, hold seminars and personal development trainings as well as develop methodological manuals on personality psychology.
