Abstract
The lack of research on the quadrobics subculture creates uncertainty regarding its impact on the socialization of young people. The purpose of this empirical study is to examine the polymotivational tendencies within the self-concept of adolescents involved in the quadrobics subculture. The participants were teenagers aged 10 to 15 years (average age 12.8 years). The study was conducted using the methods of questionnaires, psychodiagnostic testing, mathematical and statistical data processing, and qualitative analysis. Significant differences have been revealed in indicators of cognitive, labor, normative, moral, hubristic, and reckless motivation, as well as motivation for a positive attitude towards people and avoidance. This suggests a specific nature of polymotivational tendencies in the self-concept of the personality of adolescents involved in quadrobics. It has been established that these adolescents are characterized by a lower orientation towards cognitive, labor, normative, and moral motives, as well as motives for self-improvement and positive attitude towards people and avoidance of trouble. At the same time, their greater focus on contrary motives, such as achieving superiority and risky behavior, has been revealed. The results allow us to outline effective directions for psychological and pedagogical work.
