Abstract

Abstract. The article presents data on factors that contribute to repeated injuries in children aged 5–10 years. Family factors as well as the necessity to distinguish between true and false hyperactivity in children were revealed. Aim. The article aims to identify microsocial factors of risky behavior in children. Materials and methods. A total of 450 patients (225 children and 225 family members) were observed. Research tools: standard neuropsychological tests, Alvord and Baker hyperactivity test, psychoneurological examination, a psychological portrait of a parent/teacher by G.V. Rezapkina and the author’s techniques (“How do I see my child”, “Subjective evaluation of parents and their education style”). Results: True hyperactivity disorders were revealed in no more than 12% of children. Thus, the majority of children are characterized by pseudo-hyperactivity. To reduce the risk of injury, it is necessary to differentiate between two types of pathogenic factors: minimal brain dysfunction (biological) and parental behavior (social). Conclusion. In our research risky behavior is considered to be a child’s behavior in a situation that increases the risk of a child to be injured. The outcome of such a traumatic situation is the result of both children and parents’ activity. A child tries to cope with both biological (less often) and social (mainly) factors by means of hyperactivity.
