The article presents a theoretical analysis of modern foreign ideas about socio-psychological phenomena and factors associated with tattooing and abandonment among adolescents and young people, as well as the role of body modifications in the development of personality. Based on the analysis done, body modifications are interpreted as symptoms of deformations of the formation of adolescent identity, distorted ideas about spirituality and self-expression. The article discusses the role of such socio-psychological phenomena in the lives of people with tattoos as social identity, social adaptation, discrimination, social biases, temporary perspective, alienation and stigmatization. It also shows the specific interplay between tattooing and socio-psychological factors: inclusion in certain social groups, and their reference, the importance of the quality of contacts and close relationships in which young people enter, significant family influence, significant others, culture and religion.

The review presents foreign works aimed at studying the effects of parental and societal behavior on eating behavior and attitudes towards their bodies in children and adolescents. The reviewed articles analyze attitudes towards the bodies and internalized appearance patterns in children and adolescents, formation of their patterns of healthy eating and healthy eating behavior, and do not focus on eating disorders only. It must be noted that in Russia the issue of healthy eating behavior is touched upon mainly in publications concerning the medical aspect of this problem, while in foreign psychological studies it is becoming increasingly popular. The analysis of the publications also shows that the problem of eating behavior and attitude to the body, traditionally related to adolescence, is clearly “rejuvenated”. Children aged 6—7 are gradually becoming the target group of researchers, so the problem deserves serious attention.

The article analyzes foreign data on the characteristics of the psychological profile of the digital generation and counter-actions of employers, as representatives of previous generations, in order to understand and develop a common language in contacts. The authors consider this multi-level interconnectedness in a space-time structure that combines the educational system and the labour market. For the first time, it is proposed to apply the term of the forward request to the interpretation of the work of this design on the principle of feedback. The material proposed for discussion is differentiated into blocks: a general idea of the psychological portrait of teenagers and youth of the generation; forwarding requests to the educational system from employers and professionals (in the sought-after areas of professional sports, business, tourism, medical and social services); resources to shape the competencies of generation Z; certain aspects of the topic. The article reveals a number of topical points (assistant ego, prenosological diagnostics, status assessment tools). In conclusion, it is intended to recognize the need to “refine” personal socio-psychological deficits in order to alleviate the difficulties of integrating young people into the workforce.

The article focuses on the current problem of school engagement as a predictor of high academic performance. It is based on the data of international studies, which underlie the presented analysis of the factors that support and weaken this engagement. The special thing about the study is the analysis of the age specificity of engagement, which is still in the process of its engagement, and also attention to the difficulties of Generation Z adolescents, who are especially vulnerable in the situation of the coronavirus epidemic due to high personal anxiety. Two leading approaches to school engagement are reviewed: The North American model by Fredricks et al. (2004) and the European Approach by Schaufeli et al. (2002). Insufficient knowledge of the cognitive aspect of engagement was revealed in terms of the development of conscious self-regulation and resilience, which are resources for overcoming difficulties in learning and overcoming stressful situations. A theoretical model is proposed concerning the relationship between school engagement and academic performance with factors that support and hinder engagement. The model will allow us to study the specifics of the causal relationships between the constructs under study, analyze the age aspect of the formation of engagement, and offer predictive models of the efficiency of school engagement in predicting academic achievement.
