THEORETICAL MODELS INFLUENCING THE FORMATION OF BEHAVIOR AMONG CHILDREN RAISED IN RISK GROUPS
Abstract
This article explores the theoretical models that influence the formation of behavior among children raised in risk groups in the context of Uzbekistan. The study examines psychological, pedagogical, and socio-cultural factors affecting children who grow up in vulnerable families, low-income communities, or socially unstable environments. Special attention is given to the application of attachment theory, social learning theory, and ecological systems theory in understanding children’s behavioral development within Uzbek society. The article also analyzes the role of family values, махalla community support, educational institutions, and national child protection policies in shaping positive social behavior. The findings emphasize the importance of culturally sensitive and integrated intervention strategies aimed at preventing deviant behavior and promoting healthy social adaptation among at-risk children in Uzbekistan.
