Fathers’ hostility is most important for the proposed model, but asthenia has a lesser prediction power.</p><p>According to the continuum model, the most significant factor of adolescents’ SPA-D for adrenaline-addict adolescents is the tendency to aggression and violence, while the fathers’ inconsistency has a less significant effect.</p><p>According to the continuum model, the most significant factor of adolescents’ SPA-D for the adolescents from the comparison group is their propensity for self-destructive behavior, while positive interest of their mothers is less significant.</p><p>According to the continuum model of adolescents’ SPA-D, the dominance indicator plays the most important role for adolescents from the main group of adapted gamers, while acceptance by their parent of small account.</p><p>According to the continuum model of adolescents’ SPA-D, self-perception is of the greatest importance for the comparison group of adapted gamers, their fathers’ hostility is the least important.</p><p>According to the continuum model of adolescents’ SPA-D for the all sample, asthenia is the most significant, while willed control over emotional reactions is the least important.</p><p>The obtained results can help determine the targets for psychologists’ psychological corrective work aimed at optimization of adolescents’ socio-psychological maladjustment and their sub-cultural socialization.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
