Abstract
Introduction. Addictive behaviour among juveniles is a serious problem of the modern society. The increased crimes committed by juveniles under the influence of alcohol or drugs, aggressive and asocial acts committed by them due to the computer addiction, their self-destructive behaviour in the form of food addiction require more effective and multifaceted studies in this field. Materials and methods. Under study are 280 school students from Moscow and Moscow region, aged 13-15. Lozova G.V. method was employed to reveal the juveniles’ inclination to addictive behaviour. Juveniles were divided into three groups of 30 people who showed rather high level of inclination to addiction to: 1 — drugs (on average – 22,3), 2 — Internet and computer (on average – 24,0), 3 — food (on average – 22,5). Value attitudes were examined via Rokich M. method. Results and Discussion. In the group of juveniles prone to computer, food and drug addiction value attitudes have similar features. Juveniles prone to the mentioned addictions have a low responsibility and self-control, underestimate their abilities, are unable to build plans for the future, failed to form such value attitude as a family. The juveniles of the groups under study possess some selfish features not caring about others’ concerns and values, they are indifferent towards the people around, all this is combined with their expectation to be unconditionally accepted by the society, gain social approval and acceptance. The research also reveals a number of specific distortions in the sphere of value attitudes typical for a certain type of addictive behaviour. Conclusions. The outcomes obtained during the research can be employed in developing general and special prophylaxis programmes for juveniles of risk groups according to addictive behaviour.

Main Provisions
- The system of value attitudes is a core of the developing juvenile personality and determines his behaviour, self-attitude, attitude to other people, moral and ethical norms. Specific deformation of value attitudes causes the juvenile proneness to addictive behaviour.
- Comparative analysis of value attitudes among juveniles with different types of addiction enables the authors to reveal some common features of their negative character and a range of measures to prevent additive behaviour in general. Meanwhile, the distinguishing features in the system of value attitudes among juveniles with different types of addictive behaviour can be the grounds for developing special prevention programmes.
