Abstract

The study reflects the specificity and mechanisms of violence in social interaction situations in war conditions. Analyzed are the structure and mechanisms of social interaction in communication between parents and their children during the educational process conducted in war conditions. The specifics of manifestations of aggression and violence in the social interaction of adolescents are outlined. Social interaction has its own organizational logic, determined by the contexts of interaction and implemented through interaction rituals. Misaligned expectations of social interaction can lead to implementing alternative interaction strategies, which can vary from avoidance to aggression and violence. Social interaction in the conditions of war transforms. Manifestations of aggression and violence destroy the barrier of confrontational tension, changing the bilateral vector of social interaction. The aggressor does not show solidarity by showing violence. He seizes the initiative to set the emotional rhythm of social interaction and subordinates the needs and expectations of the victim to his needs for dominance. The aggressor may perceive the victim as a physical obstacle to achieving goals. The emotional dimension is essential for the analysis of violence and aggression. Teenagers may assume the victim role during a fight due to insufficient social subjective power. In situations of joint learning, the child’s needs and expectations are subordinated due to their physical weakness. The designated interaction situations, the elements of aggression and violence, are different in their structure and certain ritual acts. Both fights among teenagers and situations of joint learning with parents and children require compliance with the norms and rules of solidarity interaction. However, in both cases, aggression and violence are a consequence of the destruction of the expectations of the actors of the interaction and the capture of the partner’s emotions through dominance and rigid submission.
