Sexual identity of socially maladjusted youth staying in rehabilitation facilities

Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the sexual identity of socially maladjusted youth staying in youth educational centers (the main group) and in youth sociotherapy centers (the control group). Declarative research was conducted using a research tool of our own design. In our own research, a group of people declaring themselves heterosexual with bisexual tendencies was identified. These people did not identify themselves as bisexual or homosexual. This may constitute a breakthrough in conducting research on the sexual identity of young people, not only socially maladjusted and living in total institutions, but also on a group of adolescents living in non-institutional environments.
