The article deals with the problem of resocialization of juvenile convicts through the development of their assertive behaviour. The connection between the assertiveness and a certain correlation of the adolescent's reaction to the frustrating situation is proved. The method of detecting the reaction to frustration in adolescents based on the modification of the frustration test by S. Rosenzweig has been developed. The types of behaviour strategies are determined in accordance with the parameters of assertiveness: assertive, non-assertive, aggressive, contradictory, unformed. The results show that the juvenile convicts detect considerably less strategies for assertive behaviour in comparison with the children of school age. The schoolchildren behave aggressively more often than the juvenile convicts do. At the same time, the level of non-assertive behaviour among the schoolchildren is more than three times lower.
