Abstract

This article discusses the perception of the effectiveness of school mediation services by adolescents with deviant behaviour. The research was based on Russian speaking adolescents aged 13-17 years (128 interviewees, including 78 girls and 50 boys). The questionnaire was developed in compliance with similar researches using expert evaluation. The results of the research are analyzed as per the Pearson correlation coefficient. The analysis of the difference in the perception of the effectiveness of mediation practices by a group directly involved in the implementation of mediation practices (group 2 of 40 persons) and a group with no direct experience of mediation (group 1 of 88 persons) resulted in some conclusions. The participants of group 2 consider the mediation method an effective means of resolving conflicts, increasing interpersonal skills, and respect for the interlocutor. Mediation is also an effective means of self-development and self-understanding for group 2. Group 1 displays infantile expectations of mediation effects and high sensitivity to fairness
