Self-trust is expressed less in problematic areas: educational and relations with the opposite sex. Self-trust in the areas of relationships with peers and a family is expressed at the highest level. Social situation of development influences on self-trust: adolescents from full families, all indicators of self-trust are higher. The focus of empathy also varies among adolescents from full families and those who have experienced trauma of parting with parents.
