THE ROLE OF SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IN ADOLESCENT PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
This article presents a theoretical analysis of the multifaceted influence of the social environment on adolescent personality
development. The study aims to identify the mechanisms through which family, peer groups, school, broader society, and digital
environments shape the adolescent personality, and to examine them as an integrated system. In the Uzbek context, the mahalla
institution and national values emerge as significant factors in adolescent socialization. The article is of practical relevance to
psychologists, educators, and parents.
