Introduction. The proposed article presents the results of the study of the settings of intra-group interaction in individuals with deviant behavior (delinquent and addictive). At the first stage, the assessment of intergroup interaction in real social groups was carried out. At the second stage, the analysis of styles of interpersonal interaction in normative and deviant behavior was carried out.

Materials and methods. The solution of research problems was carried out with the help of the method of express settings of intra-group interaction [3, 7]. Statistical processing of empirical results was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics.

Results. As a result of the study of the intra-group interaction settings at different age stages, it was established that the prevalence of demonstrative and leadership attitudes in adolescence and adulthood during adolescence is decreasing, while the interrelationships are becoming more constructive, and interaction-oriented to achieve the overall group goal.

As a result of the study of individual intergroup interaction settings, with addictive behavior in both alcoholic and drug dependence, the prevalence of demonstration facilities and distancing facilities was revealed. As a result of the research of the individual settings of intra-group interaction with delinquent behavior, convicts who committed unlawful acts of a violent nature revealed a significant predominance of demonstrative attitudes of intra-group interaction focused on distancing; the convicts who committed unlawful acts of mercenary-violent nature, revealed the predominance of constructive and leadership settings.

Practical significance. The data obtained during the research will help to formulate diagnostic hypotheses for a systematic survey of the group in order to identify the predisposition to the realization of potentially possible destructive trends in behavior at the stage of resocialization.

Conclusion. The system of prognostic regulation of socio-psychological adaptation in both normative and deviant behavior is realized in the space-time continuum and manifests itself through attitudes and strategies of interpersonal interaction. The identification of the orientation of the intra-group interaction settings makes it possible to determine the styles and strategies of interpersonal interaction of subjects in the context of social interaction.
