Summary/Abstract: Teenagers at risk are often characterized by aggressive, withdrawal and dogmatic integration of attitudes. The educator's tasks will therefore concern the modification of concepts and beliefs, emotional attitudes and the domination of attitudes. If positive attitudes are dominant in the system of attitudes, they will correct the other attitudes, including the negative ones. In resocialization, we should strive to shape positive attitudes, that is, to change prejudices, stereotypes and attitudes into full attitudes. The elimination of the causes of social derailment and the removal of the effects of these causes is an essential element of re-socializing education, which is also a modification of attitudes. This article presents different definitions of posture and its following features: intensity, direction, complexity, compactness, range, durability. There is always an object of attitude and it is always someone's. Three elements are distinguished in the structure of the attitude: cognitive, emotional-evaluating, and acting.
