THE PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVE OF CONTEMPORARY ADOLESCENT RISK BEHAVIOURS
Abstract
This paper explicates results of a cross-sectional study on internalized and externalized disorders conducted in 2014 with 314 adolescents from Croatia. The results show multiple significant differences with boys reporting more physical (p\textless,001) and verbal aggression (p\textless,01), delinquent (p\textless,001) and drug abusive behavior (p\textless,01), while girls report higher depression levels (p\textless,05). Older adolescents reported significantly higher physical aggression (p\textless,01) and delinquency (p\textless,05). For academic success, lower achieving participants reported higher rates of physical (p\textless,001) and verbal aggression (p\textless,001), delinquency (p\textless,001) and drug abuse (p\textless,05). There were significant differences in physical aggression between participants from comprehensive and vocational schools (p=,000), and between comprehensive and secondary commerce schools (p=,017). Students from comprehensive and vocational schools differed in delinquency (p=,000). Students with admonitions or disciplinary warnings reported higher aggression, delinquency and drug abuse (p\textless,001), emphasizing school commitment and academic success as important protective factors. Results show a high positive correlation between verbal and physical aggression, delinquent behavior and drug abuse (p\textless,001), with a positive correlation between reticent and depressive behavior (p\textless,001). There was a negative correlation between the quality of peer relations with both depression and reticent behavior (p\textless,01).
