Pregled definicija i trendova rizičnih ponašanja mladih

Abstract

U ovom tekstu smo se bavili analizom definicija i fenomenologijom rizičnih ponašanja mladih ljudi. Pokazalo se tako da u rizična ponašanja spada širok dijapazon pojava, čiji se obim stalno povećava. Van polja rizičnog ostaje ono što je društveno poželjno. Stoga je donekle i razumljivo zašto društveno-kritički manir u izučavanju ovog vida ponašanja uglavnom izostaje. Naime, istraživanja i teorijska promišljanja polaze od objektivističkog, a tek izuzetno od konstruktivističkog pristupa. Ukazivanjem na promjene u obrascima kretanja rizičnog ponašanja, imali smo namjeru da problematizujemo ovakve naučne preferencije, te da pokušamo odgovoriti na pitanje da li je adekvatnije govoriti o društvu (ekosistemu) rizičnom po mlade, ili pak o mladima u riziku?.

This text presents an analysis of the definitions and the phenomenology of youth risk behaviors. The analysis showed that risk behaviors include a wide array of issues, growing ever broader in scope. Furthermore, what remains out of the scope of risk behaviors is what is socially desirable. It is, therefore, understandable why research in this area lacks a social-critical approach. Namely, research and theoretical discussions are based on the objectivistic approach, and only rarely on the constructivistic approach. By pointing out the changes in the patterns of risk behaviors, we intended to raise the issue of the scientific approach, as well as to try to answer the question of whether it is more appropriate to talk about the society (ecosystem) that places young people at risk, or about young people at risk.
