Title Podložnost adolescenata vršnjačkom pritisku Title (english) Susceptibility of Adolescents to Peer Pressure Author Sanja Škundrić Mentor Jasminka Zloković (mentor)Granter University of Rijeka Defense date and country 2015-08-17, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Adolescencija je doba obilježeno izrazitom potrebom za identifikacijom, tj. traganjem za ljudima koji mogu poslužiti kao uzor. Osobito je izražena želja adolescenata da se osjete prihvaćenima od strane nekog društva te njihova podložnost utjecaju od strane svojih vršnjaka. Brojni autori navode da se radi o vršnjačkom pritisku, tj. očekivanjima vršnjaka da se pojedinac ponaša na određeni način bez obzira je li to ponašanje u skladu s njegovim osobnim stavovima i željama jer ako se adolescent
... More konformira očekivanjima vršnjaka, oni ga prihvaćaju, a ako do konformiranja ne dođe, slijede sankcije poput odbacivanja, ogovaranja, izbjegavanja. Nažalost, određeni broj adolescenata, kako ne bi bio izopćen iz društva nekritično se stapa s grupom, čak i ako se s njihovim normama i stilovima ponašanja osobno ne slaže. U pozadini takvog ponašanja adolescenata obično se krije nedostatak samopouzdanja i osjećaj manje vrijednosti. Tako prema Đuranović (2014) nesigurne i povodljive adolescente vršnjaci lako navode na različite oblike rizičnog i neprimjerenog socijalnog ponašanja poput bježanja s nastave, uništavanja tuđe imovine, krađe, konzumiranja alkohola, duhana i droge stoga su obrađeni pojmovi adolescencija i vršnjačka grupa te vršnjački pritisak i područja vršnjačkog utjecaja na ponašanje adolescenata. Pokazalo se da je varanje na ispitu najučestaliji oblik rizičnog socijalnog ponašanja koje adolescenti manifestiraju u kontekstu vršnjaka te rizična ponašanja na internetu (uključujući i kockanje) i fizička agresivnost. Iz prikaza provedenih istraživanja zaključuje se da područja na kojima ispitanici pokazuju najveću podložnost vršnjačkom pritisku odnose na formiranje slike o sebi. Najmanji doživljaj pritiska vršnjaka bilježi se kod manifestnih rizičnih ponašanja, a posebice se to odnosi na seksualno ponašanje. S obzirom na spol, rezultati pokazuju značajniji doživljaj vršnjačkog pritiska kod ispitanika muškog spola u području manifestiranja rizičnih ponašanja. Uspoređujući rezultate srednjoškolaca i studenata pokazalo se kako je doživljaj podložnosti vršnjačkom pritisku izraženiji u uzorku srednjoškolaca jer je njima važnije što drugi misle o njima te im je potrebna afirmacija njihovog društva kako bi se dobro osjećali. Istraživanja ukazuju i na brojne individualne razlike koje su povezane s podložnosti vršnjačkom pritisku poput traženja uzbuđenja, usvojenosti socijalnih normi, percepcije štetnosti sredstava ovisnosti i samopoštovanja, doživljaja pritiska i spola ispitanika te anksiozne privrženosti vršnjacima, nižeg doživljaja vlastite vrijednosti i depresivnosti. Less Abstract (english) Adolescence is a period marked by a distinct need for identification, i.e. search for people who can serve as role models. It is especially expressed their desire to feel accepted by the society and their susceptibility to peer pressure. Many authors point out that it is peer pressure, i.e. expectations of peers that an individual acts in a certain way regardless of whether that behavior is compatible with his personal opinions and desires, because if an adolescent conforms with the
... More expectations of his peers, they accept him, and if he doesn't, he is avoided and rejected. Unfortunately, a certain number of adolescents merge with the group without hesitation to avoid being rejected by the society, even if they personally don't agree with their norms and behavior. The lack of self-confidence and a sence of inferiority are usually hidden in the background of this adolescent behavior. So, according to Đuranović (2014), insecure and impressionable adolescents peers easily induce to various forms of risky and inappropriate social behaviors such as running away from school, destroying other people's property, theft, consumption of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Therefore terms adolescence, peer group, peer pressure and areas of peer influence on the behavior of adolescents have been processed. It has been determined that the most common form of risky social behavior that adolescents manifest in the context of peers, was cheating on exams, followed by risky behavior on the Internet (including gambling) and physical aggression. It has been concluded that the areas in which adolescents show the greatest susceptibility to peer pressure were those connected to formation of self-image. Minimum experience of peer pressure was recorded with the manifestation of risky behavior, especially sexual behavior. The studies show a significant experience of peer pressure in male subjects in the area of manifestation of risky behaviors. Comparing high school and college students, studies have shown that adolescencents show bigger susceptibility to peer pressure because to them it's more important what others think about them and they need recognition of their society in order to feel good about themselves. Studies also point out many individual characteristics that are associated with susceptibility to peer pressure, such as search for excitement, acquired social norms and perception of the harmfulness of addictive substances, perception of peer pressure, gender, anxious attachament to peers, lower self-esteem and depression.
