Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a time when physical, sexual, psychological, and social changes occur. Adolescence and adolescence are periods of life that range from 10 to 24 years and are risky periods for adolescents. These changes lead adolescents to engage in high-risk behaviors, such as initiation to sexual intercourse, which have important consequences on health. Adolescent girls are at risk of groping/stimulating sensitive body parts during courtship. It also encourages teenagers to engage in sex outside of marriage. The objective is to analyze the perception of dating style towards extramarital sex behavior in adolescents at University X in Surakarta City. This research method uses a qualitative approach, with a case study design. The research informants consisted of the main informants, namely adolescent girls who were students at University X in Surakarta City. The results showed that the majority of adolescent girls' dating style by meeting in person and communicating via WhatsApp. Informants feel sexual attraction or urges when dating. The perception of adolescent vulnerability is high and the perception of seriousness is high to the dangers and impacts of extramarital sex. Adolescents who have a perception of benefits and perceptions of obstacles in dating behavior and sex outside marriage are beneficial, tend to have more encouragement in engaging in extramarital sex acts. Adolescents have confidence and cues to behave in dating and extramarital sex, so they are encouraged to consistently engage in these behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Previous studies support the relevance of students' perception of positive and negative school climate to learning processes and adolescents' adjustment. School climate is affected by both the interactions that are established within the classroom, and by the teachers' behaviors. This study has the overall objective of investigating the relationship between the perception of positive and negative school climate and students' (mal)adjustment during adolescence. Participants were 105 Italian adolescents (52.5% boys, mean age = 15.56,SD = .77) who responded for 15 consecutive days (ecological momentary assessment) to questions related to their perception of positive and negative school climate (Time 1). After one year (Time 2), students' academic performance reported by mothers and fathers and adolescents' self-reported propensity to engage in risk behaviors were examined. Four hierarchical regression models were implemented considering the mean and the instability levels (RMSSD) of the perception of positive and negative school climate as independent variables and, respectively, academic performance and risk behaviors as dependent variables. Results suggest that a higher perception of positive school climate and its instability predict higher academic performance one year later, while a higher perception of negative school climate and its instability predict higher risk behaviors. This study provides an innovative perspective to reflect on the relationship between students' perceptions of school climate and adolescents' (mal)adjustment.

This study was undertaken to examine the stability of adolescents’ physical self-perceptions across short (4 days) and longer (6 and 12 months) periods of time. Boys and girls (n = 195) from 12 to 13 years of age completed the Children’s Physical Self-Perception Profile for 4 consecutive days; follow-up measurements were performed 6 and 12 months later. Results for the short term revealed relatively high stability of physical self-perceptions for the group, although most individuals showed fluctuations in self-perceptions over the 4 days. As expected, adolescents’ self-perceptions were less stable when follow-up measurements were administered.

INTRODUCTION: Children and adolescents use different markers to elaborate the concept of time, and such markers change along their development. The objective of the present article was to analyze changes in time concepts in different age groups. METHODS: The study included 81 children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years, attending elementary or high school at a public school in southern Brazil. Participants were asked to provide their definition of time, either orally (children) or in writing (older children and adolescents). RESULTS: Twenty-one words were identified as related with the definition of time. The term "hours" was the most frequently cited (24.7%), followed by "clock" and "family" (11.1% each). Among children aged 6 to 8 years, "family" was the term most frequently mentioned to refer to time. Between 9 to 11 years of age, the notion of time was essentially related to the use of a clock, and in the 12-17-year age group, time was mostly associated with the word "days." The word "family" appears to be a frequent temporal marker in childhood, but loses this function during adolescence, as new social relationships are established. CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that the concept of time varies according to age. Chronobiological studies should therefore take into consideration the temporal perception peculiar to each age group.

Full textAbstract:
Research into family context as a socializing agent points to the need to take parental beliefs into account due to the role they play in both parenting strategies and, ultimately, in the psychosocial adjustment of children and adolescents. The present study aims to explore possible relationships between parental beliefs about childhood and adolescence from a longitudinal and qualitative perspective. The beliefs held by parents of teenagers about adolescence are compared with those they hold about childhood at that same moment, and the evolution of these ideas is charted over the course of 16 years as their children grow. A total of 102 parents participated in the longitudinal study. They completed two types of semi-structured interviews: one of them throughout the entire study period and the other once their children became teenagers. The results reveal an association between the type of beliefs parents hold about childhood and their perception of adolescence, and they indicate that these ideas change over time as more adjusted and modern beliefs about child development correlate with a more positive perception of adolescence. These results are interpreted from the perspective of their influence on beliefs about parenting styles, reflecting what is reported in the recent literature regarding the most successful styles for fostering children’s and adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence, the time of life when people are changing and maturing between childhood and maturity. Adolescents are defined by the World Health Organization as those between the ages of 10 and 19. However, adolescence is sometimes incorrectly and narrowly associated with puberty and the physical changes that lead to reproductive maturity in many civilizations. Adolescence is not only associated with physical changes but also with developmental shifts in the individual's mind, social life, and moral code in certain cultures. The term "adolescence" is essentially equal to "teens" in these cultures, referring to the time between the ages of 12 and 20. Anorexia nervosa is a psychological disorder characterized by self-starvation and medically low body weight. Research indicates that anorexia nervosa develops through complex interaction among social, psychological and biological risk factors. Anorexia nervosa is most common in adolescent girls and young women but affects other age groups and genders. Maximum girls fearing of gaining weight and distorted perception of weight.

One of the most common and incapacitating psychopathologies is depression. It has great influence and harm on people's life. During adolescence, which is a sensitive period for teenagers, the incidence of depression has brought a serious harm in the lives of teenagers. However, only few of those adolescents can receive treatments due to the high expense and the ignorance of parents. Therefore, the prevention for depression in adolescence is very important. The main purpose of this review paper is to discuss the different risk factors and protective factors for depression in adolescence, to make more people understand the occurrence of depression and to reduce the probability of depression in adolescents. From four levels, this paper discussed interpersonal risk, protective factors, intrinsic risk, and protective factors during adolescence. Interpersonal factors mainly come from parents and peers. Internal factors include self-perception, perfectionism, emotion regulation, and meaning in life. At last, an effective depression prevention measure was demonstrated. Previous studies mainly focused on the outcomes at a certain developmental stage. Future research should track the dynamic process over time. This review can provide some insights to the prevention research and practices for at-risk adolescents.

Full textAbstract:
Several established school smoking prevention initiatives involve restrictions on places to smoke. The focus on tobacco control in schools is due to the risk of smoking initiation during adolescence and the perception of this life stage as a period of time when health behavior is established. Hence, this period of time is considered to be ideal for health-promoting initiatives. This paper is part of an ethnographic study on adolescents’ perceptions of tobacco use. Focus groups and field observations were used to explore adolescents’ smoking-related practices related to smoking bans at schools. The findings show that smoking, as a place-based practice, is influenced by locally embedded rules and carries social implications resulting in a distinction between smokers and non-smokers. The distinction between smokers and non-smokers contributes to the retention of a stereotypical view of smokers and, moreover, stigmatizes smokers. According to this, restrictions on places to smoke within the school should be considered carefully in order to avoid stigma or ethical issues.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence reflects a particularly challenging time for many individuals and is often accompanied by a rise in psychological difficulties. Symptoms of depression represent a particularly common problem experienced by adolescents, with over 21% of the population experiencing such symptoms at some point in their lives. These statistics underline the critical importance of understanding the cognitive mechanisms underpinning the upsurge of depressive symptoms during adolescence. Previous literature has emphasised the importance of both perceived control and desire for control in the manifestation of depressive symptomology. Indeed, contemporary research indicates that both greater perceived control and elevated desire for control are associated with a reduced risk of depression. This paper extends contemporary theories of depression and outlines a novel model to account for the rise in psychological difficulties during adolescence. Re-examination of the literature indicates that the upsurge of psychological difficulties during adolescence stems from a discrepancy between one’s desire for control and one’s perception of control. More specifically, it is argued that elevated desire for control in the absence of correspondingly high perceived control, at least partially, contributes to poor psychological welfare in adolescence. The clinical implications are subsequently discussed, with reference to the importance of considering the extent to which adolescents desire control over their lives when undertaking therapeutic interventions.

PurposeAdolescence is a period in which autonomy grows and where children develop into independent and active consumers and a period in which their food choices are also becoming more autonomous. Snacking is known to increase during the period of adolescence and the snack choice of adolescents is often unhealthy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to know when adolescents perceive a snack as healthy. As healthiness perception could be linked to the perception of naturalness and sustainability of a snack, these are interesting product characteristics to study as well.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews with 20 adolescents were conducted to characterize their perception of healthiness, naturalness and sustainability. Chocolate snack bars were used as a stimulus product.FindingsAll participants mentioned consuming snacks because they like them. Healthiness was seen as important but was not always a priority in adolescents' snack choices. Naturalness and sustainability were concepts which the adolescents were not aware of or did not perceive as important during snack choice. The adolescents mentioned experiencing natural products to be healthier compared to not natural products. The consequences of the discerned dimensions time, impact and effect of choices were rather limited for this target group.Originality/valueUnderstanding the healthiness, naturalness and sustainability perception of chocolate snack bars by adolescents may help to better understand drivers for adolescents' snack choices.

Method: Participation of 13–18-year-old athlete adolescents in the adolescence period, which was chosen randomly, was provided on a voluntary basis. Participants in the survey in order to determine the future time perception scores Husman and Shell (1996) was developed by, Avcı and Erden (2009) adapted to Turkish, validity and reliability study were used to scale. In order to determine the distribution of socio-demographic information of the participants in the study; Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to determine descriptive statistics and significant differences since they did not show a normal distribution. “p < 0.05”. Results: In the study, it was determined that there was a significant difference only in the width sub-dimensions in the variables of gender, age and sport type. Conclusions: it was determined that there was a significant difference at the p<0.05 level between age, sport type and the width sub-dimension of the perception of future time, while there was no significant difference in the other sub-dimensions. Considering that insufficient studies have been conducted on the perception of future time of adolescent athletes, it is important that coaches do not focus only on the physical performance of athletes, but also do studies that will contribute to their development, taking into account their psychological needs.”

Full textAbstract:
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time. Dietary habits are healthy and balanced eating patterns that help control blood glucose and balance body weight. The cause of the increase in stunting rates is due to the lack of knowledge in adolescents who will become future mothers about good nutritional intake, due to a poor economy that makes it difficult for people to get nutritious food to fulfil children's nutrition during their growth and development. For this reason, stunting prevention can be done since adolescence. This study aims to determine the relationship between perceptions of stunting and dietary habits of adolescent girls at SMA Nurul Falah North Jakarta. This study used a quantitative research design with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were 76 female students. Samples were taken with simple random sampling technique. The instrument used was a stunting perception questionnaire and dietary habits and validity and reliability tests were carried out, obtained the results of the stunting perception questionnaire (0.847) and the dietary habits questionnaire (0.645). The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between perceptions of stunting and dietary habits of adolescent girls with a p-value of 0.001 and a value of r=0.376. There is a relationship between perceptions of stunting and dietary habits of adolescent girls at SMA Nurul Falah Jakarta. It is hoped that the school can provide education about stunting and prevention methods that adolescents can do to break the chain of stunting in the future and provide education on how to carry out a good and healthy dietary habits programme.

Abstract Background Digital technologies have significantly changed the way adolescents perceive the world around them. The perception of the social environment is crucial for their well-being and health. Objectives This paper aims to evaluate the relationship between the perceived life circumstances of adolescents, such as dietary habits, physical activity, obesity, subjective health, the use of digital technology devices, and the level of occupancy with school obligations. Methods/Approach The survey research was conducted on a sample of adolescents between the ages of 11 and 15. Data was analysed using regression analysis and association rules. Results The results present a moderate positive correlation between the level of school obligations and life satisfaction or subjective health, while for the independent variable, time spent in front of screens, the strength of the relationship is moderate and negative. Conclusions The model represents a useful starting point for the recommendations for creating patterns to influence life satisfaction and well-being in adolescence. It provides insight into the potential optimisation of school obligations of adolescents according to the level of life satisfaction, subjective perception of health, and time spent in front of the screen.

Full textAbstract:
Today, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is part of the daily lives of adolescents. However, its widespread use in all areas, the vulnerable condition of adolescents and the imminent consequences of problematic use are awakening a growing social and educational concern. With the purpose of looking into this problem, the following research aims are formulated: (1) Analyse the perception of adolescents about their academic performance and the interference of ICT in their development; (2) Describe the frequency of use of ICT and its influence on study time and grades; and (3) Analyse the relationship between family supervision of ICT and academic performance. The representative sample consisted of 1101 adolescents from 10 educational centers in the Southeast of Spain. Descriptive statistics, contingency tables, Chi Square, Cramer’s V and Linear Regression were calculated. The results show that more than 50% of the students believe that they would spend more time studying if they did not have continuous access to technologies. Likewise, 20% of the students identify ICT as responsible for the decline in their academic performance. Statistically significant relationships were found between time limitations for Internet access and academic performance. It is therefore concluded that the problematic use of ICT in adolescence is a phenomenon that demands intervention, and the training of parents and adolescents in the responsible use of ICT is urged.

Concerns about weight and body image are common among adolescents, as adolescence represents a time of intense and rapid change. This cross-sectional study assessed the difference in body image perception by sex, weight status and sports practice in a sample of Italians aged 13–18 years. For this purpose, we considered a sample of 140 adolescents subdivided into two groups: a group of sports-playing teenagers practicing volleyball (39 males and 26 females), and a group of teenagers not actively involved in sports (24 males and 51 females). Body mass index (BMI), body image variables, and sports practice were examined. Due to COVID-19 limitations, height and weight were self-reported and BMI was calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of height (in meters). Body image perception was assessed by the short version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-14) and by the Stunkard Body Silhouette Chart. Two-way ANCOVAs adjusted for age were performed to test the differences between sexes and sports groups. Adolescent volleyball players had a lower incidence of weight disorders. Weight status significantly differed between those who played sports and those who did not, but there was no significant difference in weight status between sexes. On the whole, sports players and males showed higher results than non-sports players and females. The highest level of body image dissatisfaction was found in non-sports-playing females, while sports-playing males showed the lowest. The present study confirms the positive link between sport and body image and can be of support to lead adolescents to adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle. Further research is needed to validate our findings through a longitudinal study during the entire period of adolescence. In addition, it would be interesting to validate the results on a larger sample, also taking into account socio-demographic variables and including athletes engaged in different types of sports.

Full textAbstract:
The article defines the connection between the individual peculiarities of time perception and the levels of personal life activity. The results of the empirical study suggest that the diversity of levels in the perception of time in the adolescent psyche depends on a number of factors, including innate biological cycles t, ending with a complex subjective sense of time (in the context of age-related changes). Accordingly, it eliminates the contradiction between the uncertainties of the opposing time of the subject. Theoretical analysis of the factors that determine the perception of a teenager's personality provides an opportunity to make a prediction in social and psychological development in the context of accelerated social life. From the considered theories of understanding of time, the most comprehensive concept in the context of adolescent life activity is the definition of time as a directed value (vector), the unambiguous definition of which implies not only a system of units of measure (second, minute, hour, day, month, year, century), but and the constant starting point from which the account is maintained. The article made a comparative analysis of hysterical traits of the subjects with middle and high activity level of life, as well as the analysis of memories of adolescents with medium and high level of life activity. On the basis of the empirical research the features of time orientation of adolescence personality are revealed and factors that influence the formation of time measurement accuracy. The domestic and foreign theoretical approaches, empirical researches of concepts of the time orientation of the personality and vital activity in particular are analyzed. On the basis of the empirical research, features of the age orientation of the adolescent age and factors influencing the formation of the accuracy of time measurement are revealed.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many young adults’ lives educationally, economically, and personally. This study investigated associations between COVID-19-related disruption and perception of increases in internalising symptoms among young adults and whether these associations were moderated by earlier measures of adolescent positivity and future orientation and parental psychological control. Participants included 1329 adolescents at Time 1, and 810 of those participants as young adults (M age = 20, 50.4% female) at Time 2 from 9 countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States). Drawing from a larger longitudinal study of adolescent risk taking and young adult competence, this study controlled for earlier levels of internalising symptoms during adolescence in examining these associations. Higher levels of adolescent positivity and future orientation as well as parent psychological control during late adolescence helped protect young adults from sharper perceived increases in anxiety and depression during the first nine months of widespread pandemic lockdowns in all nine countries. Findings are discussed in terms of how families in the 21st century can foster greater resilience during and after adolescence when faced with community-wide stressors, and the results provide new information about how psychological control may play a protective role during times of significant community-wide threats to personal health and welfare.

The results of the survey conducted on the sample of 530 adolescents are presented in this paper. The sample included two age groups (13 and 16 years). The research was realized in 11 town and 26 schools. The method of the retrospection of the conflict contents, with one week retrospection interval, was used to research the perception of the conflict characteristics. The distinctive characteristics and the effects of the peer conflicts in adolescence have been identified by comparing them to the conflicts with friends, romantic partners, siblings and teachers. According to the results peer conflicts have certain specificity. Although less frequent than conflicts with parents and siblings, the peer conflicts in adolescence are widen phenomenon - on average, the adolescents get in conflict with their peers more than 13 times in a week, almost twice in a day. The most frequent causes are teasing and inappropriate jokes, deliberate provoking, gossips, insults and not respecting the differences in opinion. Peers follow the teachers as the least important persons in the conflict. Compared to the conflicts in other types of the social relations, the conflicts with peers are the least uncomfortable. Yielding is the least, competition the most present resolution strategy in peer conflicts. As well as the most conflicts in this age conflicts with peers are short time episode.

Full textAbstract:
Investigations on the relationship between sweet taste perception and body mass index (BMI) have been inconclusive. Here, we report a longitudinal analysis using a genetically informative sample of 1,576 adolescent Australian twins to explore the relationship between BMI and sweet taste. First, we estimated the phenotypic correlations between perception scores for four different sweet compounds (glucose, fructose, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone (NHDC), and aspartame) and BMI. Then, we computed the association between adolescent taste perception and BMI in early adulthood (reported 9 years later). Finally, we used twin modeling and polygenic risk prediction analysis to investigate the genetic overlap between BMI and sweet taste perception. Our findings revealed that BMI in early adulthood was significantly associated with each of the sweet perception scores, with the strongest correlation observed in aspartame withr= 0.09 (p= .007). However, only limited evidence of association was observed between sweet taste perception and BMI that was measured at the same time (in adolescence), with the strongest evidence of association observed for glucose with a correlation coefficient ofr= 0.06 (p= .029) and for aspartame withr= 0.06 (p= .035). We found a significant (p< .05) genetic correlation between glucose and NHDC perception and BMI. Our analyses suggest that sweet taste perception in adolescence can be a potential indicator of BMI in early adulthood. This association is further supported by evidence of genetic overlap between the traits, suggesting that some BMI genes may be acting through biological pathways of taste perception.

This study assessed the characterization of parent-adolescents’ sexual communication of secondary school students in Abeokuta South Local Government of Ogun State, Nigeria. 411 adolescents were selected using multistage sampling techniques. Quantitative data was obtained with a semi-structured questionnaire. An in-depth interview was carried out to further explore parent-adolescent sexual communication as a representation of the qualitative data. Both quantitative and qualitative data collected were analysed using descriptive and thematic content analyses. Results revealed that most (64.5%) of the respondents had moderate perception of parent-adolescent communication. The findings of the qualitative analysis revealed themes of sexual communication including puberty, abstinence from sex, and HIV/AIDS. Parents’ awareness to sexual communication promoting was associated to physical changes during puberty and adolescents’ attitudes. Although, adolescents prefer to discuss sexual issues with their mothers, time factor for such discussion was a major constraint. In addition, adolescent perceived unwillingness on the part of parent to initiate or sustain sexual communication issues despite their knowledgeability. Adolescents perceived that their parents are knowledgeable about sexual communication but not willing to communicate sexual issues with them. The study concludes that parents’ unwillingness for sexual talk and time factors could pose threats to achieving effective parent-adolescent sexual communication. Hence, it is recommended that parents should engage in timely communication on sexual related issues often during early adolescence phase. It is imperative for fathers also, to create a conducive atmosphere for active sexual communication with their children especially male adolescents.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the connections between adolescents' perceptions of their relationships with parents and the concept of individuation are explored. Individuation is discussed with respect to its relevance for understanding the transformations that occur in parent-child relationships as the child moves through adolescence toward adulthood. It is proposed that individuation is a necessary process in the transition from childhood to adulthood since it allows the child to develop a self-identity that is separate from that of parents while at the same time to remain connected to parents as important sources of advice and psychological support. Some data are provided suggesting that the separation and connectedness that characterise the process of individuation are the product of a transformation in adolescents' perceptions of parents in which parents, who are seen in childhood as "allknowing" and "all powerful" beings are first de-idealised and then come to be appreciated as persons themselves. Finally, the value of the concept of individuation for understanding adolescence is proposed to lie in its focus on the child in the context of relationship with others rather than as a separate entity. This focus is seen as providing a basis for attending to the social context in the study of adolescence.

The article reveals the problem of the relationship between the individual psychological time and the adolescents’ personal identity structural organization. The relevance of personal identity study, its content and temporal aspect in adolescence is important today, especially in connection with time perspective and in war context. The results of an time perspective and personal identity empirical study are presented on the example of teenagers with post-traumatic growth and normative development aged 15-17 who were in the "Forest Outpost" camp, created for the psychological rehabilitation of children who suffered in military actions and armed conflicts. The next characteristics of time perspective in two groups, the post-traumatic growth group and the group with a normative course of development, were differentiated (Semantic Time Differential of Wasserman was used): 1) in the present – time activity, emotional coloring of time, time structure, time sensitivity (all indicators are higher in the group with post-traumatic growth); 2) in the past – sensitivity time and time structure; 3) in the future – time structure. Both groups have a negative perception of their past, due to the traumatic events experienced in it, but already have a more positive attitude towards the present and have significant hopes for an optimistic future. The generalized results of a comparative analysis of the identity status of representatives of isolated groups are presented, which differ in the dominance of the moratorium status in the group with post-traumatic growth and diffuse identity in the group with normal development. Therefore, differences in the perception of time perspective, namely, a higher orientation to the present, a more positive evaluation of it in the group with post-traumatic growth is associated with a higher degree of personal identity structure coherence, where the moratorium has an average level of coherence, and the diffuse identity has a low level of coherence. The applied aspect of the investigated problem may be implemented in the development of programs of psychosocial support of the individual in adolescence.

The subject of the study is the cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of the sexual identity of girls and boys of younger adolescence. The aim of the study was to study the content characteristics of the cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of the sexual identity of girls and boys of younger adolescence and to identify the relationship between these structural components. The author analyzes in detail the features of the sexual identity of girls and boys of younger adolescence. Sexual identity is a complex dynamic structure that begins its formation in early childhood, and by adolescence, due to the psychological characteristics of this period, reaches a new, significant level, which determines the need for its detailed study in this age period. Research methodology: L.S. Vygotsky's cultural and historical theory of human mental development, D.B. Elkonin's age periodization, conceptual positions and main provisions in the study of sexual problems of domestic and foreign psychologists V.E. Kagan, I.S. Kletsina, N.Y. Flotskaya, etc.The empirical base of the study is represented by 30 teenage girls and 30 boys from full families. The age of the participants was 12-13 years.For the first time, the existence of differences in qualitative and quantitative indicators determining the structure of the sexual identity of girls and boys of younger adolescence is theoretically substantiated and empirically proven. Adolescents of both sexes do not have difficulties with building a sex-and-age sequence and identifying their present sex-and-age status, adequately identify themselves according to gender and age. Teenage girls correspond to gender stereotypes to a greater extent than boys. Girls and boys are characterized by the perception of parental influence as inconsistent, unstable and generally incomprehensible to a teenager. The behavioral component of the sexual identity of younger adolescents of both sexes is characterized by uncertainty, undifferentiation, and a combination of both feminine and masculine qualities in behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes have been consistently documented in the health literature. Until recently, many studies have evidenced associations between prejudice and health behaviors using cross-sectional data. However, studies assessing the link between school prejudice and health behaviors from adolescence to adulthood are limited. Methods: To address this gap, we use data from Waves I, II, and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1994–2002) to examine how perceptions of school prejudice over time influence cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and marijuana use from adolescence to emerging adulthood. We also examine variation across race and ethnicity. Results: Results indicate that school prejudice in adolescence (Wave I) is associated with higher cigarette use, alcohol use, and marijuana use in later adolescence (Wave II). White and Asian adolescents who perceived school prejudice were more likely to use alcohol, while Hispanic adolescents were more likely to use marijuana. Conclusions: Efforts to reduce school prejudice among adolescents may have implications in reducing substance use.

Full textAbstract:
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease treated by maintaining and managing a lifelong restrictive gluten-free diet. The purpose of this study was to develop a mobile application, Plan My C-Day, to promote self-management skills among youth with CD during adolescence—a time when decreased adherence often occurs—and examine its usability among adolescents with CD. Plan My C-Day contains three simulations of activities involving eating out and actions to take when preparing for these events. It was developed and pilot tested by 13 adolescents with CD. Application use and user perception data were collected and analyzed. Participants chose 160 actions within the simulations. For over 75% of participants, the time to complete the simulation decreased from the first to the third (last) simulation by an average of 50%. The average reported usability perception was 3.71 on a scale of 1 to 5, with system ease of use and ease of learning obtaining the highest scores. This study demonstrated that the Plan My C-Day mobile application’s self-management content, features, and functions operated well and that the simulations were easy to understand and complete. Further development will include the option to add self-created activities and adaptation to different languages and cultures.

PURPOSE: The main objective was to study health risk behaviours, knowledge and perception amongst Malaysian adolescents aged between 13-17 years of age.
METHODS: Modified version of Youth Behaviour Risk Factor Surveillance System (YBRFSS) was used in this nationwide cross-sectional study involving 5,000 students enrolled from 50 selected schools, by adopting multi-stage sampling with randomization of schools and classes from all states in Malaysia. Descriptive data for behaviours, knowledge and perception were also compared between genders.
RESULTS: Overall, 72.6% and 21.1% adolescents were found to not perform adequate exercise or did not perform any exercise, respectively. Majority of them also (81.8%) spent time watching TV beyond one hour per day. Although overall compliance to meal timings showed better result for girls (89.2%) than boys (84.8%); non-compliance to breakfast timing was the most frequent (74.7%) compared to other meal timings. Signs of continuous sadness ranked highest (21.3%), followed by signs of depression (9.4%) and suicidal ideation (7.8%). Girls suffered worse than boys for signs of continuous sadness (25.4% vs. 16.2%) and suicidal ideation (10.4% vs. 4.5%). In terms of perception, only 50.1% responded favourably to managing their anger. Boys were more satisfied with their own body weight and body shapes compared with the girls (43.3% vs. 34.7%; 45.3% vs. 37.9%, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Although adolescents in Malaysia had good overall knowledge and perception on the healthy habits, they still practiced risky behaviours which may lead to early morbidity and mortality among adolescence.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Adolescence is considered a fundamental time to promote change. During this time, young people consolidate their social and individual identity. By influencing positive changes, chronic diseases can be avoided, delayed or modified in the future. The use of valid and reliable questionnaires is an optimal resource for gathering information and thus useful for this study. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to: (1). identify the questionnaires that assess self-esteem/self-concept, self-perception, physical exercise and lifestyle of adolescents; (2). analyse the psychometric measures of the questionnaires used to assess the self-esteem/self-concept, self-perception, physical exercise and lifestyle of adolescents; and (3). determine which questionnaires are the most reliable and valid for assessing the self-esteem/self-concept, self-perception, physical exercise and lifestyle of adolescents. Method: A bibliographic search was carried out in the following databases: Virtual Health Library, Cochrane, Medline, Cuiden, Scielo, Dialnet, PubMed and Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare following the PICO method. The recommendations of the PRISMA statement were followed. Results: A total of 71 scientific articles were collected. Within the self-perception/self-concept questionnaires, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale stands out for being an optimal and widely used resource in adolescents. Regarding the questionnaires that evaluate self-perception, the General Health Questionnaire is the most used; it is used in numerous national health surveys in different countries. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents ranks first with respect to the rest of the tools. It is a widely used resource internationally and provides enough information on the physical activity carried out by the subject in a given week. Although there are several questionnaires that measure lifestyle, the Health Behavior in School-aged Children instrument was selected. This instrument is at the European level and involves the collaboration of 48 countries and allows us to compare the lifestyle habits of adolescents from different countries. Discussion: The questionnaire that stands out in the assessment of self-esteem/self-concept is the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The General Health Questionnaire has been selected as the best tool for assessing self-perception. To measure physical exercise, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents is identified as the ideal instrument because it is widely used and can be completed quickly. Regarding lifestyle, the Health Behavior in School aged Children is shown to be an effective instrument in assessing lifestyle.

The purpose of this study was to examine how grit changes over time in adolescence and to explore the time effects of influencing variables on grit. To do this, the 1st (2018) to 5th wave (2022) data of the 4th- and 7th-grade cohorts from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 were used for analysis. Latent growth models were explored to determine the most suitable model to figure out changing patterns of grit during this period, and contemporaneous and lagged effects of the influencing variables at each time point were tested as well. The main results were as follows. First, it was confirmed that the most suitable model among the various latent growth models was the piecewise growth model, which can reflect school transitions. Grit was observed to decline during the time of analysis. Second, it was found that adolescents’ academic enthusiasm and self-esteem had a significant positive contemporaneous effect on grit. It was also observed that at some time points, academic enthusiasm had a lagged effect that positively influenced grit in the following year, while self-esteem did not have a significant lagged effect. The perception of parental support had a significant positive contemporaneous effect on grit at some time points, with a significant lagged effect at some time points. The perception of teacher support had a significant positive contemporaneous effect on grit at some time points and a significant positive lagged effect on grit at some time points. The perception of friend support was found to have no significant contemporaneous effect, while there were significant negative lagged effects for grit at some points. Finally, the implications and recommendations of this study are discussed.

This article reveals the features of the emotional states of adolescents studying in private and public schools in Kyrgyzstan. In the period of reaching adolescence, the systems of business and personal relationships with people around them completely change. Most of their time is occupied by serious business, less time is devoted to rest and entertainment. The requirements for the cognitive processes of a teenager both from peers and adults are increasing. Adults switch to a different style of communication with adolescents, where appealing to them with rationality and consistency, less feelings and expect a similar response. The transition period of a teenager is usually characterized by increased sensitivity and emotionality, which can be traced in mild excitability, as well as frequent mood swings. Many specialists were looking for various options for solving the problem of the emotional sphere, as well as the emotional distress of adolescents, more attention was paid to the peculiarities of the emotional perception of children, as well as their response in the circle of communication of peers, adults, especially in the field of education.

Adolescence is a time of significant changes and health risks, highlighting the importance of family and bond-strengthening programs, such as the Strengthening Families Program 10–14 (SFP10-14), to prevent risky behaviors. Objective: to analyze the experiences of families of adolescents participating in a program to strengthen family bonds (SFP10-14). Method: a qualitative exploratory study with an interpretative approach was performed, using generic qualitative research as a methodological reference, where 19 parents and 15 adolescents participating in the program were interviewed, focusing on the thematic analysis of their experiences, and the data were analyzed through thematic categorization. Results: From the participants’ speeches, four thematic categories emerged: Perception of parental roles; Conversation and assertive communication; Strengthening family bonds; and Influence of religious practices on children’s education. Final considerations: The use of the SFP 10-14 is effective in strengthening family bonds and preventing risky behaviors among adolescents, suggesting the inclusion of this instrument in public policies and preventive programs focused on this population.

The COVID-19 pandemic provided an extraordinary and naturalistic context to observe young people’s psychosocial profiles and to study how a condition of environmental deprivation and lack of direct social contact, affects the well-being and health status of adolescents. The study explored whether the COVID-19 outbreak changes, in the short term, the acute well-being perception in adolescents, as measured by a Personalized Well-Being Index (PWBI) and the four components affecting health (i.e., lifestyle habits, social context, emotional status, mental skills), in a sample of early adolescent students. Data from 10 schools were collected on 1019 adolescents (males 48.3%, mean age 12.53 ± 1.25 y). Measurements were obtained at two time points, in September/October 2019, (baseline condition, BC) as part of the “A new purpose for promotion and eVAluation of healTh and well-being Among healthy teenageRs” (AVATAR) project and during the Italian Lockdown Phase (mid–late April 2020, LP), with the same students using an online questionnaire. During COVID-19 quarantine, adolescents showed a lower PWBI (p < 0.001) as compared to the BC. Considering the four health-related well-being components, lifestyle habits (p < 0.001), social context (p < 0.001), and emotional status (p < 0.001), showed significantly lower values during LP than BC. However, mental skills, in LP, displayed a significant increase as compared to BC (p < 0.001). In this study, we have provided data on the personalized well-being index and the different components affecting health in adolescents during the COVID-19 lockdown, showing a general decrease in well-being perception, expressed in lifestyle habits, social, and emotional components, demonstrating detrimental effects in the first phase of quarantine on adolescents’ psychosocial profiles. Our results shed new light on adolescence as a crucial period of risk behavior, especially when social support is lacking.

The need for psychological prevention and correction of the psyche of younger adolescents is reflected in the works of various researchers and scientists of our time (May R., Bozhovich L.I., Mukhina V.S., Elkonin B.D.). Currently, special attention is paid to the ways and methods of correcting persistent teenage anxiety (Prikhozhan A.M., Starshinina I.V., DeMond M. Grant, Jing Wu, Mynbaeva A., Berdibaeva S.K., etc.), which can lead to violations in the emotional sphere of perception of the world of a teenager, his socialization, personality maladaptation and other negative consequences. The theoretical significance lies in a systematic, multi-level approach to diagnosing anxiety problems in younger adolescents and studying its determinants; in revealing the possibilities of art therapy for correcting the level of anxiety in younger adolescents; in the development of a correctional program based on art therapy; in replenishing the theoretical sections of psychology with the conclusions and conclusions made in the framework of this study.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, important insights have been obtained into the neurocognitive development during adolescence. To better understand how these neuroscientific insights impact the real world, we investigated how neuroscience has shaped public perceptions of the “teenage brain” and if these perceptions influence adolescent behavior. When asking to generate free associations with the word “teenage brain,” adolescents ( n = 363, Mage = 14.47 years) and parents ( n = 164, Mage = 47.16 years) more often mention undesirable behaviors (e.g., “irresponsible”) than desirable behaviors (e.g., “creative”). Despite these dominantly negative associations, priming adolescents with positively versus negatively framed statements about adolescent brain development did not influence their subsequent risk-taking, impulsivity, and performance on response-to-failure tasks. However, we did find a more nuanced effect, related to how much adolescents agreed with the negative versus positive priming statements: Adolescents' negative beliefs about adolescent brain development reinforced negative behaviors by increased risk-taking behaviors, and adolescents' positive beliefs reinforced positive behaviors by using positive strategies to cope with academic setbacks. The current findings underline the impact of views that build up over time and that these are not easily influenced by a one-time instance of information but rather reinforce the impact of new information. To prevent negative perceptions of the teenage brain from becoming self-fulfilling prophecies, it is important that communication about adolescent neurocognitive development is framed in a more balanced way. Neuroscientists need to be more aware of how their research impacts the real world, before we are fully ready for “real-world neuroscience.”

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a prime developmental period to explore human–pet relationships, particularly given that teens are often relying less on their families, and more on other attachment figures such as peers and pets. However, most research on pet companionship is conducted with adults and young children. Moreover, lived experiences around having pets in households with adolescents are underexplored, particularly from parents’ perspectives. This qualitative interview study of 31 parents/guardians in the Northeast U.S. explored perceptions of the benefits and challenges of having pets for their adolescent’s well-being as well as how adolescents affected their pet’s well-being. Our three main themes for perceived benefits of pets included social (e.g., reducing anxiety), physical (e.g., screen time companionship), and emotional (e.g., regulation of difficult emotions such as anger, loneliness). Challenges to adolescent well-being included such social topics as family tension around unevenly shared responsibilities, physical themes such as problematic animal behaviors, and emotional themes related to grieving the passing of pets. We offer a developmental systems approach to understanding pets within adolescent families, noting future directions for developing family interventions to improve pet–adolescent interactions given the demands of child and pet upbringing during adolescence.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents’ routines were deeply affected, which negatively impacted their level of PA. Knowing the barriers to PA in adolescence is relevant, because the perception of more barriers is one of the most consistent negative correlates of PA participation. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the barriers perceived by adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic by sex, education level, PA level, and BMI. A total of 1369 students (621 boys and 748 girls; mean age: 14.4 years; SD: 1.74) participated in the study. The chi-square test was used to analyze the differences between groups. Only 3.1% of the adolescents complied with the international guidelines for PA. In general, the barriers with the highest prevalence were the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of time, and taking time away from study. The number of perceived barriers to PA was higher among girls, younger, and inactive participants. Boys selected more the barriers due to COVID-19 than girls, and students with normal weight chose more barriers than those with overweight. This study provides information on adolescents’ PA barriers during the COVID-19 pandemic and draws attention to the negative effects that restrictive measures have had on adolescents’ PA levels.

Life for today’s adolescents generally involves spending a large part of their time in front of a screen, permanently connected to the internet. It is no surprise to learn that recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of studies on how adolescent identities are being affected by the phenomenon of hyperconnectivity. This article addresses the perception adolescents have of the uses and functions they encounter during the time they are online and their self-perceived risks, as well as the tools or strategies they use to tackle the threats of a hyperconnected society. This involved designing a qualitative study in which 130 adolescents took part in different focus groups. The results revealed that adolescents use technologies mainly as a means of communication and entertainment, and as they mature, they perceive greater risks associated with this use. The study also found that they deploy few tools and strategies to deal with the self-perceived risks.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a period characterized by developmental, psychological, and psychosocial alterations, with a major impact on youths’ attitudes and perceptions. Adolescents with asthma may not comply with treatment and may develop risky behaviors, including smoking, vaping, and other substance use, leading to unanticipated exacerbations and consequences. Vaping has become extremely popular in this age group, and studies have suggested that it has potential adverse effects on asthmatic airways. More well-designed studies are needed to confirm the initial worrying data, and action must be taken by both medical officers and health authorities to deal with the elephant in the room and curb the vaping pandemic. The aim of this paper is to provide a review of the current knowledge regarding the effect of vaping on adolescents with asthma and to propose actions to restrain this fast-growing trend.

Adolescence is a period in which several transformations and identity formation occur, making adolescents vulnerable to risky situations. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the association between physical activity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the use of licit drugs by high school adolescents in Tocantinopolis (Brazil). One hundred and sixty-two adolescents (aged 16.3; SD = 1.7 years old) answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic information, time of physical activity and of sedentary behaviors, and use of cigarettes and alcohol. The HRQoL was assessed through the KIDSCREEN-27. As a result, the practice of physical activity among adolescents was significantly associated only with the domains of physical well-being (β= 0.003; p < 0.001) and with the domain of the social support and peer group (β= 0.002; p < 0.012). In addition, the adolescents who reported not smoking and not consuming alcoholic beverages were four times more likely to have a better perception of quality of life in the domain of physical well-being (OR = 4.06; p < 0.001). In conclusion, physically active adolescents, who do not drink alcohol and do not smoke, had better HRQoL.

Little research on indulgent parenting, however, has included and investigated both adolescent and parental well-being problems. To extend the literature, the current study used both adolescent and parental reports in a dyadic context to investigate the association between indulgent parenting and the psychological well-being problems of both adolescents and their parents. This study used a sample of 128 adolescent–parent dyads. The findings from the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) suggested that (1) the adolescent perceptions of behavioral indulgent parenting were significantly related to their own well-being problems; (2) the parents’ perceptions of relational and behavioral indulgent parenting were significantly related to their own well-being problems; and (3) no effects were found between adolescents and their parents. The findings from this study have implications for prevention and intervention programs to improve parenting practices and reduce parents’ well-being problems.

Relevance. This study is important for understanding the children’s recovery process after brain damage and it also sets the stage for further research on the time perception in states of reduced or depressed consciousness. Goal. This article is devoted to the study of changes in time perception (сhronoception) among adolescent children after they have got moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. Method. The data obtained on children who have experienced post-traumatic state of mental confusion while recovering from brain injuries (n = 19) were compared with two control groups: adolescents with no brain damage (n = 25) and young people (n = 14). Results. Based on the data obtained it can be inferred that after having had brain injuries, children experience significant difficulties both in assessing the current time and in subjective timing of the minute interval. When restoring the psychological status after brain injuries, the formation of spatio-temporal connections, the ability to interiorise external eventfulness and the emergence of a correspondence between perceptual and conceptual times, are required due to the actualization of internal senses. It is suggested that the restoration of chronoception depends not only on the level of recovery of the child’s consciousness after a brain injury.

Adolescence is a Latin word, which means “a process of growing up.” Many psychologists and sociologists consider it as a very important phase of life, as all the major sexual orientations take place during this time of an individual. In addition, perception building and morality are put in the form of bricks to the new base of adulthood that ultimately gives a direction to the physical, social and psychological consequences faced in one’s life.This paper tries to throw some light how sexuality and morality are interweave together to put an adolescent into his/her specific role which is either socially accepted or rejected. Otherrelated factors will also be discussedas they are somehow directly or indirectly shapes the perception regarding one’s own sexuality.

In the modern world, electronic devices (ED), such as smartphones, tablets, and computers, have become an integral part of our life thanks to scientific advances in technology and the availability of the Internet. This changes our perception of time and affects intellectual experience. Using electronic devices can be beneficial for learning, work and entertainment, but excessive time in the virtual world can lead to a loss of touch with reality, affecting emotional and physical well-being and social relationships. Studying the influence of electronic devices on cognitive development in adolescence is especially important, since during this age period structural and functional changes associated with physiological processes occur.

Background: The individual’s perception of life satisfaction (LS) is regarded as a key indicator of one’s overall experience of wellbeing, sensitive to the broad spectrum of functioning. Adolescence is particularly an important period for assessing LS and factors associating with LS. The present study investigated cross-sectional trends in adolescents’ LS levels across three time points over a 10-year period, as well as the role of stress experience and socio-demographic differences in association with LS. Methods: The study used cross-sectional data from three time points: 2011 (n = 1239), 2016 (n = 1233), and 2022 (n =311), including adolescents from lower and upper secondary public schools, with an age range of 13–20 years. Results: There were relatively high and stable mean scores on LS across all time points; however, significant differences were found between 2011 and 2016. Results from the multivariate linear regression analysis showed that sex and age were moreover weakly associated with LS, where LS decreased slightly between the ages of 13 and 18 years and increased from 19 to 20 years. Of the stress domains, interpersonal and school-related stressors showed the strongest negative and significant association with LS; significant interaction effects of sex by stress domains were found, but not with sex by time. Conclusion: This study supports the relatively high and stable level of LS in adolescents across the investigated time points. Demographic factors were moreover weakly associated with LS. The findings also contribute by showing the significant role of interpersonal and school-related stressors in association with LS.

Full textAbstract:
Historical Background The disorder now called attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADDH), which will soon be renamed attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, was first delineated by behaviorally oriented pediatricians. Their clinical descriptions are strikingly up-to-date.1,2 Moreover, their early clinical observations of the effectiveness of psychostimulants such as dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate have been amply substantiated by extensive investigations.3 Probably the major shift in our understanding of the disorder has occurred with regard to its prognosis. The standard expectation was that the disorder was self-limited, becoming attenuated with time and eventually remitting completely. Understandably, the clinical management of such children was affected by the perception of its natural history. As a result, psychostimulants were not recommended during adolescence when they were believed to cease to be antihyperactivity drugs and to have the typical stimulating effects well known in adults. As a matter of fact, the stimulants were believed to be potentially dangerous drugs in adolescence because of the expectation that they would lead to euphoria, tolerance, and addiction, in those who had previously been quieted with the drugs. There is now considerable evidence indicating that ADDH is not a maturational disorder that bears a benign prognosis. However, like many observations of astute practitioners, the opinion that children with hyperactivity regularly outgrow theirdifficulties in adolescence was not altogether wrong. The condition is not static; a proportion of affected children do improve, some to the point of being free of significant behaviour problems, but many do not.

Screen time and the use of social networks is the most frequent form of leisure time occupation and socializing for adolescents. The present study is aimed at understanding and characterizing, from an ecological perspective, what distinguishes healthy and less healthy or even dependent use of social media in young people and the influence on adolescents’ well-being. This paper is based on the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) from 2022, a survey carried out every 4 years, in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), following an international protocol. A total of 7643 students from the 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th school grades responded, of which 53.9% were female, with an average age of 15.05 (SD = 2.36). The sample is representative of the school grades under study. The results allow us to study and identify similarities and differences between three groups related to the level of healthiness in the use of social networks and its relations to well-being from an ecological perspective. What distinguishes adolescents with less healthy use of social networks is that they are more often female, older, have more self-injurious behaviour, higher alcohol consumption, and a worse relationship with teachers. The adolescents with the highest level of dependence on social networks are those who have a higher perception of lack of safety at school and in their area of residence, as well as a higher use of screen time as a leisure activity. The well-being of adolescents using social media in a healthy way is explained by fewer psychological symptoms, better stress management strategies, better body awareness, more physical activity, less time online with friends, and better relationships with family and teachers. Technologies and social networks are important for the well-being of adolescents; it is essential to promote a healthy, critical and balanced use with other “screen-free” activities and to promote socio-emotional skills, a lack of which seems to be one of the biggest risk factors associated with the healthy use of technologies.

Social media is increasingly prevalent in the daily lives of young people as a source of entertainment and social interaction. However, the time spent on such stimuli reduces availability for other activities that used to be more prevalent, such as reading, development of motor skills, and face-to-face social interaction. Little is known about the effects of this habit changes on the cognitive development of young individuals. One possible way to assess cognitive investment in a particular task is through the perception of time passage. In the present study, we investigated the cognitive investment in different activities and its relationship with the perception of time passage in young individuals aged 14 to 15 years old. Four groups of volunteers were formed. Each group performed a different activity for 23 minutes. Group 1 spent the 23 minutes browsing a social network (TikTok); Group 2 read classics of Brazilian literature; Group 3 played the board game “Pictionary”; and Group 4 was instructed to practice a complex pen spinning around the fingers. The duration of the activity was not disclosed, and at the end of the 23 minutes, volunteers were individually asked how much time they thought had passed during the activity. The group that engaged in TikTok had an average perception of 20 minutes, a value almost identical to the pen spinning, which was 19 minutes, with no statistically significant difference between them (p > 0.05). On the other hand, activities requiring greater cognitive effort and social interaction, such as reading and the board game, had average time perceptions of 25 and 28 minutes, respectively. The latter two even reached time perception values of 40 and 44 minutes, which were the highest in the entire experiment. According to analysis of variance, groups with the lowest mean time perception (TikTok and pen spinning) were significantly different from the board game group (p < 0.05). Based on our results, we can conclude that the nature of the activity undertaken affects time perception on the brain. This may be related to the amount of new information presented and absorbed during novelty and learning activities. Engaging in new and cognitive demanding experiences give the impression that time lasted longer. Conversely, repetitive activities without new stimuli give the sensation that the same time interval seems shorter. Further studies investigating the consequences of overexposure to repetitive and unstimulating activities are necessary to understand their potential effects on the brain development of adolescents.

To identify factors associated with Korean adolescents’ lifestyle habits and mental health problems (stress perception, depressive mood, and suicidal thoughts), data from 842 adolescents’ (13–18 years) responses to the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (VII–2 and 3; 2017–2018) were analyzed. After controlling for sociodemographic and health status characteristics, results of multinomial logistic regression revealed drinking alcohol (stress perception: odds ratio (OR) = 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.19–2.19; depressive mood: OR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.67–4.02; suicidal thoughts: OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.18–4.42), increased sedentary time (stress perception: OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.36–2.58), ≤6 h weekday sleep (stress perception: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.00–1.66; suicidal thoughts: OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.05–3.75), and 8 h ≤ weekend sleep (stress perception: OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.56–0.98; depressive mood: OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.41–0.98; suicidal thoughts: OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.21–0.79) were significantly associated with mental health problems. Reducing Korean adolescents’ mental health issues may require alcohol education, timed breaks/reduced sedentary time, and campaigns encouraging adequate sleep for teenagers.

The issue of tolerance has been actively discussed in psychology. Psychological science has to solve a number of important methodological problems related to the etiology of this term. Adolescence is the time then one’s identity is being formed. This can be assumed by the authors that the pupils with a positive identity are more tolerant towards "others." The hypothesis of the study: Positive attitude influence the perception of “tolerant” schoolchildren by the “other” to a greater extent. The perception of the “other” by “intolerant” schoolchildren is more subject to negative stereotyping. For the purpose of the study, a methodology for measuring tolerance was developed. It included scales of measuring interpersonal and intergroup tolerance. In addition, expert teachers avaluation of pupils were used. Based on their assessments, two groups of pupils were formed. One of them experts rated as “good” pupils. They received higher marks on the tolerance scale. The second group of pupils, according to the experts’ evaluation, had serious problems with discipline at school. They received low marks on the tolerance scale. This group of pupils was called "hooligans." The results of the study indicate that tolerant students have no significant differences in the perception of “themselves” and “strangers.” The perception of “hooligans” shows a polarization effect: “they” are perceived only positively but "strangers".
