Ciljevi segmenta istraživanja koji je prikazan u ovom radu odnose se na stjecanje uvida u specifičnosti slobodnoga vremena studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, na spoznavanje njihova odnosa prema konzumiranju sredstava ovisnosti i na analizu moguće povezanosti slobodnoga vremena i konzumiranja sredstava ovisnosti. Utvrđeno je da studenti uz slobodno vrijeme pretežno povezuju zabavne i opuštajuće aktivnosti, da u pravilu žele više slobodnoga vremena, da su razmjerno tolerantni prema legalnim sredstvima ovisnosti, te da konzumaciju sredstava ovisnosti uglavnom povezuju uz razonodu i “ uljepšavanje” stvarnosti. Određene razlike u poimanju slobodnoga vremena ustanovljene su s obzirom na spol i područje znanosti kojega studenti studiraju, a u odnosu na doživljaj konzumiranja sredstava ovisnosti s obzirom na stupanj obrazovanja oca i područje znanosti kojeg studiraju. Visoki udio ispitanika konzumiranje sredstava ovisnosti povezuje s opuštanjem, zabavom i relaksacijom (što su ujedno i najčešće zastupljeni obrasci provođenja slobodnoga vremena), što govori o uskoj povezanosti tih dvaju segmenata socijalnoga profila zagrebačkih studenata. Budući da se pokazalo kako bi u slobodno vrijeme širenju vlastitih spoznaja, kulturi i nekim hobijima više vremena posvetio izrazito mali udio ispitanika, u radu se ukazuje na potrebu detaljnijega istraživanja individualnih i socijalnih odrednica životnih stilova intelektualne elite mladih. (IN ENGLISH: The segment of research presented in this paper looks at the characteristics of free time of students at the University of Zagreb, their attitude to alcohol, tobacco and drug consumption and the possible connection between the two. It has been established that students associate free time with fun and relaxing activities, they generally want more free time, they show relative tolerance for legal addiction which they mostly connect with having a good time and “brightening up” reality. Certain differences regarding the perception of free time have been observed in relation to gender and the branch of study; regarding alcohol, tobacco or drug consumption, differences have been noted in relation to father’s education
and the branch of study. A large number of respondents associate alcohol, tobacco and drug consumption with relaxation, fun and amusement (which are the most common ways of spending leisure time), thus showing a close connection between these two segments
of the social profile of students in Zagreb. Seeing that a very small number of respondents would like to work on their self-awareness, ideas, hobbies or culture in their free time, the paper points to the need for further research into individual and social determination of the young intellectual elite’s lifestyle.
