Behavioral perceptions in early adolescence: parental relationships, school attitude and deviations in adolescent behavior

Abstract

Raziskava se ukvarja z mladostnikovim vedenjskim odstopanjem in z njegovo percepcijo odnosov s starši in do šole v obdobju zgodnje adolescence. Temelji na prepričanju, da odnosi z mamo in očetom pomembno vplivajo na socialno vedenje mladostnika, še posebej na konflikte z okoljem. Opačić (1995) ugotavlja, da ni pomembno, kako se starši in okolje vedejo v odnosu do njih, temveč to, kako mladostniki vidijo (percepirajo) te odnose. Zato nas je zanimalo predvsem, kako mladostniki vidijo odnose s starši, pri čemer je bil poudarek na naslednjih dimenzijah odnosov: kontrola, kaznovanje in zanemarjanje staršev ter intimnost (bližina) s starši. S pomočjo teh dimenzij smo želeli osvetliti mladostnikovo doživljanje oziroma videnje odnosov z mamo in očetom v obdobju zgodnje adolescence. V raziskavi so uporabljeni kvantitativni raziskovalni postopki, uporabljen merski instrumentarij pa zajema štiri nestandardizirane anketne vprašalnike: Pogostost vedenjskega odstopanja, Odnos z mamo/očetom, Konflikt s starši v zvezi z različnimi temami pogovora, Odnos do šole. Uporabili smo deskriptivno in kavzalno neeksperimentalno metodo empiričnega pedagoškega raziskovanja. Raziskava vključuje slučajnostni vzorec učencev, ki so v šolskem letu 2007 obiskovali 7. in 9. razred osnovne šole v občini Maribor (n = 300)My research work deals with the differences in behaviour among adolescents, the perception of their relationship with their parents and their attitude towards school during adolescence. The research work dealt with answering questions concerning the relationship with parents, attitude towards school and deviations in the behaviour of adolescents. Opačič (1995) argues that the relationship between parents, the environment and teenagers is not so important. He emphasizes the importance of their perception of such relationships. We used quantitative research procedures in our study. The study consisted of four different non-standardized questionnaires: (1) The frequency of behaviour deviation (2) The relationship with the mother and the relationship with the father (3) Conflicts with the parents connected with different conversation themes (4) Attitude towards school. The study relied on descriptive and causal-non-experimental methods of empirical pedagogical research. The research included a random sample of 7th and 9th grade pupils from a primary school in Maribor (n=300). The research was conducted during the 2007 school year
