Reprezentarea socială a comportamentului adictiv la adolescenți

Abstract

In this article, we set out to determine the particularities of the social representation of addictive behavior in teenagers. Addictive behavior is particularly dangerous for preadolescents and teenagers, whose age coincides with the period of crisis when it is heightened the need for identity and to resolve important life issues related to their new adult status. The study of preadolescents' and teenagers' social representations of addictive behaviors allows us to state that there is a positive attitude towards lying, sex, and computer addiction, but in other aspects, attitudes towards addictions differ between subjects in the two groups.
