Popis: Primjenjujući sociološku perspektivu, ovaj se rad bavi analizom rizičnih ponašanja i njihovom povezanošću s nekim sociodemografskim obilježjima mladih u Hrvatskoj. Pritom se koriste dva teorijska pristupa. Prvi je klasni, odnosno socioekonomski pristup koji položaj u društvenoj strukturi smatra važnom odrednicom odabira ponašanja. Drugim se pristupom rizična ponašanja promatraju u kontekstu sociokulturnih faktora, specifično rodne dimenzije. Oba pristupa se nastoji teorijski približiti korištenjem Bourdieuova koncepta habitusa. Rezultati empirijskog istraživanja mladih ukazuju na konzistentnu prisutnost rodnih razlika pri čemu se one mogu pripisati kulturi muškosti koja rodno određuje rizična ponašanja poput pušenja, pijenja alkohola i konzumacije lakih droga te ostalih oblika devijantnih ponašanja. Socioekonomski status je značajno povezan s konzumacijom alkohola i nekim devijacijama u ponašanju, ali ta je povezanost različitog predznaka. Socioekonomski status značajno je pozitivno povezan s iskustvom konzumacije alkohola i s iskustvom (auto)destruktivnih ponašanja, dok je negativno i značajno povezan s ponašanjima koja se mogu označiti devijantnima u kontekstu školovanja. Ovaj rad temelji se na kvantitativnom istraživanju mladih provedenom 2018. godine na uzorku od 1500 ispitanika u dobi od 14 do 29 godina iz cijele Hrvatske.
Using a sociological approach, this paper analyzes risky behaviors and their correlation to sociodemographic characteristics of youth in Croatia. Two theoretical approaches are applied. The first approach employs a class or socioeconomic perspective that considers social position as an important determinant of behavior choices. The second approach examines risky behaviors in the context of sociocultural factors, specifically gender dimensions. Both approaches seek to theoretically approximate the concept of habitus developed by Bourdieu. The results of this empirical research indicate a consistent presence of gender differences that can be attributed to a strong masculine culture that genderizes risky behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, drug use, and other deviant behaviors. Socioeconomic characteristics, on the other hand, depend to a greater extent on the type of risky behavior. Socioeconomic status is a significant indipendent variable, but with different directions of association to some risky behaviors such as alcohol consumption and behavioral deviations. Socioeconomic status is positively associated with the experience of alcohol consumption and (auto)destructive behaviors, while it is negatively and significantly associated with behaviors that can be labeled as deviant in the context of education. This paper is based on a quantitative research conducted in 2018 on a sample of 1500 respondents aged 14 to 29 from across Croatia.
