Leisure can be viewed as an important context that promotes the positive, healthy and normative developmental pathway of adolescents. On the other hand, leisure can represent a context that carries with it risk factors for youth involvement risk behaviours. LACE Model (Leisure Activity-Context-Experience Model) is a model focused on understanding adolescent development through leisure (Caldwell, 2005; Caldwell, 2011) and is presented in this paper in greater detail. Furthermore, this paper gives an overview of research studies linking quality of leisure with youth developmental outcomes. Evaluation research of interventions based on leisure did not provide unambiguous answers regarding their efficiency, therefore a need still exists for scientific st...

The sample of the study included 1,647 students from the Varaždin County, Croatia, and the age of the participants ranged from 14 to 19 years. To achieve the objectives of this work, descriptive statistics methods (arithmetic mean, frequencies) and a multivariate logistic regression model with a complex sample design were used. The data showed that 8.9% of adolescents reported having had sexual intercourse at the age of 14 years and 33.4% before the age of 16 years. Among adolescents who reported experience with sexual intercourse, 21% reported having had sexual intercourse with more than three partners, while 43.9...

Previous studies have shown that resilience is associated with positive youth development and less participation in different risk behaviors. This paper aims to determine the contribution of internal and external assets of resilience to the explanation of peer violence of the adolescents. The study involved 1,647 adolescents from the county from North of Croatia (46% girls and 52% boys, aged 14 to 19 years), which is 30% of all enrolled high school students in the project. To answer our research question, CTC Youth Survey (modified by Mihić, Novak and Bašić, 2011) and a modified version of the Resilience and Youth Development Module (California Department of Education, 1997) were examined. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis of this paper. In general, the results showed that predictors that reduce the possibility of peer violence are higher levels of cooperation & communication, self-efficacy, high-expectationpro-social peers and caring relationship in peer and family environment. On the other hand, predictors that increase the possibility of peer violence are female gender and a higher level of empathy. These results suggest that attention to assets of resilience which can help youth navigate adolescence in healthy ways-is promising for development and implementation of prevention programs for peer violence.

Istraživanje je provedeno na reprezentativnom uzorku od 4.821 učenika Grada Zagreba, a raspon dobi kreće se od 14 do 19 godina. Za potrebe ovog rada korištena je modificirana verzija Resilience and Youth Development Module (California Department of Education, 1997) i modificirana verzija Family Satisfaction Scale, FACES-IV (Olson i Gorall, 2006). U svrhu ostvarivanja ciljeva istraživanja korištene su sljedeće statističke metode i analize: Kolmogorov-Smirnovljev test, hi-kvadrat test, Pearsonov koeficijent korelacije, standardna jednostavna regresijska analiza i standardna višestruka regresijska analiza. Podaci dobiveni na temelju analize pokazuju kako postoje spolne razlike u odnosu na pojedine aspekte individualne otpornosti. Djevo...

Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 1647 adolescenata iz Varaždinske županije, a raspon dobi kreće se od 14 do 19 godina. Za potrebe ovog rada korišten je Upitnik o demografskim podacima (izrađen za potrebe projekta), CTC Upitnik za učenike (Mihić, Novak i Bašić, 2010) i Modificirana verzija Resilience and Youth Development Module (California Department of Education, 1997). U svrhu ostvarivanja cilja ovog istraživanja od statističkih metoda i analiza korištena je logistička regresijska analiza. Provedenom logističkom regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je da se na temelju spola, dobi, individualnih čimbenika otpornosti (suradnja i komunikacija, samoučinkovitost, empatija, rješavanja problema, samosvijest, ciljevi i aspiracije), čimbenika otpornosti u okruže...

U radu se raspravlja o pristupu utemeljenosti na dokazima učinkovitosti, odnosno definiraju se pojmovi „praksa temeljena na dokazima učinkovitosti“ i „programi/intervencije temeljene na dokazima učinkovitosti“. Kritički se osvrće na ključne kriterije programa/intervencija temeljenih na dokazima učinkovitosti. Opisane su najznačajnije online baze učinkovitih programa i kategorije koje se koriste pri određivanju razine učinkovitosti programa/intervencija. Nadalje, raspravlja se i kritički osvrće na prednosti, ali i izazove korištenja pristupa temeljenog na dokazima učinkovitosti i kao i pri njegovoj implementaciji. Zaključno su predložene smjernice za buduća istraživanja te djelotvoran i učinkovit odabir i primjenu pristupa temeljenog na dokazima učinkovitosti u prevencijsku praksu.
