Young people's " at risk behaviours" : challenge, shortsightedness or denial ?
The adolescents ' at risk behaviours are generally interpreted as acts of defiance expressing a psychological ill-being or as the consequence of shortsightedness, an inability to estimate the danger properly. This paper proposes a critical examination of this category of " young people's at risk behaviours" built by the adult society, questions the meaning of defiance behaviour and substitutes an interpretation in terms of denial of risk for the adolescents' supposed myopia. Finally, this analysis is set within the framework of Beck and Giddens' theory of risk society. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
