Sažetak
This paper reports on empirical survey data conducted with 437 Croatian adolescent participants in 2017. A total of 194 male (44, 4%) and 243 female (55, 6%) adolescents in the age from 15 to 19 years old were examined. The research is aimed at studying the relation between risky behaviour and adolescent beliefs and value orientations, with special emphasis on the most important risk and protective factors. The paper analyses major developmental theories of adolescent risk behaviour aetiology, with emphasis on the most prominent risk and protective dimensions. The survey instrument consisted of 4 major elements: the first part was aimed at socio-demographic traits. The second survey part examined personal beliefs and value orientations. The third part examined risk behaviour and the last survey part focused on leisure time activities. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed. The results were examined using the t-test for independent samples, ANOVA, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Results show multiple significant statistical differences based on gender, with boys reporting significantly higher risky alcohol behaviour (p<, 001) and material value orientation (p<, 001), while girls report significantly higher traditional value orientation (p<, 001) and humanistic value orientation (p<, 001). Older adolescents report significantly higher participation in risky alcohol behavior (p<, 001) and younger adolescents report significantly higher traditional value orientation (p<, 01). Academic success established a significant difference between participants in risky alcohol behaviour (p<, 001), with participants who have high academic success score lower on risky alcohol behaviour than participants with average and low academic success. A significant negative correlation was established between risky alcohol behaviour and traditional value orientation (r= -0, 30, p<, 001) and between risky alcohol behaviour and humanistic value orientation (r= -0, 13, p<, 01). Participants reported significant positive correlation between risky alcohol behaviour and material value orientation, (r= 0, 22, p<, 001). Results of hierarchical regression analysis for risky alcohol behaviour indicate academic success and traditionalistic orientations as protective factors (p<, 001), while materialistic orientations and more leisure time activity positively predict risky behaviour (p<, 01).
