Populariteit, maar niet geliefdheid, is gerelateerd aan risicogedrag van Nederlandse adolescenten

Popularity, but not likeability, is related to risk behavior of Dutch adolescents

  • Published:
Kind en adolescent

Samenvatting

Ondanks dat theoretisch en empirisch bewijs aantoont dat Amerikaanse en Australische adolescenten risicogedrag vertonen om sociale status te verwerven, is er weinig bekend over de relatie tussen risicogedrag en sociale status bij Europese adolescenten. De huidige studie onderzocht deze relatie daarom bij 253 Nederlandse adolescenten (M leeftijd = 16,83 jaar, 52 % jongens). De deelnemers beantwoordden sociometrische vragen over populariteit en geliefdheid van hun klasgenoten, en rapporteerden over hun eigen risicogedrag (het gebruik van alcohol, tabak en marihuana, alsmede het aantal seksuele partners). Structurele vergelijkingsmodellen lieten zien dat risicogedrag sterk gerelateerd was aan populariteit, maar niet aan geliefdheid. Uit deze studie blijkt dat de relatie tussen risicogedrag en sociale status in Nederland in overeenstemming is met bevindingen buiten Europa.

Abstract

Even though both theoretical and empirical evidence show that American and Australian adolescents engage in risk behavior to gain social status, evidence is lacking on the link between risk behavior and social status in European adolescents. The current study therefore examined this association among 253 Dutch adolescents (M age = 16.83 years, 52% boys). Participants completed peer nominations of popularity and likeability and self-reports of risk behaviors (alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use, and number of sexual partners). Structural equation modeling showed that risk behavior was strongly associated with popularity, but not with likeability. This study indicates that the association between risk behavior and social status in the Netherlands is in line with findings from outside Europe.
