Abstract

Siromaštvo je fenomen koji pogađa velik broj ljudi diljem svijeta, te ljudi koji su
izloženi siromaštvu osjećaju brojne negativne posljedice te pojave. Kao posebno
rizična skupina ističu se adolescenti koji žive u siromašnim uvjetima jer
adolescencija, kao faza prelaska iz djetinjstva u odraslu dob, donosi sa sobom
određene specifične razvojne rizike. Cilj ovog rada bio je dobiti uvid u istraživanja
koja se bave pitanjem postoji li povezanost između siromaštva i pojave problema u
ponašanju kod adolescenata. Rezultati mnogih istraživanja su pokazali kako su
adolescenti koji žive u siromaštvu skloniji razvoju različitih tipova problema u
ponašanju, s time da su djevojke sklonije razvoju internaliziranih teškoća, dok
mladići češće razvijaju eksternalizirane teškoće. Kao važan faktor ističe se dinamika
u obiteljima u kojima vlada lošija materijalna situacija – u takvim obiteljima
roditelji su nerijetko pod stresom, te su česti bračni sukobi, što nepovoljno utječe na
njihove odgojne postupke, a sve to posljedično dovodi do otežane prilagodbe
adolescenata. Stoga je važno pružati psihosocijalnu podršku i provoditi programe
prevencije, kako među adolescentima lošijeg socio-ekonomskog statusa, tako i među
njihovim roditeljima. Upravo iz tih razloga ova tema je važna za profesiju socijalnog
rada, te joj je potrebno posvetiti više pozornosti i raditi na većoj edukaciji stručnjaka
o navedenim pitanjima.

Abstract (english)

Poverty is a phenomenon that affects many people around the world, and people who
are exposed to poverty feel the numerous negative consequences of this condition. As
a particularly risky group, adolescents living in poor circumstances are emphasized
because adolescence, as a phase of transition from childhood to adulthood, brings
with it certain specific developmental risks. The aim of this paper was to examine
whether there is a correlation between poverty and behavioral problems in
adolescents. The results of many studies have shown that adolescents living in
poverty are more inclined to develop different types of behavioral problems, with
girls being more prone to developing internalized difficulties, while youngsters tend
to develop externalized difficulties. Also, an important factor is the dynamics of
families with lower incomes - in such families, parents are constantly under stress
and there are frequent marital conflicts, which adversely affects their parenting style,
all of which lead to problematic adolescent adjustment. It is therefore important to
provide psychosocial support and implement prevention programs, both among
adolescents with a lower socio-economic status, and among their parents. Precisely
for this reason, this topic is important for the profession of social work, and it is
necessary to pay more attention to it and to work on a greater education of experts
on the issues mentioned.
