Reaction of adolescents to the problems in family: connection with self-esteem and with self-efficacy
Osecká, Lída ; Macek, Petr ; Řehulková, Oliva
The presented study is oriented to the description of relationships between adolescent coping strategies in family context and self-self variables. A sample of 316 respondents (132 girls, 184 boys, aged from 16-19) completed a survey including invetories regarding an using of different coping strategies in their own family environment. Also, both self variables, self-efficacy and self-esteem, were derived from relevant items of scales. Results did not confirm all our presumptions: Self-efficacy is mainly related to the non-expression of negative emotions (as a coping staretgy), less important predictor (but also significant) is an active rational coping. Social support is positively related to self-efficacy in girls only. In regard to boys, this relationship is negative. Self-esteem is positively related to the non-expression of negative emotions in boys, the active rational coping is significant predictor of self-esteem in girls.

Adolescence, formation of identity; and contemporary Czech adolescents
Macek, Petr
The first part is a contemporary view on adolescence of adulthood. Adolescence is not conceived only as a unique period of the life of individual, it is also a social phenomenon. Social representation of adolescence has been creating for 150 years. Achievement of identity is considered as a basic evolutional task related to period of adolescence. Concept of crisis, obligation and moratorium are associated to the solution of identity. Adolescent moratorium in relation with exploration means an opportunity, challenge, but also some health and social risk. The second part deals with changes in common behaviour and experience of Czech adolescents in last ten years - 90s. The results point out that Czech adolescents increasingly resemble to the West European adolescents. (in daily activities, future expectations).

Stress situations in adolescents and teacher´perception of that
Řehulková, Oliva ; Řehulka, Evžen
The research of the stress situations in adolescents (secondary school) and teachers´perception of these situations is described in this study. In regard to professional knowledge of psychology in teachers, we didn´t expect great differences between the manifested stress in adolescents and teachers´perception of that. The result has been confirmed, as the teachers don´t estimate stress from the partner relationships and conflicts with the teachers and they overestimate stress from the study activity.

Miovský, Michal ; Urbánek, Tomáš
During the January 2001 an extensive research project NEAD 2000 was finished which focused on alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs abuse in the population of secondary school students. This project consists of 31 regional school studies each based on the representative sample of subjects. Besides basic epidemological indicators and psychosocial characteristics of participants (related with drugs use), the NEAD project is one of the basic sources of important indicators needed for local official antidrug policy. On the other hand, this project is very important for planning and implementing of new primarily preventive programs at secondary schools.
