Adolescents self-concept in the context of risk behaviour and self-care

Abstract

This article deals with the connection between self-concept, self-care in relation to a adolescents’ risk behaviour. The work describes the connection between self-care and at risk behaviour, which influences the teenager and their behaviour. Thereafter, it focuses on the interconnection of self-concept and risk behaviour as an important element during the formation of the personality at risk behaviour. In the last part, the authors spend time on the meta-analysis of the chosen research. The self-care influences the self-concept, therefore on the basis of the identified interconnections we can speculate to what degree of development of self-care we are able to preventively and intervention affect at risk behaviour. The significant result of the research is, that the development of a self-concept in teenagers is needed in all its dimensions for the retention of some balance in life and for the achievement of the appropriate goals in the life of an individual.
