ULOGA INDIVIDUALNIH ČIMBENIKA U POVEZANOSTI EKONOMSKIH TEŠKOĆA I ISHODA KOD ADOLESCENATA

Postoji duga tradicija društvenih znanosti u proučavanju utjecaja ekonomskih teškoća na život i razvoj pojedinaca. Siromaštvo i ekonomske teškoće obitelji povezani su s nizom eksternaliziranih i internaliziranih problema mladih te njihovih obrazovnih ishoda. Uz važne obiteljske i druge socijalno-kontekstualne procese koji su u pozadini ove povezanosti, važnu ulogu imaju i individualne karakteristike djece, adolescenata i roditelja. U ovom radu naglasak je na pregledu recentnih nalaza o ulozi kognitivnih sposobnosti, ličnosti i otpornosti djece i mladih u povezanosti između ekonomskih teškoća i ishoda adolescenata. Posebno je naznačena odgovornost istraživača u društvenim, biomedicinskim i interdisciplinarnim znanostima koji se bave proučavanjem ekonomskih teškoća kada se radi o utjecaju na kreiranje socijalnih politika i aktivnog mijenjanja okolnosti pojedinaca pogođenihekonomskim teškoćama.In social sciences there is a long tradition of studying how economic hardship influences life and personal development of individuals. Poverty and economic hardship of families are related to a series of externalized and internalized problems of young people, as well as to their educational outcomes. Alongside important family processes and other social and contextual processes relevant for that relationship, individual characteristics of children, adolescents and parents also play an important role. The paper focuses on an overview of recent findings on the role of cognitive skills, personality and endurance of children and young people in relation to economic hardship and their educational outcomes. Particular emphasis is placed on the responsibility of social, biomedical and interdisciplinary scientists dealing with economic hardship and how it influences the development of social policies and active measures aimed at individuals struck by economic hardship
