DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

Research subject: the expression of experienced jeering of forms 5-10 (age 12-15) adolescents who go in for sports, who do not and who belong to risk group and jeering implemented by themselves. Research aim: to reveal the influence of gender, out-of-school activities factors (attendance of sports and children day centre) on the frequency of experienced jeering and their jeering at coevals by adolescents of forms 5-10. People being researched were given a questionnaire, prepared based on the United Kingdom York city Jeering questionnaire for schoolboys/girls. In the interview carried out in year 2008 411 adolescents of forms 5-10 (age 12-15) participated from various Lithuanian schools. Conclusions: 1. By analyzing the frequency of experienced jeering among adolescents of forms 5-10 it was determined that it does not depend on gender. The frequency of experienced jeering depends on out-of-school activity character and age factors. Sports and age factors lower the frequency of experienced jeering - those who go in for sports experience jeering more rarely than those who do not go in for sports and risk group adolescents, and adolescents of senior forms (forms 8-10) experience jeering more rarely than adolescents of younger forms (forms 5-7). 2. Jeering at other classmates is weakly influenced by gender and age factors. Girls state that they jeer at other coevals more rarely than boys do and older adolescents of forms 8-10 do that more rarely than younger adolescents of forms 5-7 do. 3. When analyzing the expression of jeering experienced by a person and frequency of his jeering at other coevals, weak linear dependence of these phenomena on age (forms 5-7) and out-of school activity (groups of adolescents who go in for sports) was found.
