In this paper, an innovative fourteen site, eleven countries, collaborative investigation of resilience is described. As a part of a larger mixed methods study to understand resilience as a social and ecological construct, a 58-item measure of resilience was developed. Piloting of the measure with 1451 youth ages 13-23 confirmed that the measure demonstrates good construct validity. In this paper the authors describe the study and the measure, and discuss implications for understanding resilience across cultures and contexts.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of temperament on stressors' appraisal, emotional dystress and health costs of stress transaction. 289 secondary school students (93 males and 196 females) were investigated. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) by McNair, Lorr and Droppleman and the inventory concerning daily hassles and common somatic symptoms developed by author were used. In the course of two school years eight measurements were done. Temperament traits were assessed by FCZ-KT by Strelau and Zawadzki. The results of UNIANOVA indicated that: (1) More persevering students assessed stress caused by daily hassles higher and showed worse mood than their less persevering colleagues. (2) In more emotionally reactive adolescents the intensity of stress was a little higher. They reported somatic symptoms and experienced negative mood states more frequently. (3) The level of positive mood states was higher in students, who were more brisk, active and persistant. (4) Girls assessed the intensity of daily hassles' stress as well as the frequency of somatic symptoms higher than boys and their mood was more negative.

The article illustrates the phenomenon of the 'deficit of civic attitudes' observable among Polish rural youth. The data (from the author's own research and from other available sources) indicate that this deficit is not a specific feature of rural youth in Poland but of the Polish youth in general as well as of young people living in Western Europe. Simultaneously, the data presented in the article show that rural youth possesses a large civic potential. The latter can be attributed to the rural youth's openness to social changes which, in its opinion, Poland and its rural community clearly need. The materialization of these changes could lead to the civic awakening of young people. The absence of such changes, needed to create a wider space for the functioning of young people, as well as a relatively higher degree of social helplessness of the rural community may turn the 'deficit of civic attitudes' into a permanent feature of the younger generation.

This article focuses on the contents and the operations of stereotypes and the physical appearance of french, polish and german women, in the context of intercultural meetings of young people. The physical stereotypes, which are often in sharp contradictions with the appearance of participants can remain by the youth, as evidenced by the activities on stereotypes provided during the meetings. Although stereotypes are often viewed as harmful to the understanding between cultures, they play a role through their cognitive and affective dimensions in the recognition of national identities and cultures and are a gateway to cultural otherness.

The sexual revolution of the 2Ist century, by changing drastically sexual culture and practices, has made absolutely necessary special programs of sexual education for children and youth. Scientific knowledge about human sexuality is a precondition of sexual and reproductive health Access to sexual information is one of the basic human rights. Liberalization of sexual morality without appropriate information about the involved sexual risks inevitably produces an increase of unwanted pregnancies, abortions, STDs and HIV. WHO, UNAIDS and other international organizations unanimously consider sexual education as a global issue of the 21st century. However, the introduction of such programs is related with serious social and educational difficulties. That is why it has strong ideological opposition. The author compares two main rival world strategies - US strategy of complete sexual abstinence until marriage and European models of comprehensive sexual education - and comes to the conclusion that, according to reliable social and medical statistics, alternative European strategies are much more effective and realistic. The necessity of close cooperation between medical sexuologists, social scientists and educators is emphasized.

The author tries to find a possible basis for spiritual dialogue between the Church and today's Czech young people. In the first part he places the religiousness of the youth into a broader geographical and historical context. He focuses on the present reality in the Czech Republic and finds out that young people here are extremely atheistic in comparison with the youth in other European countries. At the same time, a lot of them admit that there exist some phenomena which are not possible to explain by scientific reasons. That is why the author pays special attention to the phenomenon of atheism among Czech youth. In the Czech setting we can also find the so called 'religious supermarket', in which anybody can choose from the wide offer of various forms of religion. Catholics prevail among those young people who regard themselves as believers, although a great part of them have some objections against the practice of the Catholic Church and against some parts of its doctrine. At the end the author proposes two possible typologies: according to the young people's attitudes to faith in God and according to their relationship to the Church.

European, Spanish, and regional identities were studied as part of a wider research survey of youth beliefs and experiences regarding the European Union. The research was conducted in the capital city (Madrid) and the Basque Country (Bilbao). At each location, representative and European-oriented youth samples (N=400 and N=100 each) of 18-24 years (50% female) were gathered. The interviewees were asked about their perception of border countries as included in Europe, and to rate different feasible meanings of the EU, its impact (at personal, regional, and country levels), and different cognitive, affective and evaluative aspects of European, Spanish and regional identities. Regarding European borders, Turkey was the only country most interviewees did not perceive as part of or belonging to Europe. Geography, membership in the EU and, above all, the Euro currency emerged as the most salient features of meaning for Europe (beyond shared values and traditions). The European Union was perceived as having a positive, but small impact for the person, moderate for the region, and greater impact for the country of Spain. The identity patterns were similar in most of their aspects: In Madrid, the Spanish identity was the most important, the importance of regional identity was similar to it, and the identification with Europe was moderate, the least important. In Bilbao, the identification with the Basque Country was the strongest, while Spanish and European identities were related and came out of 'little' importance. Older interviewees presented stronger European identity in the pro-European but weaker in the general sample. Finally, interviewees considered themselves only 'sometimes' as a 'European citizen' with no significant difference by Region, Age or Gender group.These relationships seem to reflect the configuration of different levels of social identity. The hegemony of different nationalist orientations led to a distinct meaning of national identity in each region (Spain in Madrid but the Basque Country in Bilbao). Thus, instead of a continuum of social category inclusiveness (as suggested by Brewer 1991), the results show different breaches between levels of social categories and identities - between Basque and higher levels in Bilbao and between Spanish and higher levels in Madrid. Summing up, the identity level reflecting the dominant national identity seems to function as a basic category distinctively organizing the whole identity configuration.The impact of the European Union was perceived as much stronger for the country (Spain) than for the region and the person. Madrid and pro-European samples perceived stronger impact on the less inclusive categories. Beyond the different identity configurations, these patterns suggest a relationship between the weak perceived impact of the European Union on levels closer to the person and the weak identification with Europe. Finally, though interviewees did not recall learning a lot about the European Union at school, this perception, as well as the experience of visiting other European countries and mastering European languages, was enhanced in the younger and the pro-European sample (and among Bilbao respondents). Thus, personal and social experiences would reinforce the perceived impact of the European Union at the personal level and certainly contribute to reinforce a shared European identity beyond national-regional nuances in the Spanish context.

The article presents the results of research concerning life orientations of rural youth from the region of Podkarpacie. The author distinguishes three basic types of attitudes that correspond with axiological orders prevailing in the period of great changes and that can be linked to the traditional society, modern society and the society in the late stage of modern development. In the surveyed population it is possible to distinguish a private-stabilisation orientation, which is characterised by the desire to preserve the traditional values and by opposition to the occurring changes. The second of the discerned orientations can be described as a mercantile orientation characteristic of societies in the early stage of modern development. The third of the distinguished orientations is called 'self-fulfilment' and it characterises societies in the late stage of modern development. The three orientations are rooted in the existing social structure. The private-stabilisation orientation dominates among school students with a low social status, which means that they represent the 'old man'. Students with a medium social status represent a mercantile mentality and are the embodiment of a 'new man'. Young people with a high social status, in turn, constitute a substratum for a 'post-modern man' who is guided by post-material values. The conducted research has proved that young people in rural areas live to 'different rhythms' and belong to 'different worlds' that can be linked to the past, present time and to the future. The rhythm of the young people's life will be largely determined then by their social status, that is by the cultural, psychological, social and material capital they have been equipped with. In the period of great changes these resources allow individuals to successfully adapt to the requirements of modern development.

The Czechoslovak Republic was constructed as the nation state of the “Czechoslovak nation”. This was expressed on the ideological level by promotion of the theory of so-called Czechoslovakism. In spite of its vague formulation, it contributed to the Slovaks not being recognized as a nation in the Czechoslovak Republic. This was opposed by the autonomist camp, which had the political aims of gaining recognition of the Slovaks as a nation and obtaining political autonomy for Slovakia. The failure of the autonomists to achieve their aims led to the radicalization of their movement in the 1930s. Activation of the younger generation significantly contributed to this. The statements of its representatives on the idea of Czechoslovak unity were substantially sharper. In contrast to the older generation, the autonomist youth already unambiguously declared that they did not regard Slovak autonomy as the final aim of their movement. They did not hesitate to cast doubt on the shared Czechoslovak statehood. Their absolute rejection of Czechoslovak unity, also on the level of Czechoslovak statehood can be considered the most significant difference in the generation gap among the autonomists in relation to the ideological conception of Czechoslovakism.

In the text, in light of the theoretical assumptions of research on youth's sense of identity, I characterize the conditions of the social functioning of Polish ethnic minorities living in Belarus, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, and I discuss the results of research conducted among the students of schools with Polish as the language of instruction in those countries. Among the members of a national minority double or even triple identities often emerge, but problems with shaping one's identity are not uncommon as well. Among the identification profiles of researched students identification with "Polishness" was dominant. Declarations expressing bonds with the country of residence were also disclosed.

This article offers a two-fold contribution. On the one hand, it includes a review of the key junctions in the research landscape related to migrant children and youth by bringing together youth studies, migration studies and a child-centered paradigm with the focus on the meso-level and the concept of belonging. On the other hand, by seeing belonging as a valuable analytical framework for the integration of approaches at the tripartite analysis favoring the meso-level, the paper encourages studies to dynamically overcome the dichotomy, incompleteness and a static nature of the research conducted separately on either macro or micro levels.

The main goal of the present study was to determine the relationship between youths' leisure activities and their health attitudes. The author also aimed at investigating the connections between the youths' leisure activities and their parents' social background. In addition, she also tried to detect possible relationships between young people's pastime and their value orientations, such as materialism, and their levels of satisfaction with life. Data were collected from students enrolled in the secondary schools of the Southern Plain Region (three counties, namely, Bacs-Kiskun, Bekes and Csongrad) of Hungary. This representative sample consisted of 1114 high school students aged between 14-21 years. Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information from students regarding their family structure, psychosocial health, value orientations, satisfaction with life and socio-demographics. Correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed that youths' leisure time activities were related to other elements of their lifestyle such as value orientations and health attitudes. Social status indicators, however, were a more important influence on their leisure as compared to their Western-European counterparts

In the paper we identify and focus on literary reflection of the Cyrillo-Methodian legacy in the literature for children and youth in the pre-artistic, or more narrowly, Matica period. We consider the works from the context of (non-intentional → intentional) literature for children and youth, which are/form part of literature of the Matica period connected with the foundation and activity of Matica slovenská. In terms of motifs and themes, the selected poetic texts from the investigated works are connected with the life and work of apostles Cyril and Methodius or emphasize the importance of their mission in the Great Moravian environment to the Slovak nation. We focus on Ján Levoslav Bella’s (Poludničan’s) poem Ku vzkrieseniu Cyrilla (On Cyril’s Resurrection), published in Cyril a Method – Katolícke Noviny pre Cirkev a Dom (Cyril and Methodius - Catholic News for Church and Home), a period newspaper, and on poems that can be classified as important poetic works from the context of literature for children and youth in the Matica years. These include the collection by Ján Levoslav Bella, Andrej Method Čerňanský and Janko Slávoľub Kršák Jarnie kvety (1863, Spring Flowers), which contain poems Lipa (Linden), Kde ja bývam? (Where do I reside?); and František Otto Matzenauer’s anthology Malý rečník (1873, Little Speaker), which contain poems by J. E. Dobrucký Vlasť (Homeland), J. Mičátek Oj Slovensko! (Oh Slovakia!), M. Pohronský Žiaľ nad Devínom (Sorrow above Devín) and the national song Nitra.

Social care for children and youth in Slovakia achieved significant progress in the interwar period. Behind it is the activity of the Regional Youth Care Centre in Bratislava, which began to take shape in the late 1920s, and was officially established in 1930. It became the roofing institution for District Youth Care, which arose in an evolutionary way in Slovak districts a few for years earlier. The establishment of the Centre and its district branch offices were gradual and they had to fight people´s mistrust, lack of co-workers and insufficient financial resources. The Regional Youth Care Centre overcame initial obstacles and became the main organizer of voluntary care for children and youth in Slovakia and continued its activities even after the destruction of the Czech-Slovak Republic.
