Resumo: | In this study, anchored in the theory of social representations, we intended to ascertain the existence of risk-taking and selfharm behaviours, as well as situations of imminent death, in a population of adolescents (boys and girls between 15 and 19). It was also our aim to understand how these behaviours might be associated to the social representations of life, death and to musical preferences. Our findings indicate that boys are the ones who tend to find themselves more often engaged in all of the three forms of endanger behaviours. It is also among the adolescents between 17 and 19 years old that these situations are more common. A preference for feminine pop is associated to self-harm behaviour and classic pop is linked to risk behaviour. Personal fulfilment seems to be the greatest indicator of both risk behaviour and self harm: the lower the perception of fulfilment, the greater the chance to adopt these kind of behaviours. Results also support that negative perceptions of well-being, and love for life are linked to risk and self harm behaviours, mainly in girls. Adolescents who shown risk behaviours represented death as a ritual and so did girls who had already found themselves on the verge of dying. |

In this study, anchored in the theory of social representations, we intended to ascertain the existence of risk-taking and selfharm behaviours, as well as situations of imminent death, in a population of adolescents (boys and girls between 15 and 19). It was also our aim to understand how these behaviours might be associated to the social representations of life, death and to musical preferences. Our findings indicate that boys are the ones who tend to find themselves more often engaged in all of the three forms of endanger behaviours. It is also among the adolescents between 17 and 19 years old that these situations are more common. A preference for feminine pop is associated to self-harm behaviour and classic pop is linked to risk behaviour. Personal fulfilment seems to be the greatest indicator of both risk behaviour and self harm: the lower the perception of fulfilment, the greater the chance to adopt these kind of behaviours. Results also support that negative perceptions of well-being, and love for life are linked to risk and self harm behaviours, mainly in girls. Adolescents who shown risk behaviours represented death as a ritual and so did girls who had already found themselves on the verge of dying. |
