Abstract
The paper presents a study aimed at determining the connection between the use of the Internet and social networks and the level of adolescent self-esteem and self-assessment of their own qualities and abilities, as well as determining the correlation between the social network use with children's educational aspirations. Adolescents' attitudes towards people, fear of the future, their willingness to take risks, reading classic books and attitudes towards multimedia learning and reading were also detected. The research was conducted by examining the attitudes of adolescents aged 14 to 19 years. The data were obtained by processing N=599 questionnaires of a representative focused sample of adolescents - high school students in the Republic of Serbia. The research was conducted in 2021. Descriptive, correlation and regression analysis was used in data processing. Descriptive analysis showed that the lowest average score was achieved for the dimension related to reading classic books, and the highest for the dimensions of attitude towards people and fear of the future. Correlative analysis between the dimensions showed that self-esteem and the use of social networks are not related, but the more positive attitude towards education, the higher are standards and the more positive are attitudes towards people. A similar finding is in the regression analysis, which shows that what affects self-esteem is the value of one's own standards, the attitude towards people, as well as the fear of the future.
期刊介绍：
NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
