Abstract:This paper examines the evolving social identities of young adolescents in regard to alcohol and drinking culture in Norway. Detailed analysis of 29 focus group interviews and 32 individual interviews with 12-13-year-olds reveal a thorough negative attitude towards alcohol, especially when enjoyed by young people. Young adolescents found young people to be too irresponsible and immature to drink, while adults were portrayed as capable of enjoying alcohol without losing control or experiencing other negative ef… Show more
“…This notion is based on age group and its related developmental stage, which relates to identity crisis and identity formation (see Erikson, 1956). Prior research on social identity also showed these age groups as participants (Bakken, Sandøy, & Sandberg, 2017;Benson & Elder, 2011;Crocetti & Rubini, 2017;Crocetti, Sica, Schwartz, Serafini, & Meeus, 2013). These studies centered on external variables such as psychosocial maturity, age The decision of the context where the research would be done also needs to be made.…”
Prior research on national identity focused on immigrants and racial discrimination. The current study aims to analyze national identity in Indonesia, a country with various ethnicities, especially on Bali. We hypothesized that multicultural attitudes, ethnic identity, and multicultural communication predict national identity. Four hundred undergraduate students completed the questionnaires. Data was analyzed with regression analysis entry method. Our hypothesis was partially supported. The contextual concept and understanding were discussed in explaining the research findings along with its implications. Kebangsaanku atau Etnisku? Kebanggaan dan Perilaku Pemuda Bali sebagai Warga Negara Indonesia Abstrak Penelitian-penelitian mengenai identitas nasional yang telah dilakukan pada umumnya berfokus pada imigran dan diskriminasi ras. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan identitas nasional warga negara di Indonesia yang memiliki beragam latar belakang etnis, terutama di Bali. Peneliti menghipotesiskan bahwa perilaku multikultur, identitas etnis, dan komunikasi multikultur memprediksi identitas national. Empat ratus mahasiswa strata satu mengisi kuesioner. Data dianalisis dengan metode entri analisis regresi. Hasilnya, hipotesis peneliti sebagian diterima.

“…In working with boundaries, we can also study how participants rationalize particular behavior in certain situations, creating situated legitimacy. Bakken, Sandøy, and Sandberg (2017) show how boundary work is a fruitful way of trying to understand young people's relationships with alcohol and adulthood. In their study, they analyze how young adolescents (12-13 years) perceive differences in youthful and adult drinking, and conclude that comparisons to other social groups function as a way of presenting themselves as mature.…”

“…Previous research also points to young people over time becoming more focused on 'sensible' drinking within reasonable limits than on excessive drinking which includes loss of control (Kloep et al 2001), that an ideal of conscientiousness is important in young people's relation to alcohol (e.g. Bogren 2006), and that control is central in descriptions of legitimate alcohol use (Bakken, Sandøy, and Sandberg 2017). Generally, this period in life can be viewed as a time of emerging adulthood; a time when young people seem to have left adolescence but without having completely accepted and moved into adulthood (Arnett 2000;MacMillan 2006).…”
“…They believed that young people drink because they want to be cool, because they are miserable, or because of group pressure. These narratives were interpreted as reflecting a deep-rooted cultural ambivalence towards alcohol use in Norway while also suggesting that boundaries between ‘adolescents’ and ‘adults’ are fundamental when understanding emerging adolescent social identities, especially when it comes to drinking and drinking culture 58…”

“…These questions will be examined both quantitatively (ie, examination of adolescents’ repeated surveys, parental surveys and various administrative data sources) and qualitatively (ie, examination of adolescents’ repeated individual and group-based interviews using thematic content and narrative analyses). Further, we aim to both quantitatively and qualitatively explore numerous understudied and emerging questions, including the problematic use of social media and video games,49–52 the role of alcohol and drug use opportunities,39 42 53 putative gender, ethnic and socioeconomic variations and differences,15 54 55 resilient outcomes in face of multiple risk factors41 and shifting cultural norms and behaviours surrounding early substance use 45 56–59. Finally, a wider range of research questions and outcomes extending beyond adolescence can eventually be addressed through various secondary projects and the planned individual-level linkages of quantitative data with other administrative and health data sources readily available in Norway 60.…”
PurposeThe Monitoring Young Lifestyles (MyLife) project was initiated as an integrated quantitative and qualitative prospective investigation of correlates, causes, and consequences of adolescent substance use and other addictive behaviours in Norway.ParticipantsThe MyLife cohort was recruited from middle schools in Norway, which were selected from low, medium and high standard of living areas in both rural and urban regions of the country. A total of 3512 eighth, ninth and tenth graders (55% girls) from 33 schools were enrolled in the quantitative project arm (QT), while a total of 120 eighth graders (52% girls) from six schools were enrolled in the qualitative project arm (QL).Findings to dateQT baseline was conducted in the fall of 2017, when 2975 adolescents completed an online questionnaire at school during a regular class time. A total of 2857 adolescents participated in the first QT follow-up 1 year later. QL baseline was conducted across the fall semesters of 2014 (one class) and 2015 (five classes), when a total of 118 eighth graders completed face-to-face interviews. QL follow-ups were conducted in the spring of 2015 and fall of 2017 (n=98) for group interviews, and in the spring of 2017 and 2018 (n=95) for individual interviews. In terms of additional data sources, a total of 3035 parents consented to own participation, of which 1899 completed a brief online questionnaire at QT baseline in late 2017. School principals completed brief surveys at the same time.Future plansBoth QT and QL arms have planned follow-ups through 2021. Consents were obtained for individual-level linkages of adolescent and parental quantitative surveys to each other, as well as to the information available in multiple national registries and databases. These supplemental data sources will provide key information on additional putative exposures as well as on the long-term health, educational, and social outcomes of the MyLife participants.
