“…It should also be noted that alcohol abuse is perceived as one of the most stigmatizing mental disorders and that implies greater social distance 11,12 . This result for alcoholism deserves also an observation, because if more than 2/3 endorses it, and alcohol is the substance more present and consumed in recreational settings, although not all young people consume, we have a set of young people who may consider their peers as alcoholics 14 .…”

“…It is possible that adolescents and young people consider that sharing the problem with the teacher can have an impact on their academic achievement or be associated with problems of anonymity and confidentiality 10 . In terms of medicaments/products it is mentioned in the literature that adolescents and young people tend to have for most mental disorders a negative view of psychopharmacology, not knowing what are those medicaments as overvaluing the side effects, such as "zombie effect", weight gain and addiction 12 . In this study approximately 1/4 of the sample consider the use of psychopharmacology as harmful.…”

“…Studies show that low levels of mental health literacy in its different components, for example, associating depression and alcohol consumption, emerge as barriers to professional help seeking, either by its absence or for its postponement and may result on the worsening of symptoms, and possible evolution for dependence situations 9 . Social stigma is also pointed out as a barrier to help seeking, for example leading the individual to hide the signs, or even as a consequence of low levels of literacy [10][11][12] . Therefore mental health literacy of young people is considered a key principle for the planning and development of health education programs, with particular focus in the school context, where individuals spend most of their time.…”

Characterize the mental health literacy of adolescents and young people about alcohol abuse, in the various components of the concept. Exploratory descriptive study, through the application of the instrument QuALiSMental to a representative sample of 4938 adolescents and young adults aged between 14 and 24 years, attending schools in the 3rd cycle of basic and secondary education of the central region of Portugal.The recognition of the vignette of alcohol abuse by the participants is high (72.4%), although it is also identified as alcoholism (70.3%), which indicates the perception of the problem as serious. Participants have modest levels of literacy in the remaining components, preferring informal sources of help.Therefore, we conclude that there is a need to implement school programs that promote mental health literacy, to promote the adoption of healthy behaviors in young people, which transfer them into adulthood.

Aims and methodTo establish the views of child and adolescent psychiatrists (n = 52) regarding the conceptual and empirical validity, clinical utility and acceptability of the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in child and adolescent populations. A questionnaire survey was carried out.ResultsThe child and adolescent psychiatrists' perception of the validity of borderline personality disorder for adult populations was relatively high (82% felt it to be valid). Significantly fewer of those considered borderline personality disorder to be valid for adolescent populations (37%). Strikingly different results were obtained when the questions related to child (<12 years) populations (2%).Clinical implicationsGiven the views expressed by these consultant child and adolescent psychiatrists, it would seem appropriate to approach with caution suggestions that the borderline personality disorder category should have extended use with adolescent and child populations.

“…The higher education stage, at the age of 18 to 24 is a critical stage for adolescents regarding ending adolescence development, ending identity crises, and gaining importance of the struggle for independence (Rickwood, Deane, Wilson, & Ciarrochi, 2005). When examining related literature about the university students' problems, they face problems related to adjustment (Gizir, 2005), family (Topkaya & Meydan, 2013), academic issues (Yurtsever, 2009), future related anxiety, job finding (Kaygusuz, 2002), and also on vocational and career related problems, and mental health problems such as depression (Aluede, Imhonde, & Eguavoen, 2006).…”

ÖZETBu makalede proaktif kişiliğin öznel zindelik ile merak arasındaki ilişkide aracılık etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri; Kısaltılmış Proaktif Kişilik Ölçeği, Öznel Zindelik Ölçeği, Merak ve Keşfetme Ölçeği II ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma grubu, Sakarya Üniversitesinde okuyan %77.8'i kadın olan 311 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma grubundaki bireylerin yaş ortalaması 20.3 (SS= 0.42)'tür. Araştırmada proaktif kişilik, öznel zindelik ve merak arasındaki ilişkiler regresyona dayalı aracılık analizi ve korelasyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, test edilmeye çalışılan aracı modeldeki doğrudan ve dolaylı etkiler bootstrap yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda proaktif kişilik ve öznel zindeliğin, merak ile pozitif açıdan ilişkili olduğu ve proaktif kişiliğin öznel zindelik ile merak arasındaki ilişkide aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili literatür bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
