Attitudes of Grammar School Students to Selected Lifestyle Risk Factors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper describes the results of a research study of the attitudes of Czech grammar school students to concepts associated with negative and positive lifestyle aspects. The research method was a modified semantic differential. The semantic differential was optimized and a factor analysis was used to determine the final two-factor structure. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine reliability r=0.76. The research sample comprised 279 students of various types of grammar schools. Their attitudes by gender were compared by means of the t-test and Mann-Whitney U-Test. Statistically significant differences in both factors (evaluation and energy) were observed in the following concepts: friendship, stress, health, physical activity, dependence on technologies, and healthy lifestyle. Female students perceived most concepts as more difficult than male students, particularly the concept of stress. Among male students, the following concepts were evaluated more positively: risky sexual behaviour, drugs and alcohol. A comparison of students’ attitudes by year of study was performed by means of the ANOVA analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, and suggested statistically significant differences in all concepts (p=0.02). The greatest differences were found in the concepts of physical activity and drugs. It was also observed that students’ attitudes were affected by the type of grammar school. In this context, the ANOVA analysis of variance suggested statistically significant differences (p&lt;0.01). The greatest difference (in both factors) was found in the concept of friendship, which students from a church grammar school considered better and more difficult in terms of energy.
