Transformation of Social Tension Through Reality Quests
Transformation of Social Tension Through Reality Quests

Summary/Abstract: Reality quests are becoming very popular, especially among young people, who want to get freedom, leadership and independence. Hence this phenomenon should be studied from sociological and psychological point of view. Under constant stress it is necessary to examine the ability to transform it into constructive, socially approved channels. Quests can help people fulfill their desire to be free and independent. When people participate in such social practices, they socialize and become more stable when faced with stress. In the paper the authors tried to prove the positive impact of quests on people, i.e. adaptation to modern way of life, a sort of training to prepare for stressful situations. We consider the quests, taking into account their importance in everyday life, influence on the processes of socialization and adaptation at different levels: individual, group, and society.
