The Prevalence of Online High-Risk Phenomena in University Students
The Prevalence of Online High-Risk Phenomena in University Students

Summary/Abstract: The following paper focuses on the phenomenon of risk behaviour, which is particularly associated with young people and is perceived as potentially damaging to the biopsychosocial health of individuals behaving in a risky fashion, or as a potential danger to the integrity of their immediate social environment. In a strict sense, the paper endeavours to characterise issues regarding risk phenomena online/in cyberspace, which have become prominent and may be viewed as analogous to real world risk phenomena. The contribution also contains the results of a pilot screening of university students’ online risk behaviour, which focused primarily on general categories of risk behaviour (rather than the individual risk phenomena within these categories).
