INTERNALISED AND EXTERNALISED DISORDER FROM THE ASPECT OF FREE TIME

Abstract

A well-organized free time at children and youth can prevent or ease the occurence of serious behavioural disoders and ensure a quality use of free time. The aim of the research is to examine if a well-organized free time has impact on the oc - curence of internalised and externalised disorders. The research starts with the assumption that students whose free time is organized have less intensity of exposure of some types of internalised and externalised behavioural disorders. The sample consists of 230 primary and secondary school finishing class students, both sex, aged 14-19 years old. The re - search was conducted at the area of the city of Tuzla. The Scale of self assessment of the youth was used in the research. The results show that students who do not spend a well-organized free time expose the following types of internalised and externalised disorders: anxiety, somatic issues without a clear medical cause, violation of rules at home and school.
