The Prevalence of Online High-Risk Phenomena in University Student

Abstract

The following paper is focused on a risk behaviour phenomenon which is connected to the young people and is perceived as a way of damaging biopsychosocial health of an individual behaving in a risky fashion, or as a potential danger for the health of the individual’s closest social environment. In a strict sense, it endeavours to characterise issues regarding risk phenomena in cyberspace which have assumed prevalence and may be viewed as analogous to the risk phenomena of the real world. The contribution also contains the results of a pilot screening of university students online risk behaviour whose particularity resides in, above all, the evaluation of individual categories of risk behaviour, not in specific risk phenomena.
