pc4youth: Selective Prevention for Socially Disadvantaged Adolescents

2010, 62-74

Summary: The present study concerns the evaluation of a selective prevention program for socially disadvantaged adolescents. The program is based upon the principles of tutorial learning. Ostensibly, it aims at the adolescents’ computer skills. The program combines economic and psychological principles in order to initiate turning points. The results demonstrate that training and control group did not differ at the beginning. The participation as a tutee did not enhance the adolescents’ overall subjective well-being, but the univariate analyses revealed an improvement in self-esteem and joy in life. Taking the tutor’s role did not provoke further improvements. In addition, being a tutor caused an increase in adaptive attribution of achievement, which was not affected by being tutee. The results are discussed on the basis of Rutter’s turning-point concept.

Keywords: Personality development, digital divide, social disadvantage, selective prevention, subjective well-being
