This thesis explores the relationship between group dynamics and alcohol use during adolescence, with a particular focus on the role of peer pressure. Adolescence is a crucial stage of development during which the peer group plays a central role in identity formation and the adoption of specific behaviors. Among these, alcohol consumption stands out as one of the most widespread and dangerous practices, often linked to the desire for belonging, social acceptance, or imitation. The factors that promote or hinder alcohol use in adolescent contexts are analyzed, highlighting how peer pressure can function both as a risk factor and, in some cases, as a protective one. Finally, the main prevention strategies are examined, with a focus on interventions aimed at strengthening adolescents' relational and decision-making skills, promoting greater awareness of group dynamics and risky behaviors.
La presente tesi indaga il legame tra le dinamiche di gruppo e l’uso di alcol in adolescenza, ponendo particolare attenzione al ruolo esercitato dalla pressione dei pari. L’adolescenza è una fase cruciale dello sviluppo, durante la quale il gruppo dei coetanei assume un ruolo centrale nella costruzione dell’identità e nella messa in atto di specifici comportamenti. Tra questi, il consumo di alcol rappresenta una delle pratiche più pericolose e diffuse, spesso associata al desiderio di appartenenza, accettazione sociale o emulazione. Vengono analizzati i fattori che favoriscono o ostacolano l’uso di alcol nei contesti adolescenziali, mettendo in luce come la peer pressure possa agire sia come elemento di rischio sia, in alcuni casi, come fattore protettivo. Infine, vengono esaminate le principali strategie di prevenzione, con un focus sugli interventi volti a rafforzare le competenze relazionali e decisionali degli adolescenti, promuovendo una maggiore consapevolezza rispetto alle dinamiche di gruppo e ai comportamenti a rischio.

Abstract
This thesis explores the relationship between group dynamics and alcohol use during adolescence, with a particular focus on the role of peer pressure. Adolescence is a crucial stage of development during which the peer group plays a central role in identity formation and the adoption of specific behaviors. Among these, alcohol consumption stands out as one of the most widespread and dangerous practices, often linked to the desire for belonging, social acceptance, or imitation. The factors that promote or hinder alcohol use in adolescent contexts are analyzed, highlighting how peer pressure can function both as a risk factor and, in some cases, as a protective one. Finally, the main prevention strategies are examined, with a focus on interventions aimed at strengthening adolescents' relational and decision-making skills, promoting greater awareness of group dynamics and risky behaviors.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
