Prevalence of engagement in online challenges among children and youth in institutional care settings
(Hradec Králové : Gaudeamus, 2025) Niklová, Miriam; Slaziníková, Helena
The study aimed to identify and analyse the prevalence of children and young people engaging in online challenges in institutional care settings. The Viral Internet Challenges Scale "VICH-S", aimed at measuring motivation to engage in online challenges (Ortega-Barón et al., 2022) as well as the scale in the EU Kids Online IV in the Slovak Republic (Izrael et al., 2020) were applied to obtain data. The research population consisted of child clients from institutional care aged 10-18 years from the Žilina and Banská Bystrica regions. The results of the research showed an increased level of risk behaviour in child clients attending primary schools. We also found no statistically significant difference between boys and girls engaging in online challenges. The research results indicated that child clients often engaged in online challenges mainly to fit in with a group or collective or to show their courage.
