Are teenagers a problem that has been surfacing in recent years? No, it is a typical saying of every adult generation.
Here is an example from a seminar held in 1965, 56 years ago, during the 1st World Congress of Sport Psychology.
Sport and psycho-social integration
in Proceedings, Roma, 1965
Topic: Progressive maladaptation of young at the development of our society. In a period typically social, the anti-social character of young is growing up.
Main themes: Adolescents are under pressure by the tension between speed of knowledge, pleasure to consume and fast exploitation of the things and the delay to have a stable professional and economical position in the society
Sport roles
- Break the psycho-social boarders
- Allow the personal realization
- Permit to play a relevant social function
- Determine the dialogue with the other generations
- Allow a collective affirmation at regards of the authoritarian society, as positive actors of the society
