tivnosti se uvrščajo dejavnosti, kjer mladi participirajo znotraj sistema, ki
zajema omejitve, pravila in cilje; pogosto po nadzorom oz. organizacijo od-
raslih, kar pa sicer ni nujno (sem se med drugim prišteva tudi hobije).5 Ve-
čina študij se pri ugotavljanju vpliva prostočasovnih dejavnosti osredoto-
ča predvsem na znotrajšolske (interesne) dejavnosti.6 Participacija v le-teh
je povezana s številnimi dimenzijami pozitivnega razvoja mladostnika.7
Konkretneje, učenci, ki participirajo v znotrajšolskih dejavnostih, ima-
jo višjo povprečno oceno,8 manjše tveganje nedokončanja šolanja,9 manj
pogosto izostajajo od pouka,10 nižjo stopnjo šolske deviantnosti11 ter deli-
kventnosti.12 Nadalje, osnovnošolska participacija tudi pozitivno napove-
duje nadaljevanje šolanja na fakulteti.13

V drugih raziskavah so preučeni tudi vplivi izvenšolskih prostočasov-
