“It was my beginning to drugs criminality and parties” : A thematic analysis of how capital and habitus manifests in adolescents’ stories about dysfunctional conditions in child- and early adulthood (English)
Abstract [sv]

Ungdomar som har ett avvikande beteende har uppmärksammats alltmer på senare tid. Det finns ett stort omfång av forskning att tillgå som har identifierat olika riskfaktorer under uppväxten som påverkar att ungdomar utvecklas ogynnsam. Denna studie grundar sig i Bourdieus teori om socialt-, kulturellt -, ekonomiskt-, och symboliskt kapital och habitus. Studien har som syfte att undersöka ungdomars berättelser om problematiska uppväxtförhållanden och hur kapital formar ungdomars habitusoch påverkar deras livsstilsval. Resultatet bygger på en tematisk analys av 56 berättelser skrivna av ungdomar och har identifierat tre teman. Det första temat Problematiska uppväxtförhållanden behandlar hemförhållanden och vänners betydelse. Det andra temat En annan syn på världen består av attityder och normer som ungdomarna tar till sig i olika sammanhang. Slutligen är det tredje temat Vi gör allt för pengar och behandlar socioekonomisk utsatthet i hemmet samt införskaffandet av materiella tillgångar. Resultatet indikerar att kapital hos ungdomar har påverkan på deras utformande av habitus och att ungdomarnas habitus följer med och reproduceras oavsett vilket socialt sammanhang de befinner sig i. Familj och vänner har i studiens påvisats vara av särskild betydelse för huruvida ungdomarna utvecklar ett avvikande beteende. Genom att förstå ungdomars berättelser utifrån kapital och habitus bidrar denna studie med ett alternativt sätt att förhålla sig till riskfaktorer under uppväxten. Till följd av att tillämpa Bourdieus teori identifierade studien även att det fortfarande finns strukturerade ojämlikheter i samhället som reproduceras genom ungdomars handlingar. 

Abstract [en]

In the last few years, a lot of attention has been paid to adolescents with deviant behaviour. Various risk factors during child- and early adulthood is one of the most widely studied constructs for identifying reasons of what might affect adolescents to develop a deviant behaviour. The foundation of this thesis is based on Bourdieu's theory of capitaland habitus and the purpose is to examine adolescents’ stories about dysfunctional conditions in child- and early adulthood to understand how capital creates habitus. In addition, this thesis aims to explore if adolescents’ habitus influences their lifestyle opportunities. The data obtained was conducted by 56 stories written by adolescents and the result is based on a thematic analysis and has identified three themes. The first theme, Dysfunctional conditions in child- and early adulthood, dealswith family situation and the importance of friends. The second theme, A different perspective of the world, consists of attitudes and norms adolescents embraces in different social contexts. Finally, the third theme, We do everything for money, deals with socioeconomic vulnerability in the home as well as the acquisition of material assets. This thesis indicates that the capital of adolescents influences their development of habitus and enlighten the fact that it seems like habitus follows and reproduces regardless of the social context in which the adolescents find themselves. Apart from this result, it was further noted that family and friends has shown to be of considerable importance for whether adolescents develop deviant behaviour or not. These findings suggest an alternative way of relating to risk factors during adolescence by applying Bourdieu’s theory of capitaland habitus.  Aside from this, the result also demonstrates that there are still structured inequalities in society which reproduces through the actions of adolescents.
