Volunteer Tourism is becoming a popular topic in the travel literature. These experiences combine the adventure of travel with opportunities to serve the communities visited. This burgeoning field of tourism may provide an attractive outlet for generating positive developmental assets and for encouraging future civic engagement. This paper highlights a study which explored the relationship of wisdom and social capital and also discussed the influence of a voluntourism experience on wisdom and social capital domains. The sample consisted of 68 high school youth from the various high schools in Illinois. Results indicate that wisdom and social capital are positively and significantly related. In addition, wisdom and social capital indicators increased significantly over the course of the experience.

This study examines the impact of early substance use on school completion. From a life-course perspective, early deviance can interrupt adolescent development, including education. Studies have cited substance use in early adolescence as a risk factor for school dropout; however, few studies examine the relationship with diverse samples. Using longitudinal data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, we examine the impact of early alcohol and drug use on high school completion relative to other risk factors for Latino, White, and African American males. Once family, school, and life events are considered, early alcohol and drug use exerts an independent influence on the failure to complete high school for White and African American males. Among Latino males, the relationship between early use and school completion appears to be mediated by impregnating a partner

Previous research has established a link between childhood sexual abuse and engaging in prostitution as an adult. The purpose of this study was to extend this literature by exploring whether being raped as an adult is associated with exchanging sex for money. Interviews with 102 rape survivors in a major metropolitan area revealed that 23.5% had engaged in prostitution post-rape. Those who had exchanged sex for money were more likely to be women of color, to have a high school education or less, to be unemployed, and to have children to support, than those who had not engaged in prostitution post-assault. The prostitution subsample also had significantly higher levels of psychological distress, physical health symptomatology, and substance use. Survivors were asked whether and how the rape was associated with engaging in prostitution: most (75%) stated that they felt it was related to the assault. The most commonly cited reason for engaging in prostitution by these survivors was that they were trying to regain some control over their lives and their bodies; exchanging sex for money was seen as one way to control men’s access to them. Implications for future research on victimization and prostitution are discussed.

Este trabajo se centra en la relación existente entre los factores de protección y resiliencia, la autorregulación y el consumo de sustancias legales e ilegales en un grupo de 215 adolescentes de Enseñanza Secundaria de Felgueiras (Portugal). Los resultados obtenidos permiten verificar la relación existente entre el consumo de drogas y algunos factores de protección y resiliencia, pero no se encuentra una relación significativa con la autorregulación en la mayoría de los casos de consumo, a excepción del “control de impulsos”, que es mayor y estadísticamente significativo enlos alumnos que no consumen cocaína, crack u otros tipos de drogas. A pesar de la falta de relación significativa entre la autorregulación y el consumo de drogas, algunos indicadores permiten inferir la importancia de este concepto, que fue reforzada por la correlación encontrada entre la autorregulación y los factores de resiliencia. Podemos afirmar, por lo tanto, que la relación entre la autorregulación y el consumo están mediadas por otras variables, dada su importancia en la explicación de la resiliencia.  Abstract This work focuses on the relationship between protective factors and resiliency, self-regulation and the legal and illegal substance use in a group of 215 adolescents from High School (Felgueiras, Portugal) level. The results allow us to verify a relationship between substance use and some resiliency and protective factors but weren’t found a meaningful relation with self-regulation in the majority of the substance use type. Excepts the "Impulse control”, that favors those individuals who do not experiment cocaine, crack or other drugs. Despite the lack of relationship between self-regulation and most of substance use, some interesting tips allow us to infer the importance of this concept, which was strengthened by the moderate correlation between self-regulation and resilience factors. However, the relationship between self-regulation and consumer can be mediated by other variables, given its importance in the explanation of resilience.
