A Study on the Refusal Behavior of Defending Rights in High School Students' Daily Social Activities and Its Impact

Abstract

At the senior secondary school level, young people's growing maturity should also lead to an increased awareness of their own rights and interests. However, in reality, many high school students exhibit an inadequate understanding of their rights and are slow to assert themselves when their interests are violated. To thoroughly investigate this phenomenon, this study distributed paper questionnaires among randomly selected participants and conducted a detailed data analysis. After reviewing relevant literature and analysing questionnaire data, the authors concluded that high school students are not accustomed to asserting their rights through refusal. The lack of awareness is attributed to two primary factors: firstly, the impact of students' family education on their willingness to exercise refusal rights, and secondly, the challenge posed by the influence of social circles and moral persuasion. Furthermore, the majority of high school pupils voiced apprehension regarding the possible aftermaths of declining. The data collected by the authors showed that 80% of the students who engaged in refusal behaviours used mild or indirect strategies.
