Advantage or disadvantage of deepaolk or tihar
Answers
Answer:
For example, among the 632 respondents who spoke of going to a family member or partner, the most commonly mentioned advantages of this were :
such a person was likely to be sympathetic or accepting (50%)
this person was likely to be able to understand or relate to the situation or problem (43%)
this person would know what to do (40%).
There was age variation on this last response, with 18-20 year olds significantly more likely than the average to say that a family member would know what to do (45%), and 21-24 year olds less likely than the average to say this (29%).
Of the respondents who said that they would talk to a friend their own age, two-thirds (65%) said that it would be an advantage that the friend would be able to relate to the situation. While 44% thought a friend would be sympathetic, only 21% said s/he would know what to do. There were no significant gender, age or geographic differences in this regard.
Among those respondents who said that they would talk to an older friend, three main advantages were commonly cited: sympathetic - 40%; know what to do - 41%; and can relate to the situation - 46%.
Among the respondents who mentioned talking to a local doctor or GP, most said that an advantage of this was that the doctor would know what to do (83%). An other advantage was that a GP would keep the matter confidential (23%).
Disadvantages
Those respondents who stated they would use a particular sort of person as a source of help were also asked what the disadvantages of this approach would be; responses are again summarised
Overall, fewer respondents identified disadvantages than advantages. Because of there being generally lower response to this part of the question, there were fewer obvious differences among sub-groups of respondents.
For the most common course of action, talking to a family member or partner, the disadvantages most often identified were that the other person might become upset or that s/he might not be able to relate to the problem. It was also said that discussing such an issue might be difficult or embarrassing.
Among the 396 young people who said that they would talk to a friend their own age, relatively large numbers identified possible disadvantages in doing so. The disadvantage most often mentioned (40%) was the risk of breaches of confidentiality; people in the 14-17 age group in particular were concerned about this. Twenty-six per cent noted that such a friend may not have adequate knowledge (females were more likely than males to mention this - 30% vs 21%). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander respondents raised the issue of confidentiality (48%), and also mentioned possible lack of interest or sympathy (33%).
Of those 224 respondents who said they would talk to an older friend, few identified disadvantages. The most often mentioned disadvantage (11%) was the risk of the person not keeping the matter confidential. Non-metropolitan respondents in particular mentioned this (17%, as against 7% of metropolitan respondents).
