Le jeu du foulard pourrait-il conduire de l'ordalie à l'addiction ?

The choking game can take place at break time in the schoolyard, at the adolescent's home or in other places. It is one of the new risky behaviors observed among teenagers. The study focused on the ordeal aspect of the "game" and the risk of becoming addicted to it. The sample included ten 13-15 year-old Secondary students (5 boys; 5girls) who admitted taking part in choking game. Data were collected using a directive interview covering several components: awareness of the danger associated with the game, associated self-relaxing characteristics, risk as it is evaluated by the adolescent, possible dependence, experienced anxiety, body image and narcissistic traits.
