Adolescence is often positioned as a particularly vulnerable period for reading motivation and engagement, both for academic reading and reading for pleasure. However, closer scrutiny of the literature reveals a much more nuanced pattern of changing interest, attitude, and motivation for reading during adolescence. Despite this, there is a distinct lack of research that explores the barriers adolescents' face to reading for pleasure from the perspectives of adolescents themselves. Working with a Young People's Advisory Panel, peer- and adult-led interviews were carried out with 46 adolescents (13–15 years old) from six high schools. Six themes were identified from the thematic analysis, reflecting adolescents' perceptions of the barriers to their reading for pleasure: (1) access; (2) mismatch between provision and needs; (3) social factors; (4) reading experiences in school; (5) reading affect; and (6) time and competing activities. This article makes a novel and significant contribution to the limited literature on reading for pleasure during adolescence and provides important qualitative insights for researchers and educational practitioners interested in supporting adolescents' reading motivation.

青少年对快乐阅读障碍的看法


青春期通常被认为是阅读动机和参与度特别脆弱的时期，无论是学术阅读还是娱乐阅读。然而，对文献的更仔细的审视揭示了青春期阅读兴趣、态度和动机的更微妙的变化模式。尽管如此，仍明显缺乏从青少年自身角度探讨青少年在享受阅读乐趣时面临的障碍的研究。我们与年轻人咨询小组合作，对来自六所高中的 46 名青少年（13-15 岁）进行了由同伴和成人主导的访谈。主题分析确定了六个主题，反映了青少年对快乐阅读障碍的看法：(1) 获取途径； （二）供给与需求不匹配； （三）社会因素； （四）在校读书经历； (5)阅读影响； (6)时间和竞赛活动。本文对关于青春期快乐阅读的有限文献做出了新颖且重大的贡献，并为有兴趣支持青少年阅读动机的研究人员和教育从业者提供了重要的定性见解。
