Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of adolescents’ risk taking behaviors with parental and peer relations and aggressive behavior. Participants were 429 high school and university students. A part of a project “Risk Taking Scale”, “Adolescent Family Process Measure”, “Parental Management of Peers Inventory”, “Friendship Qualities Scale”, “Aggressive and Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire” and “Aggression Scale” were administered to the students. The results indicated that the risk taking behavior of adolescents was changed according to gender and grade. Also the gender and grade interaction on risk taking behavior scores was signifi cant. Male students’ risk taking scores were higher than females on all grade levels and the frequency of male adolescents’ risk taking behaviors changed with grades. Hierarchical regression analysis results revealed that in high school sample, close and cross-sex friend and in university sample cross-sex friend were negatively predicted risk taking behaviors. The risk taking behaviors of university students was negatively related to mother’s education and positively related to monitoring behaviors of parents. The risk taking behaviors of both high school and university students was positively associated with adolescents’ aggressive behaviors and parent’s prohibition strategies. However parent’s guiding strategies were negatively associated with risk taking. It was shown that positive parental peer management strategies and adolescent’s close friends should protect the adolescent from risky behaviors.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ergenlerin, ebeveyn ve akran ilişkileri ile saldırgan davranışlarının risk alma davranışları ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya lise ve üniversite öğrencisi 429 ergen katılmıştır. Öğrencilere, “Risk Alma Ölçeği”, “Ergen Aile Süreci Ölçeği”, “Ebeveyn Akran Yönetimi Ölçeği”, “Arkadaşlık Niteliği Ölçeği”, “Saldırganlık ve Olumlu Sosyal Davranış Ölçeği” ve “Saldırganlık Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Ergenlerin risk alma davranışlarının, cinsiyete ve sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaştığı, ayrıca ortak etkinin de anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Erkek ergenlerin risk alma davranışları her sınıf düzeyinde farklılaşmakta ve kız ergenlere göre daha yüksek sıklıkta izlenmektedir. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre lise öğrencilerinde yakın ve karşı cinsten arkadaşa, üniversite öğrencilerinde karşı cinsten arkadaşa sahip olma risk alma davranışlarını ters yönde yordamaktadır. Üniversite öğrencilerinde risk alma davranışları, annenin eğitim düzeyi ile pozitif, ebeveynin ergeni gözetimi (izleme) ile negatif yönde ilişkilidir. Hem lise hem de üniversite öğrencilerinde; ebeveynin arkadaş ilişkilerini yasaklaması ve ergenin saldırganlığı, risk alma davranışlarını pozitif yönde; ebeveynin akran ilişkilerine rehberliği ise negatif yönde yordamaktadır. Sonuçlar, ergenlerin akran ilişkilerini yönetmede ebeveynin olumlu stratejiler kullanması ve ergenin yakın arkadaşlarının olmasının ergeni risk alma davranışlarından koruyabildiğini göstermektedir.
