The Relationship Between Parental Psychological Control And Risk-taking Behavior Among High School Students

Adolescence is a period of coexistence of risk and opportunity.At this time,the demand for world exploration is increasing,but at the same time,their risk assessment ability is weak,so their risk-taking behavior is increasing and reaching a peak.These risk-taking behaviors will not only damage their physical and cognitive functions,but also bring negative effects and even safety problems to people and society around them.Environment is of great significance to the development of teenagers,among which the most microcosmic and basic is family environment.As one of the family environment factors,parents' psychological control has a negative impact on the development of teenagers.In addition,the individual's own characteristics and peer interaction will also affect the behavior development of adolescents.Therefore,the purpose of this study is to explore the influence mechanism of parents' psychological control,sensation seeking and deviant peer affiliation on high school students' risk-taking behavior from the perspective of family,self and peer,so as to provide effective suggestions for the prevention and control of adolescents' risk-taking behavior.In this study,560 senior high school students in an autonomous region were investigated by using adolescent risk-taking behavior questionnaire,parents' psychological control questionnaire,sensation seeking scale for primary and secondary school students and deviant peer affiliation questionnaire.503 valid questionnaires were collected.After analyzing the valid data,we found that:(1)Boys' risk-taking behavior,parents' psychological control,sensation seeking and their total scores,as well as the scores of deviant peer affiliation are significantly higher than girls;students in senior one and senior two have significant differences in sensation seeking and risk-taking behavior,and there is no significant difference between parents' psychological control and deviant peer affiliation;in academic performance variables,the differencesare shown in parents' psychological control,deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking In terms of behavior,there was a significant difference in disinhibition of sensation seeking,but not between excitement and adventure seeking;in terms of subject type variables,there was a significant difference in the dimensions of sensation seeking disinhibition and the total score of each dimension,deviant peer affiliation and adventure behavior,but no significant difference in excitement and adventure seeking,and parental psychological control.(2)The total scores of all dimensions and dimensions of parental psychological control,sensory seeking,the overall situation of deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking behavior were lower than the median of variable theory;parental psychological control was significantly positively correlated with all variables;sensory seeking was moderately positively correlated with deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking behavior;There is a positive correlation between deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking behavior,and a positive correlation between deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking behavior.(3)In addition to risk-taking behavior,parental psychological control can significantly predict high school students' sense seeking and deviant peer affiliation;sense seeking positively predicts deviant peer affiliation and risk-taking behavior;risk-taking behavior is positively predicted by deviant peer affiliation.(4)Sensation seeking and deviant peer affiliation play a completely mediating role in parents' psychological control and senior high school students' risk-taking behavior,and the chain mediating effect is established,that is,parents' psychological control affects students' sensation seeking characteristics and then affects students' deviant peer affiliation and finally affects students' risk-taking behavior.
