The Effect Of Parent-child Attachment On Adolescent Risk-taking Behavior

Adolescence is the most special stage in one's life,and it is also a period of high incidence of risk-taking behavior.And compared with children and adults,teenagers have the highest tendency of risk-taking behavior.In order for teenagers to learn and grow happily at this critical stage.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the factors that affect teenagers' risk-taking behavior.At the same time,there are many factors that affect teenagers' risk-taking behavior.In the discussion,previous studies mainly focused on one or more factors of individual and environmental system,so individual emotion and environment have an ineligible influence on adolescent risk-taking behavior.as the core components of these two systems,emotion regulation strategies and parent-child attachment play an important role in the healthy development of adolescent behavior.Therefore,this study will study the emotional and environmental family factors in the personal level,and propose an intermediary model.To explore the mediating effect of emotion regulation strategies between parent-child attachment and adolescent risk-taking behavior.In this study,1143 adolescents were measured,and the parent-child attachment questionnaire was used to investigate the parent-child attachment of adolescents.The Adolescent Emotion Regulation Strategy questionnaire was used to investigate the adolescents' use of emotion regulation strategies.The Adolescent risk-taking behavior questionnaire was used to investigate the possibility of participating in some kind of risk-taking behavior,and the SPSS24.0 software was used for statistical analysis.The main results are as follows:(1)Parent-child attachment has a significant negative correlation with adolescent risk-taking behavior,father attachment has a significant negative correlation with risk-taking behavior,and mother attachment has a significant negative correlation with risk-taking behavior.(2)Parent-child attachment has a significant impact on emotion regulation strategies,there is a significant positive correlation between father attachment and positive emotion regulation strategies,and there is also a significant positive correlation between mother attachment and positive emotion regulation strategies.There was a significant negative correlation between father attachment and negative emotion regulation strategies,and there was also a significant negative correlation between mother attachment and positive emotion regulation strategies.(3)Emotion regulation strategies have a significant impact on risk-taking behavior,positive emotion regulation strategies have a significant positive correlation with risk-taking behavior,and negative emotion regulation strategies have a significant positive correlation with risk-taking behavior.(4)Emotion regulation strategies play an intermediary role between parent-child attachment and adolescent risk-taking behavior.The proportion of intermediary effect in the total effect is 48.79%and 54.27%respectively.(5)In addition,there are significant gender differences in adolescent risk-taking behavior,and the score of male risk-taking behavior is significantly higher than that of female.The score of risk-taking behavior of day students was significantly higher than that of residential students.The score of risk-taking behavior of only child was significantly lower than that of non-only child.In terms of parent-child attachment,the attachment score of mothers of rural students is higher than that of urban students.The attachment score of only-child mother was higher than that of non-only-child,and the father attachment score of residential students was significantly higher than that of day students.To sum up,the conclusions of this study are as follows:(1)High-quality parent-child attachment can reduce the tendency of adolescent risk-taking behavior,which is embodied in that father attachment can reduce the tendency of adolescent risk-taking behavior,while mother attachment can reduce the tendency of adolescent risk-taking behavior.Adopting effective emotion regulation strategies can reduce the tendency of risk-taking behavior,that is,adopting positive emotion regulation strategies can reduce teenagers' risk-taking behavior tendency,while negative emotion regulation strategies will increase teenagers' risk-taking behavior tendency;parent-child attachment can reflect the use of emotion regulation strategies,that is,father attachment and mother attachment will increase the frequency of adolescents using positive regulation strategies.Father attachment and mother attachment will reduce the frequency of teenagers using negative adjustment strategies.(2)Parent-child attachment can improve teenagers' ability of emotion regulation and reduce their tendency of risk-taking behavior.And this study found that there are differences in the risk-taking behavior of the only child.
