积极同伴压力、自尊对青少年不同冒险行为的影响

该研究基于问题行为理论,采用问卷法对普通高中、中职院校689名青少年学生进行调查,探讨了积极同伴压力、自尊对青少年不同冒险行为的影响及其交互作用和学校差异。结果表明:(1)中职院校生的积极同伴压力和冒险行为都显著高于普通高中生;(2)积极同伴压力不能预测青少年的适应不良冒险行为,但可显著预测普通高中生的社会可接受冒险行为;(3)自尊可显著负向预测青少年的适应不良冒险行为,显著正向预测普通高中生的社会可接受冒险行为;(4)自尊仅可以调节普通高中生的积极同伴压力与社会可接受冒险行为的关系:高自尊增强了高积极同伴压力对青少年社会可接受冒险行为的影响;但它不能调节无论哪所学校青少年的积极同伴压力与适应不良冒险行为的关系。

The Relationships between Positive Peer Pressure and Self-Esteem and Various Risk-Taking Behaviors of Adolescents

Based on problem-behavior theory, the present study carried out a series of questionnaires answered by 689 teenager students in a general high school and a secondary vocational school in order to explore the relationships between positive peer pressure and self-esteem and various risk-taking behaviors of adolescents, and their differences between schools as well. As the results showed, 1) compared with high school students, adolescents of the secondary vocational school perceived more positive peer pressure and reported more risk-taking behaviors; 2) the relationship between positive peer pressure and maladaptive risk-taking behaviors of adolescents was not obvious in either school, whereas the association of positive peer pressure with socially acceptable risk-taking behaviors was positive and significant among high school students; 3) adolescents' self-esteem was negatively associated with their maladaptive risk-taking behaviors in either school significantly, while it was obviously only positively linked to socially acceptable risk-taking behaviors among high school students; 4) self-esteem only strengthened the relationship between high school students' positive peer pressure and their socially acceptable risk-taking behaviors in that high self-esteem increased the socially acceptable behaviors among high positive peer pressure students; but it couldn't moderate the relationship between adolescents' positive peer pressure and maladaptive risk-raking behavior in either school.
