Risky behavior among teenagers is one of the common social harms of today's society. Accordingly, it is very important to deal with the factors affecting it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adolescent conflict with family on high-risk behaviors among high school students. The research method was survey, and the data were obtained using a researcher-made questionnaire from 385 students with the cluster random sampling method. Findings indicated meaningful and positive correlation between adolescent conflict with family (conflict with mother and father) and experience of student risky behavior. Test of theoretical model show that, effect of conflict with family on risky behavior is positive and meaningful (Beta=-0.37). Also, model is fit.)𝑅2 = 0.11).So the more parent -child conflict, the more high risky behavior will be among youths. It is so important to enhance self- treating skills among students and family social skill to prevent risky behavior among youths.

The present research aimed to predict high-risk behaviors based on positive youth development and positive psychological capital in adolescents.

This study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of adolescents in the city of Tehran in 2020, from which 298 people were selected using the convenience sampling method. The tools used in this research included the questionnaires of Iranian adolescents' risk-taking, positive youth development, hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism. Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the dimensions of positive youth development and positive psychological capital were significantly associated with high-risk behaviors and attitude towards substance use in adolescents. The results of the regression analysis also indicated that the components of positive youth development and psychological capital explained 45% of the variance of high-risk behaviors.

According to the obtained results, positive youth development and positive psychological capital (hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism) play an important role in predicting high-risk behaviors in adolescents. Positive youth development and positive psychological capital can reduce the occurrence and continuation of the tendency to high-risk behaviors in adolescents. Therefore, the design of interventions based on the improvement of these characteristics is suggested as a basis for reducing high-risk behaviors in this group of people.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between leisure physical activity and high-risk behaviors with personality mediating role in students of University of Isfahan.

 The research method was descriptive-correlational and in terms of purpose was part of applied research that was conducted in the field. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of University of Isfahan in the academic year 2020-2021(16,563 people) 375 people were selected as a sample by stratified sampling method using the Krejcie and Morgan’s table. A researcher-made checklist of leisure-time physical activity, high-risk behaviors, and personality questionnaires were used to collect data. The validity of the research tools and their reliability (by Cronbach's alpha test) were evaluated. Research data were collected in library and field sections. To analyze the research data, descriptive and inferential statistics was used.

The results showed that high-risk behaviors are less in the leisure time of active students. In addition, with increasing physical activity in leisure time, high-risk behaviors decrease. On the other hand, the more psychotic students are, the more high-risk behaviors are likely to happen. In addition, the separate relationships between leisure-time physical activity and personality with high-risk behaviors were significant.

 However, the results showed that when the personality variable was included in the relationship between leisure physical activity and high-risk behaviors, the relationship between the two variables became insignificant. Therefore, in order to reduce high-risk behaviors among students, it is better for university officials to increase the possibility of students participating in leisure-time physical activities by holding extracurricular sports classes and easy access to sports facilities.

High-risk behaviors following social problems have grown in all societies in different age and sexual groups. These behaviors are intentional and the person has little control over the possible side effects such behaviors, like smoking, alcohol, drugs, psychotropic drugs, and performing early sexual behaviors. The aim of this study was to analyze family-based care and prevention strategies for high-risk behaviors.

This qualitative study has a hermeneutic and constructive-interpretive paradigm and in-depth and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection techniques. To analyze the data, grounded theory method, with open, axial, and selective coding process was used in order to analyze the data and achieve the final theory. The participants included families from Tabriz and sampling was done through purposeful sampling with the participation of 26 families, until the theoretical saturation was achieved.

Families are constantly striving to care for their children so that children are raised away from injury and do not engage in risky behaviors. Findings show that families follow the following triple model to take care of appearing high-risk behaviors: 1. Inefficient care strategy (lacking effective strategy); 2. Impulsive care strategy; 3. Process care strategy.

Care strategies are created, nurtured, and developed under the influence of the thoughts, attitudes, and experiences of all family members. In families that do not have the ability to make decisions to deal with important and long-term issues such as high-risk behaviors, no strategy will be created. Effective care strategies are shaped by education and socialization.

High-risk behaviors in any society are considered as one of the major threats to the health system. Because adolescents are more at risk than other age groups, they are more prone to this type of behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of high-risk social behaviors among adolescent students in Guilan province.

This research was conducted by contextualization method. The statistical population of the study included 182,637 high school students in Guilan province in 1399 (2020), of which 384 were selected as a sample by multi-stage cluster sampling. Zizadeh-Mohammadi and Ahmadabadi’s (2008) risk scale was used to collect the required data. To analyze the data at the descriptive level, frequency statistical methods, graphs and at the inferential level, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Euman-Whitney tests were used. All statistical operations were analyzed by SPSS16 software. The significance level was considered 0.05 for all tests.

Aggressive behaviors, drug use, high-risk driving, relationship with the opposite sex, and sex with the opposite sex were the most common among students, respectively. The results also showed that the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among adolescents did not differ significantly based on their age, gender, educational level and field of study.

Student community is faced with high-risk behaviors and to treat these problems, all the capacities of organizations and professionals, including psychologists and sociologists should be used.

The present study aimed to investigate the experience of female-headed households in the face of high-risk behaviors. The present study is qualitative and phenomenological and the target population includes women heads of households in Kerman who had high-risk behaviors. Of these, 28 participants were selected by purposive sampling; Sampling continued until the researchers reached theoretical saturation; The interview data collection tool is semi-structured. In the present study, the horn polking method has been used for reliability and validity. Findings indicate that factors such as poor family socialization, low social capital, low religiosity, poor financial situation, bad media effects, and feelings of loneliness due to failure of female-headed households to engage in high-risk behaviors have been influential; Also, the lived experiences of women when they had high-risk behaviors showed low social trust, lack of social participation and social alienation among women. One of the suggested solutions for people to get out of high-risk behaviors is social support and social empowerment of women.

Social deviations, especially in women, threaten the health and security of society. For its survival and stability, the society must take appropriate measures to prevent the deviations of delinquent women and measures to rehabilitate them. This is possible only through accurate identification of the underlying factors and aggravating the tendency to deviance. The purpose of this study is the life scenario of street women on their perception of the tendency to prostitution and risky behavior experienced in Khorramabad.

Among the qualitative research methods, the phenomenological method has been used to examine the experience of prostitution. Twelve people were selected by purposive sampling and snowball sampling strategy. In-depth interviews were used to collect data. Content analysis method has been used to analyze the data obtained from phenomenological interviews.

It includes two main themes of perceiving the meanings of the tendency towards immoral relationships (prostitution) and its semantic dimensions. The meaning of semantic perception of the tendency to immoral relationships to the four sub-themes of the way of liberation, the last resort, the negative burden of prostitution, the sense of revenge on the spou

Adolescence is one of the most sensitive periods of life due to sexual maturity. Which requires education and empowerment based on sexual health. According to this. This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of sexual-based empowerment on high-risk behaviors and improving the self-restraint of adolescent girls with irresponsible parents, aged between 12-18 years old, in the wellness center of the East-Azarbaijan province. The research-based on the quasi method with pretest-posttest experimental design and includes a control group as well. The statistical population of this research was all the adolescent girls with irresponsible parents, aged between 12-18 years old, in the year 2018. This population reached up to 82 individuals selected from two separate children and adolescent centers, of whom 30 adolescent girls were selected purposefully and assigned to two groups of control (including 15 individuals) and experiment (including 15 individuals). The questionnaires were first delivered to adolescent girls, and then they underwent the training of sexual-based empowerment for a duration of 8 sessions. On the contrary, the control group was not exposed to the aforementioned training steps. To collect the data, three questionnaires from sexual abstinence (Jaffari 2007), high-risk behaviors (Gullone& Moore 2000), and high-risk behavior control systems (Zadeh Mohammad & Ahmad-Abadi 2008) were utilized. The data analysis was carried out by using the statistical approach of covariance analysis. The results of the study indicated that the education of the sexual-based empowerment had a significant effect (p<0.05) on high-risk behaviors and its parameters as well as on the sexual self-restraint of the adolescence. According to the findings of this research, it concluded that sexual health education of adolescents with irresponsible parents due to their psychological problems in the wellness center could play a crucial role in reducing the high-risk behaviors as well as increasing self-restraint against sexual problems.

Family-Based Care & Preventive Strategies in Front of High-Risk BehaviorsAbstract:In recent decades, high-risk behaviors in all societies and in different age and sex groups have grown exponentially. Families are constantly striving to care for their children so that children are raised away from injury and do not engage in risky behaviors. High-risk behaviors are behaviors that are intentional and the person has little control over the possible side effects, such as smoking, alcohol, drugs, psychotropic drugs, and performing early sexual behaviors. The aim of this study was to analysis family-based care and prevention strategies for high-risk behaviors. This study has a hermenutic and constructive-interpretive paradigm and in terms of basis, qualitative research and data collection technique, in-depth and semi-structured interviews. To analyze the data, grounded theory method, with open, axial and selective coding process has been used in order achieve the final theory. The universe included families from Tabriz and sampling was done through purposeful sampling and with the participation of 26 families, theoretical saturation was achieved. Findings show that families follow the following triple model to take care of appearing high-risk behaviors: 1. Inefficient care strategy (lacking effective strategy); 2. Impulsive care strategy; 3. Process care strategy.

The aim of this study was to develop an integrated psychotherapy model based on religious-psychological teachings with Islamic approach and evaluate its effectiveness on reducing the tendency to high-risk behaviors (tendency to use alcohol, drug, and cigarette) in adolescents.

The present study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included all male high school students who were studying in Ardabil in the academic year 2017-2018. First, 200 students were selected by multi-stage random sampling method and then 30 students with high-risk behaviors determined by the Iranian adolescentschr('39') risk scale were selected according to the exclusion and inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned into the experimental group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). For the experimental group, the educational program designed based on religious-psychological teachings was held for ten 60-minute sessions and the control group did not receive any intervention. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that education based on religious-psychological teachings reduced significantly the tendency to high-risk behaviors in adolescents.

Integrative psychotherapy based on religious-psychological teachings with Islamic approach is an effective and efficient intervention in reducing adolescentschr('39') tendency to high-risk behaviors common in this age group, especially the use of alcohol, drug, and cigarette.

Due to some features and extensive developments of this period, there is a possibility of high-risk behaviors by adolescents. Accordingly, recognizing high-risk behaviors and how to express them is important. The aim of this study was to identify what and how high-risk behaviors in adolescents engaged in high-risk behaviors.

The method of this research was qualitative and phenomenological, which described what and how adolescentschr('39') life experiences. The study population was 15- to 18-year-old adolescents in Sanandaj with a current and past history of high-risk behaviors. Data were collected through convenience sampling method and in-depth interviews with 14 people (8 boys and 6 girls) and were analyzed using descriptive phenomenological analysis.

The analysis of participantschr('39') experiences in the "what" section of high-risk behaviors led to the identification of two main themes (harming and norm-breaking) and five sub-themes (personal injury, family injury, social harm, legal norms and religious values) as well as in the "areas of high-risk behaviors" section led to the identification of three main themes (individual, family and social factors) and twelve sub-themes (excitement, curiosity, hedonism, courage, family turmoil, the absence of a parent, a history of risky behavior in the family, parental neglect, the role of friends, lack of motivation, limited environmental happiness and media influence).

Based on the life experiences of adolescents engaged in high-risk behaviors, a combination of several factors together causes high-risk behaviors by adolescents. This study involves important topics for counselors, teachers and officials of educational institutions and families.

The purpose of this study was to relationship between attachment styles and self-control with high-risk behaviors among female students’ high schools of Tehran city.The descriptive-correlation method was used. The statistical population consists of all the female students’ high school east of city in year academic 2017-2018 to 82099 female students. In this study, according toCochran formula, 382 female students were selected as samples. Multistage sampling method was used in this research and they were asked to fill in the high-risk behavior scale of Niazi, Abbaszadeh and Saadati (2017), adult attachment scaleCollins & Read (1990) and self‐control scale of Tangney, Baumeister and Boone (2004). The data were analyzed by tests of Pearson correlation and multivariate regression by enter method. Findings showed that there was significant correlation between early maladaptive schemas with critical thinking(P<0/01). There was a negative and significant correlation between difficulties in emotion regulation with critical thinking(P<0/01). There was a positive and significant correlation between attachment styles and self-control with high-risk behaviors (P<0/01). Regression analyses also revealed that 70% of variance of high-risk behaviors was explained byattachment styles and self-control. Based on the results of the present study on the predictive power of attachment styles and self-control in high-risk behaviors in adolescent girls in order to prevent high risk behaviors among adolescent girls, it is recommended to conductinterventional research projects to train parents on the problematic areas.

The current study investigates the level of the student’s high-risk behaviors and measures Family and educational factors affecting it in High school girl students of second course in district two of Kerman city for academic year 1397-1398. Family function and school atmosphere is considered as social and educational variable respectively. The statistical population of the study is consisted of 4309 people out of which 353 are selected as sample by cluster and a simple random sampling method. The statistical analysis was performed using Spss23 and Amoss Graph22 software. The Study used the theories of McMaster, Furtwengier and Wolfgang and Gilman. The results indicated that the variable of emotional responsiveness and behavior control in the family (with standardized regression coefficients 0.380 and 0.300) had the highest indirect effective coefficient with high risk behaviors of girl students respectively. On the other hand, there is the highest direct and reverse coefficient (-0.341) between variable of behavior control in the family and high-risk behaviors. Consequently, according to the results, the rate of student’s high-risk behaviors was low and school and family had a high impact on reducing high-risk behaviors

High-risk behaviors among young people are one of the most important health and social issues in today's societies that affect the individual, family and society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between using virtual networks and the tendency for high risk behaviors among the students of Maneh and Semlagh city. The survey method is used to conduct this research. The statistical population of the study consisted of all male high school students of Maneh and Somalegan who were studying in the academic year of 2017-2018. 103 students were selected from three schools using multistage cluster random sampling. The used research tools were including Keyes and Magyarmo (2003) subjective well-being questionnaire and Talebi Virtual Networks Questionnaire (2015). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation method. Based on the analysis of the findings in the results section, the main hypothesis of the research, there is a significant relationship between the use of virtual networks and the tendency toward high-risk behaviors of students (emotional well-being, psychological well-being and social well-being), was confirmed. Therefore, it is suggested that educational workshops should be conducted on how to use virtual networks by families and cultural and educational institutions to prevent mental health problems and promote adolescent health and provide adequate information to reduce social harms.

The identification of effective components in preventing the progress of high-risk behaviors and its persistence. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation in relation to spirituality and high-risk behaviors among adolescents with addicted parent(s). A correlation research method along with structural equation was employed in this study. The research population consisted of adolescents with addicted parents who had presented to clinics and addiction treatment camps under the protection of State Welfare Organization of Isfahan in 2016. A sample of 225 units (134 males and 91 females) was selected via convenience sampling. The research instruments for data collection were Spiritual Orientation Questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Scale, and Risk-taking Scale of Iranian Adolescents. Spirituality had a positive correlation with positive and adaptive emotion regulation and was negatively correlated with negative and maladaptive emotion regulation. Spirituality had also a negative relationship with high-risk behavior. The results of structural pattern showed that spirituality has an indirect effect on high-risk behaviors under the mediation of emotion regulation. Spirituality promotes the prevention of high-risk behaviors by directly affecting adaptive and positive emotion regulation.

In recent decades we have experienced an increase in university students’ population that unfortunately presents them with a prevalence of high-risk behaviors and social deviances which is equal to misspending the society’s innovative and constituent potential that needs a lot of expenditures to deal with its undesirable complications. The aim of this study is to clarify frequencies of recognizability, geographical emphases and medicalization analyses on high-risk behaviors of Cigarette, Alcoholic Drinks and Drug Abuse among university students in Iran through a systematic review. The working method is a systematic review of available researches about this kind of high-risk behaviors during 1991 to 2016 via electronic searches in databases like “Elmnet, Irandoc, Magiran, and SID” for quantitative researches with student’s sample. Finally, 49 researches have entered the analysis and have shown an increasing trend of these behaviors among students. In addition, there was prevalence among these provinces: Southern Khorasan, Kermanshah, Kerman, Khuzestan, Tehran, Golestan, Mazandaran, Semnan and Hamedan. Medical and descriptive analyses in Medical universities have been dominating the majority of researches in Iran. So, there is a lack of sociological explanations in this area that we need to survey more accurately and deeply to explain the sociological side of these problems. We need to focus our interventions on remedial and preventative procedures on the provinces with high rates of cigarette, alcoholic and drug abuse among students.

Cyberspace allows individuals with common interests to find each other, interact and associate, and learn and reinforce behaviors that are as abnormal and risky. This space takes away the time, place, and social constraints governing the behavior and association of individuals, and it is unclear how much these virtual interactions affect the high-risk behaviors of the youths. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the individuals' association with cyberspace with high-risk behaviors in cyberspace and real life. In terms of its purpose this study is of an applied research type, and the study has been conducted with quantitative approach and survey method. A sample of 400 students from Shiraz University was selected using stratified sampling method and completed the questionnaire. The validity of the research was confirmed using face validity method and reliability of the scales was obtained using Cronbach's alpha test. Inferential findings show that there is a positive and significant correlation between the use of mobile phones, Internet and ultimately association in cyberspace and high-risk behaviors in cyberspace and real life. Also, multivariate regression analysis indicated that the association variable in cyberspace explains 37% of the variance of risky behaviors in cyberspace and real life. Cyberspace is not only an area for learning high-risk behaviors but also an environment for their emergence; the impact of cyber associations on risky behaviors (cyber and real life) is more than the companions in real space. The findings of this study point to the necessity of reviewing differential association theory with respect to the emerging cyber environment, and on the other hand, the need to pay more attention and supervision of families and law enforcement officials in preventing the harm and the risks of cyberspace.
