Traffic accidents are the second leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in Chile. However, few studies have examined this behavior among this age group. Parental practices have a great influence on risk behaviors in adolescents, such as substance use, sexuality and violence, among others. Specifically, we propose that these practices will influence pedestrian risk behaviors among adolescents.
To study the role of parental practices such as mother and father support, and behavioral control (monitoring and presence of rules) in pedestrian risk behaviors of teenagers.
A sample of 470 adolescents attending schools in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile were studied. They answered a self-administered questionnaire in which they were asked about parental practices and pedestrian risk behaviors. Analyses were performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, using multiple regression.
Paternal support and the presence of rules were protective factors for pedestrian risky behaviors. However, maternal support or monitoring did not influence these behaviors.
Parental practices influence pedestrian behaviors of teenagers. The study provides further evidence for the importance of these practices in the development of behavioral self-regulation.
交通事故是智利青少年和青年人群中第二大死因。然而,针对这一年龄段人群的此类行为研究较少。父母的教育方式对青少年的危险行为有很大影响,比如药物使用、性行为和暴力行为等。具体而言,我们认为这些教育方式会影响青少年的行人风险行为。
研究父母的教育方式,如父母的支持以及行为控制(监督和规则的存在)在青少年行人风险行为中的作用。
对智利首都圣地亚哥大都会区470名在校青少年进行了抽样研究。他们回答了一份自填式问卷,问卷中询问了父母的教育方式和行人风险行为。使用描述性和推断性统计方法进行分析,并采用多元回归分析。
父亲的支持和规则的存在是行人危险行为的保护因素。然而,母亲的支持或监督并未影响这些行为。
父母的教育方式会影响青少年的行人行为。该研究进一步证明了这些教育方式在行为自我调节发展中的重要性。
