The escalating prevalence of risky behaviors during adolescence has emerged as a grave threat to public health, posing one of the most significant psychological, social, and health-related challenges globally. These behaviors impact the individual and have negative consequences on families and society. As a pressing concern for communities, healthcare organizations, and social policymakers, identifying factors leading adolescents toward risky behaviors is paramount and urgent.
This descriptive correlational study was conducted in Ardabil, Iran, in 2024. Using convenience sampling, 200 s-year high school girls with an average age of 17 were selected. Participants were asked to complete three questionnaires: the Dark Triad Personality Test, the Revised Family Communication Patterns Scale (RFCP), and the Questionnaire of Risky Behaviors (QRB). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis, utilizing SPSS version 20.
The findings revealed a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) between machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and the conformity interaction pattern with a tendency toward risky behaviors in adolescents. Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the conversation interaction pattern and risky behaviors. The results further indicated that 30.4% (p < 0.01) of the variance in risky behavior tendencies in adolescent girls could be explained by the Dark Triad personality traits. In comparison, the interaction patterns of conversation and parental conformity could account for 37% (p < 0.01).
This study suggests that the Dark Triad personality traits and parental interaction patterns can effectively predict adolescent girls' tendencies toward risky behaviors. These results underscore the need for effective management strategies addressing these variables in school programs to provide early interventions that may prevent the escalation of risky behaviors among adolescents.
青少年时期危险行为的患病率不断上升，已成为对公众健康的严重威胁，是全球最重大的心理、社会及健康相关挑战之一。这些行为影响个人，并对家庭和社会产生负面影响。作为社区、医疗保健组织和社会政策制定者的紧迫关切，确定导致青少年出现危险行为的因素至关重要且迫在眉睫。
2024年在伊朗阿尔达比勒进行了这项描述性相关性研究。采用便利抽样法，选取了200名平均年龄为17岁的高中女生。参与者被要求完成三份问卷：黑暗三性格测试、修订后的家庭沟通模式量表（RFCP）和危险行为问卷（QRB）。使用SPSS 20版进行Pearson相关性分析和多元回归分析。
研究结果显示，马基雅维利主义、自恋、精神病态与青少年冒险行为倾向的顺从互动模式之间存在显著正相关（p < 0.01）。此外，对话互动模式与危险行为之间存在显著负相关（p < 0.01）。结果还表明，青少年女孩危险行为倾向方差的30.4%（p < 0.01）可由黑暗三性格特质解释。相比之下，对话和父母顺从的互动模式可解释37%（p < 0.01）。
本研究表明，黑暗三性格特质和父母互动模式可有效预测青少年女孩的危险行为倾向。这些结果强调了在学校项目中针对这些变量制定有效管理策略的必要性，以提供早期干预措施，预防青少年危险行为的升级。
