Risk Behavior Among Slovak and Czech Adolescents Through the Lens of Self-Regulation, Prosociality, and Antisociality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

INTRODUCTION: In the present article, we focused on the relationship between risk behavior in adolescents, self-regulation, prosociality and antisociality. We work under the assumption that the development of the ability to self-regulate facilitates processes of internalization, thereby strengthening the conscious effort toward prosocial behavior and the reduction in antisocial tendencies. This creates suitable conditions for minimizing risk behaviors typical for adolescence. METHODS: Our research sample consisted of 3,092 adolescents enrolled in upper secondary education (ISCED 3) in Slovakia and Czechia, ranging in age from 15 to 19 (M = 16.81, SD = 1.11). We collected data using 4 questionnaires/ scales: the Occurrence of Adolescents Risk Behavior, the Risk Behavior Scale, the Prosocial Tendency Measure-Revised, and the Self-regulation Questionnaire. All used methods were available in both Slovak and Czech with acceptable values of reliability. RESULTS: The main result of our statistical analysis is the output from the regression analysis. We found that age, sex, nationality, altruism, antisocial behavior and self-regulation were predictors of risk behavior in adolescents. The adjusted R2 coefficient explained approximately 18 % of the variability. CONCLUSION: Our data supported the predicted relationship between the test variables. Specifically, we found that a higher probability of risk behavior in adolescents between theage 15 to 19 exists in older adolescents, girls (small difference), those with weaker self-regulation ability, higher antisocial tendencies, and lower prosociality.
