TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Adolescents' perceptions of their risk-taking behavior JO - Adolescence A1 - Gonzalez, J. A1 - Field, T. A1 - Yando, R. A1 - Gonzalez, K. A1 - Lasko, D. A1 - Bendell, D. SP - 701 EP - 709 VL - 29 IS - 115 N2 - A questionnaire comprised of several self-report scales was administered to 440 adolescents to assess differences between high and low sports and danger risk takers on relationship and personality variables. Sports risk takers reported more danger-related risk taking and more drug use but higher self-esteem than did nonrisk takers. Danger risk takers reported greater sports-related risk taking and more drug use as well as less intimacy with their mothers, less family responsibility taking, and less depression than did their nonrisk-taking counterparts.
