The Impact of Attachment Styles and Peer Pressure on Risk Taking Behavior in Adolescents

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of attachment styles and peer pressure on risk taking behaviors in adolescents. The research was carried out within the scope of the screening model, which is one of the descriptive research methods. The universe of the research is students from the High Schools in Istanbul. The sample of the study was consisted of 340 students which were selected by simple random sampling method. 191 of these students were female (56.2%) and 149 were male (43.8%). Relation Scale, Peer Print Scale and Risk Taking Behavior scale were used in the research. The Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation coefficient was used to see the relationship between attachment styles, peer pressure, and risk taking behaviors in the study. Then, hierarchical regression analysis was used for the related variables. Results showed that, in the first step; peer pressure explains 16% of the risk taking behavior alone, while in the second step; secure attachment style from the attachment styles explains 3% of the risk taking behavior and in the third step; the obsessive attachment style from the attachment styles explains 2% of the risk taking behavior. In the direction of these findings it is seen that, risk taking behavior is more explained by peer pressure variable than by other variables.
