本研究以三年追踪研究设计，探讨青少年的鲁莽驾驶、饮酒、吸烟行为，以及沿着的认知。与大多数健康行为模型一致，结果表明，健康认知预测风险行为。此外，目前的数据表明，危险行为的增加伴随着对脆弱性和流行性的看法的增加以及对健康和安全的关切的影响的减少。此外，患病率估计的变化以及对健康和安全的关注预测了随后的风险行为。这些结果表明风险行为和相关认知之间的相互作用，并表明青少年意识到与他们的行为相关的风险，但修改他们对这些风险的思考方式，以促进继续参与的行为。
Adolescents' reckless driving, drinking, and smoking, along with their cognitions about these behaviors, were assessed in a 3-year longitudinal design. Consistent with most models of health behavior, the results indicated that health cognitions predict risk behavior. In addition, the current data demonstrate that increases in risk behavior are accompanied by increases in perceptions of vulnerability and prevalence and by decreases in the influence of concerns about health and safety. Furthermore, the changes in prevalence estimates and concern about health and safety predicted subsequent risk behavior. These results demonstrate reciprocity between risk behaviors and related cognitions and suggest that adolescents are aware of the risks associated with their behavior but modify their thinking about these risks in ways that facilitate continued participation in the behaviors.
