过渡年龄的青年（18-24岁）报告增加和高峰冒险（性，物质和犯罪行为）。应激性生活事件（SLE）与这些冒险行为有关。很少有人知道是什么调解这些关系。本研究在18-24奥尔兹的青少年中（N=126; M年龄= 21.3，SD = 1.9; 52%黑人; 56%女性），测试了各种应对策略是否在三个领域介导SLE与危险行为之间的关系。调整协变量，同时建模两个压力变量后，只有紧张的生活事件，但没有感知到的压力，是唯一与风险承担行为在中度到高度的水平。同时和前瞻性地发现，通过回避应对，SLE对非法药物使用和危险性行为的间接影响显着。对于报告有更大压力的生活经历的参与者来说，随着回避应对的增加，物质使用和危险性行为变得更大。回避应对是一个部分调解员的压力生活事件和物质使用/危险性行为之间的并发关系，但压力生活事件和物质使用之间的前瞻性关系的全面调解。没有一种应对策略能够调节压力性生活事件与青少年犯罪之间的关系。预防和干预策略的影响，减少回避应对和促进替代应对方式进行了讨论。
Transitional aged youth (18-24) report increasing and peaking risk-taking (sexual, substance, and delinquent behavior). Stressful life events (SLE) are associated with these risk-taking behaviors. Little is known regarding what mediates these relationships. This study tests whether various coping strategies mediate the relationship between SLE and risky behavior in three domains among 18-24 year olds (N=126; M age = 21.3, SD = 1.9; 52% Black; 56% female). After adjusting for covariates and simultaneously modeling two stress variables, only stressful life events, but not perceived stress, was uniquely associated with risk-taking behaviors at moderate to high levels. Significant indirect effects of SLE via avoidance coping were found for illicit drug use both concurrently and prospectively and for risky sex concurrently. For participants reporting greater stressful life experiences, substance use and risky sex behaviors become greater as avoidance coping increases. Avoidance coping was a partial mediator for the concurrent relationship between stressful life events and substance use/risky sex, but a full mediator for the prospective relationship between stressful life event and substance use. None of the coping strategies mediate the relationship between stressful life events and delinquency. Prevention and intervention strategy implications for reducing avoidance coping and promoting alternative coping styles are discussed.
