新兴的成年人18-25岁的人经常鲁莽行事。这项研究揭示了4个社会心理预测因素的作用鲁莽：（a）冲动，（B）同侪压力，（c）感知风险，（d）感知利益。作者从208名新兴成年人中获得了自我报告数据。所有的预测因子在预期的方向上与3种形式的鲁莽行为显著相关：（a）鲁莽的物质使用，（B）鲁莽的驾驶，（c）鲁莽的性行为。回归分析显示，控制性别，关系状态和社会期望，冲动预测鲁莽的物质使用和性行为，同伴压力预测鲁莽的物质使用，感知风险预测鲁莽驾驶，感知利益预测所有三种鲁莽类型。作者的新兴成人鲁莽的社会心理模型从所有4个预测因子解释整体鲁莽的独特差异的发现中获得了额外的支持。
Emerging adults-people aged 18-25 years-frequently behave recklessly. This study sheds light on the role of 4 psychosocial predictors of recklessness: (a) impulsivity, (b) peer pressure, (c) perceived risk, and (d) perceived benefits. The authors obtained self-report data from 208 emerging adults. All predictors were significantly correlated, in the expected directions, with 3 forms of reckless behavior: (a) reckless substance use, (b) reckless driving, and (c) reckless sexual behavior. Regression analyses revealed that, controlling for gender, relationship status, and social desirability, impulsivity predicted reckless substance use and sexual practices, peer pressure predicted reckless substance use, perceived risk predicted reckless driving, and perceived benefits predicted all three recklessness types. The authors' psychosocial model of emerging adult recklessness gained additional support from the finding that all 4 predictors explained unique variance in overall recklessness.
