青少年时期的危险行为导致大量的发病率和死亡率。感觉寻求始终与参与风险行为有关，但这种关系的心理中介尚不清楚。目前的研究表明，青少年对风险行为的成本与收益的判断是这一关系的重要中介。参与者是406名年龄在12-17岁的不同种族和民族的青少年（M = 14.5, SD = 1.7； 48.3%为女性），他们参加了一项关于危险行为的人格和神经认知预测因素的大型多地点调查。数据收集通过自我报告在一个单一的实验室会议。利用结构方程模型检验了感觉寻求对风险行为的中介作用。结果表明，更高水平的感觉寻求预示着权衡风险行为的收益高于其成本，这反过来又预示着更高水平的风险行为。这些发现对理解青少年危险行为的机制和未来研究方向的意义进行了讨论。
Risk behavior during adolescence results in substantial morbidity and mortality. Sensation seeking consistently relates to engagement in risk behavior, but the psychological mediators of this relationship remain unclear. The current study demonstrates that adolescents’ judgments of the costs versus benefits of risk behavior were a significant mediator of this relationship. Participants were 406 racially and ethnically diverse adolescents ages 12–17 (M = 14.5, SD = 1.7; 48.3% female) who participated in a larger multi-site investigation of personality and neurocognitive predictors of risk behavior. Data were collected via self-report in a single laboratory session. Mediation of the relationship of sensation seeking to risk behavior was tested using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that higher levels of sensation seeking predicted weighing the benefits of risk behavior higher than its costs, which in turn predicted higher levels of risk behavior. Implications of these findings for understanding mechanisms underlying adolescents’ risk behavior and directions for future research are discussed.
