dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “determinants of perceived risk taking behavior among adolescents” was undertaken in the Ludhiana district of Punjab. The study was designed to assess the status of perceived risk taking behavior among rural and urban adolescents. It also assessed the contribution of parenting, peer pressure, impulsiveness and emotional maturity of adolescents towards perceived risk taking behaviour. The sample comprised of 300 adolescents aged 16-18 years drawn equally from rural and urban areas of Ludhiana district. The sample was further distributed equally over gender (150 girls and 150 boys). Respondents were selected from government senior secondary schools by using random sampling technique. A self structured interview schedule was prepared to document the socio demographic profile of adolescents. A scale developed by Gullone et al was used to assess the risk taking behavior of adolescents. Parenting scale by Bharadwaj, Sharma and Garg, Peer pressure scale by Singh and Saini, Impulsiveness scale by Rai and Sharma and Emotional maturity scale by Singh and Bhargava was used to measure the perceived parenting, peer pressure, impulsiveness and emotional maturity of the adolescents respectively. Results revealed that rural and urban boys and girls had significant differences in perceived risk taking behavior. Significant locale and gender differences were also observed in perceived peer pressure, impulsiveness and emotional maturity. Parenting, peer pressure, impulsiveness and emotional maturity contributed significantly towards risk taking behavior among adolescents.en_US
