Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among mental health, coping styles, and risk-taking behaviors; as well as the roles of mental health and coping styles in the prediction of risk-taking behaviors, based on the influence of gender in a sample of Iranian young adults. The sample consisted of 92 males and 208 females who were randomly selected from the city of Eghlid, Fars Province, Iran. A demographic questionnaire, the Domain-Specific Risk Taking Scale (DOSPERT), the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ) were used in this study. The results data indicated that mental health (and its subscales) had significant relationships to the DOSPERT (and its subscales) in this sample. Also, coping styles and its subscales had significant relationships to the DOSPERT and its subscales in this sample. Coping styles explained 11% of the total risk-taking behavior variability in this sample. Men had significantly higher scores than women in the confrontive coping style and risk-taking behavior constructs.

年轻人的心理健康、应对方式和冒险行为

摘要本研究旨在探讨心理健康、应对方式和冒险行为之间的关系;以及心理健康和应对方式在预测冒险行为方面的作用(基于性别对伊朗青年成人样本的影响)。样本由92名男性和208名女性组成，他们是从伊朗法尔斯省埃格里德市随机抽取的。本研究采用人口统计学问卷、特定领域风险承担量表(DOSPERT)、一般健康问卷-28 (GHQ-28)和应对方式问卷(WOCQ)。结果数据表明，该样本的心理健康(及其子量表)与DOSPERT(及其子量表)有显著关系。应对方式及其分量表与DOSPERT及其分量表存在显著相关。应对方式解释了样本中11%的冒险行为变异。男性在对抗性应对方式和冒险行为方面的得分明显高于女性。
