A total of 204 middle and high school counselors from across the United States responded to a survey in which they were asked to determine whether they view specific adolescent risk-taking behaviors of varying intensity, frequency, and duration as warranting parental notification. Results suggest that counselors’ perceptions that it is ethical to break confidentiality and report the risk-taking behaviors increased when the behaviors were more intense, more frequent, and of longer duration. Further, although there was less ambiguity regarding the perceived dangerousness of some behaviors (e.g., suicidal ideation), all behaviors showed some variance or disagreement among respondents with regard to their willingness to break confidentiality. Implications and suggestions for school counselors are considered.

从青少年期冒险行为的界定和大学生心理发展特点入手,从心理学视角提出大学生冒险行为的几种可能解释,然后结合实际心理咨询案例片段,分析大学生冒险行为背后的心理动力,帮助咨询师更好地理解大学生冒险行为,让其积极价值得到充分发挥,尽可能减少其消极影响。 Starting from the definition of the Adolescent risk-taking behavior and the psychological characteristics of college students,several possible explanations for college students’ risk-taking behavior were proposed from a psychological perspective. Combined with the clinical case fragments of college psychological counseling,the psychological motivation behind the risk-taking behavior of college students was analyzed. It should help the counselors to better understand the risk-taking behaviors of college students. Its positive value would be brought into full play,and its negative effects would be reduced as much as possible.

The present study uses Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory as a framework for understanding the influence of state-wide fatal police shootings and wealth on a host of adolescent risk-taking behaviors (i.e. sexual risk taking, tobacco use, drug use, alcohol use, and suicide risk). Using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, associations were tested among black and white adolescents from five states (N=13,314). State-wide police shootings were positively associated with drug use, alcohol use, and suicide risk among black adolescents. In contrast, state-wide police shootings, alone, were not associated with any risk-taking behaviors among white adolescents. However, wealth mattered, such that increases in wealth were significantly associated with lower sexual risk-taking, drug use, and suicide risk for white adolescents. Wealth was only associated with lower alcohol use among black adolescents. Our results indicate that state-wide fatal police shootings may shape adolescent health in unfavorable ways – namely among Black youth. Wealth may serve as a buffer against the negative effects of state-wide fatal police shootings.
