Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Psychology.
Within the context of transitioning from a smaller to a larger school setting, adolescents’ self-reported health-risk behavior and academic achievement were examined in relation to their perceptions of their friends’ health-risk behavior and parent and school support. Hypotheses were generated using the “windows of vulnerability” (Lau Quadrel, & Hartman; 1990) and the “stage-environment fit” (Eccles, Lord, & Midgley; 1991) models. Previous health-risk behavior, friends’ health-risk behavior, parent support and the interaction term parent support by academic achievement were predictive of adolescents’ current health-risk behavior. In general, adolescents with low support and academic achievement participated more in health-risk behavior. Suggestions for prevention and intervention programs are offered.
