Abstract:

Background: Adolescence and early adulthood represent a critical period that shapes long-term health outcomes and lays the foundation for a healthy and productive life. Understanding the influence of health risk behaviors on physical activity and dietary habits is essential for targeted public health interventions. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of various dimensions of health risk behaviors on physical activity among college students and to examine the differences in physical activity and dietary patterns based on gender.

Aim. The study aimed to attempt to explain the probable causality of undertaken risk behaviours in a group of university students, from the perspective of various predictors (which included low individual and social resources, as well as other risk behaviours). The choice of predictors was dictated, among other things, by the assumptions of risk behaviour theory and gateway theory. Methods. The research was conducted among university students from many cities in Poland. Empirical data were collected using the survey method.

Abstract. Private risk reduction behaviours can significantly reduce the negative impacts of flooding and flash floods. Over the past decades, researchers have used various socio-cognitive models or threat and coping mechanisms to explain individual protective behaviours. However, these models ignore the fact that people are not equally ready to act upon a danger, and they (the models) give limited insights into the effectiveness of communication strategies to foster risk reduction behaviours. Therefore, we explored the current state of homeowners' readiness to undertake risk reduction behavio

Abstract:

AbstractThe Adolescent Risk-taking Questionnaire (ARQ) was developed to comprehensively assess adolescent risk-taking beliefs and behaviours. Research has shown that it is a reliable instrument with strong construct validity. The current study investigated the convergent and discriminant validity of the ARQ by comparing responses of a sample of 52 male adolescents from a juvenile justice centre and 211 school-attending male adolescents. Consistent with past research, the juvenile justice centre youth reported significantly higher levels of depression and less optimal levels of parent attachmen

Abstract:

Patients with coronary heart disease often engage in unhealthy lifestyle behaviours. We explored patients’ and general practitioners’ (GPs’) perceptions about the effectiveness of healthy behaviours and medications for the prevention of further cardiovascular disease. This exploratory study used semi-structured interviews with eight Sydney GPs and 13 of their patients with coronary heart disease. Patients perceived medications to be more effective than healthy behaviours in improving specific aspects of cardiovascular health, such as angina symptoms, cholesterol and blood pressure, whilst GPs

Purpose The present study aimed to examine the effects of personality traits on bus drivers’ self-reported prosocial and aggressive driving behaviours as well as the mediating role of risk perception and the moderating role of gender in this relationship. Methods Three hundred and ten bus drivers who were 24–57 years old agreed to participate in this study. The measures utilized included personality scales, a risk perception scale and a prosocial and aggressive driving behaviour scale. Results A moderated mediation model was established.

Abstract:

Our willingness to take risks, our ability to wait or the speed with which to make decisions are central features of our personality. However, it is now recognized that impulsive and risk-taking behaviours are not a unitary construct, and different aspects can be both psychologically and neurally dissociated. The range of neurochemicals and brain systems that govern these behaviours is extensive, and this may be a contributing factor to the phenotypic range seen in the human population. However, this variety can also be pathological as extremes in risk-taking and impulsive behaviours are chara

Abstract:

Health behaviours are the behaviours that are practised by people for the enhancement and maintenance of their health. These behaviours are common in all age groups, but adolescence, as the most vulnerable age, has a higher proclivity to engage in risky behavior. Among the protective factors, increasing research in the area documents that spirituality and spiritual practises serve as the protective agent for health-risk behaviors. The present study makes an attempt to explore spirituality as a protective factor against health-risk behaviours among adolescents. The study aims to see the relatio

Background High-risk fertility behaviour remains a major public health in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, like other sub-Saharan Africa countries, especially because Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is very high in the country, estimated at 6.6 children. Despite the commendable progress in reducing maternal deaths in the region, sub-Saharan Africa is still lagging very behind compared with other regions. Yet, high-risk fertility behaviours are pivotal to improve maternal and child health. This study aims to assess geographical variations of, and to identify risk factors associated with high-ri

The study adopted a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design.

Findings indicated that students' attitudes towards risk-taking behaviours were mainly positive due to the perception that they knew their limits and were able to restrain their use fo

Recreational drug use (RDU) among gay and bisexual men (GBM) is associated with higher-risk sexual behaviours, however this has not been well defined among older GBM. We investigated the association between RDU and sexual behaviours among older GBM in Sydney, Australia. 617 GBM aged 35–79 years self-reported their RDU in the past 6 months and sexual behaviours. Age-stratified univariable associations between RDU and behaviour were examined. GBM aged 35–44 years were the most likely to report RDU, with rates decreasing with increasing age (Ptrend &lt; 0.001). Associations between RDU and hi

Abstract:

A number of behaviours associated with borderline personality disorder (including attempted suicide, suicide, substance abuse, and antisocial behaviour) are on the increase among the young. The common factor in these disorders is impulsiveness. Evidence is reviewed suggesting that social disintegration reduces the threshold of impulsive behaviours. It is proposed that this is the mechanism through which social risk factors effect the prevalence and morbidity of borderline personality. A number of ways of testing this hypothesis are suggested.
