Risk & Protective Factors

Risk Factors: conditions that increase the likelihood of outcomes that comprise health, quality of life, or life itself

Risk Factors Occur in 5 major life domains:

The more risk factors, the greater the risk

Common risk factors predict diverse behavioral problems:

If the impact of any given risk factor can be reduced, it is likely to reduce several risk behaviors

Risk Behavior: behavior that can compromise adolescent psychosocial development
Examples?

Risk Taking Behavior: behaviors that entail a conscious awareness of the risk/danger in a deliberate thrill-seeking attempt
Examples?

Protective Factors:
factors that buffer youth against the adverse effects of risk factors to which they are exposed
and diminish the likelihood of negative health and social outcomes

Protective Factors occur in many domains:

Many adolescent risk behaviors serve a purpose and are goal-directed

Drinking, smoking grass, smoking cigarettes
