teenagers motorcycle gang community aggression from the personal fable and risk taking Behavior perspective
Psychology Research and Behavior Management, 2018Co-Authors: Nur Aulia A Saudi, Nurul Hartini, Bahar BaharAbstract:Introduction: The number of criminal acts committed by teenagers who are members of the motorcycle gang community in the Makassar City of Indonesia continues to increase at an alarming rate. Among the antisocial Behaviors of teenagers in motorcycle gangs which might lead to criminal Behavior is aggression. This study aimed to examine the aggression of teenagers in the motorcycle gang community in one area of Makassar City from the Personal Fable (dimensions of omnipotence, uniqueness and invulnerability) and Risk-Taking Behavior perspective. Methods: Data were obtained through survey research involving 110 participants. Data collection tools included Personal Fable questionnaires, Risk-Taking Behavior questionnaires, and aggression questionnaires. Multiple linear regression analysis resulted in a R square value of 0.516 (p=0.00). Results: The results show that the Personal Fable, especially the dimensions of invulnerability, and risk taking Behavior had remarkable contributions in the adolescent aggression score, while the omnipotence and uniqueness dimensions of the Personal Fable were not found as significant predictors. Conclusion: The results implied that perceived invulnerability and tendency to engage in risky Behavior could markedly predict juvenile aggression. Social intervention aimed at adolescents’ talent and potential development is necessary to channel the destructive tendency of motorcycle gang members into a more favorable hobby.

managerial risk taking Behavior and equity based compensation
Journal of Financial Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Angie LowAbstract:Abstract Equity-based compensation affects managers’ Risk-Taking Behavior, which in turn has an impact on shareholder wealth. In response to an exogenous increase in takeover protection in Delaware during the mid-1990s, managers lower firm risk by 6%. This risk reduction is concentrated among firms with low managerial equity-based incentives, in particular firms with low chief executive officer portfolio sensitivity to stock return volatility. Furthermore, the risk reduction is value-destroying. Finally, firms respond to the increased protection accorded by the regime shift by providing managers with greater incentives for Risk-Taking.

managerial risk taking Behavior and equity based compensation
Social Science Research Network, 2008Co-Authors: Angie LowAbstract:I study managers' Risk-Taking Behavior and how it is affected by equity-based compensation. I find that in response to an exogenous increase in takeover protection in Delaware during the mid-1990s, managers lower firm risk by 6%. I also find that the decrease in firm risk is concentrated among firms with low managerial equity-based incentives, in particular, firms with low CEO portfolio sensitivity to stock return volatility. Furthermore, firms respond to the increased protection accorded by the regime shift by providing managers with greater incentives for Risk-Taking.

managerial risk taking Behavior and equity based compensation
Research Papers in Economics, 2006Co-Authors: Angie LowAbstract:I study managers' Risk-Taking Behavior and how it is affected by equity-based compensation. I find that in response to an exogenous increase in takeover protection in Delaware during the mid-1990s, managers lower firm risk by 5%. I also find that the decrease in firm risk is concentrated among firms with low managerial equity-based incentives. In particular, firms with low CEO portfolio sensitivity to stock return volatility experience more than 10% reduction in risk. Further, firms respond to the increased protection accorded by the regime shift with greater incentives for Risk-Taking.

adolescent substance use and sexual risk taking Behavior
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2001Co-Authors: Susan F Tapert, Gregory A Aarons, Georganna Sedlar, Sandra A BrownAbstract:Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship of adolescent substance use and dependence to sexual Risk-Taking Behavior in late adolescence and young adulthood. Methods: We prospectively examined self-reported sexual Behaviors and substance involvement questionnaires in a sample of youth in substance abuse treatment programs and a comparison sample of sociodemographically similar community youths without histories of substance use disorders recruited from media ads. Assessments of sexual Behaviors and substance involvement (78% white, 51% female) were collected at 2, 4, and 6 years after initial assessments, as they transitioned from middle adolescence to young adulthood (from age 15.5 to age 21.5 years, on average). The two samples were compared using Chi-square, analysis of variance, and multivariate analysis of variance approaches. Continuous indicators of high-risk sexual Behaviors and substance involvement were analyzed with multiple regression. Results: Earlier age of onset to sexual activity, more sexual partners, less consistent use of condoms, more sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and greater prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus testing were reported by youth in the clinical treatment sample relative to sociodemographically comparable nonabusing community youth. High rates of STDs were found among females, and more substance-abusing females reported pregnancies than community females. Substance involvement continued to be associated with high-risk sexual Behavior throughout the transition into young adulthood. Conclusions: Youth identified with substance problems are more likely to engage in risky sexual Behaviors during adolescence and to continue risky sexual Behaviors to the extent that substance problems persist. Risk reduction education should be included with adolescent substance abuse treatment.

the process and content of sexual communication with adolescents in two parent families associations with sexual risk taking Behavior
Aids and Behavior, 1999Co-Authors: Robin L Dutra, Kim S Miller, Rex ForehandAbstract:This study examined two aspects of sexual communication—process and content—between adolescents and both parents, as well as the relationship between parent–adolescent sexual communication and adolescent sexual Risk-Taking Behavior. The participants were 332 adolescents whose biological parents were married and living together. Adolescents were between 14 and 16 years of age and self-identified as either Black or Hispanic. Correlational analyses indicate that the process and the content of sexual communication are significantly and positively correlated. In addition, both process and content of sexual communication are positively associated across parents. Hierarchical regression analyses indicate that only mothers' sexual communication, both process and content, is related to adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior for both male and female adolescents.

adolescent sexual risk taking Behavior in single parent ethnic minority families
Journal of Family Psychology, 1999Co-Authors: Beth A Kotchick, Kim S Miller, Shannon Dorsey, Rex ForehandAbstract:Relationships of maternal sexual Behavior, mother-adolescent communication about sex, and maternal attitudes about adolescent sexuality to adolescent sexual Risk-Taking Behavior were examined in a sample of 397 Black and Hispanic families headed by single mothers. Some support emerged for a positive relationship between maternal sexual Risk-Taking Behavior and adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior; however, when considered in the context of communication about sex and maternal attitudes about adolescent sexuality, the relationship was no longer significant. When the process of sexual communication between a mother and an adolescent was open and receptive, less adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior was reported. The role of single mothers in influencing their adolescents' sexual Behavior is discussed.
