        The purpose of this study was to predict the tendency of high risk behaviors based on religious beliefs, emotion seeking, environmental polution and media in female university students. The population included all female students at the University of Isfahan. Thus, in a correlational research design, 290 students were randomly selected and were assessed by Iranian Adolescents Risk Taking Scale (IADS), the Questionnaire for Measurement Rate of Use of Media (elyasi, 1393), Emotion Seeking Scale (Zukerman), Questionnaire of  Religious Beliefs (Keshavarz & et al., 1389), a researcher-made scale for environmental pollution, and the Demographic Questionnaire. Results of Pearson correlation showed that religious beliefs, emotion seeking, squalor milieu, age of testees had significant relationship with high risk behaviors. In addition results of hierarchical  regression showed that from among first rank variables, doing the religious rituals, uninhibition, squalor milieu, the use of virtual and social network; and from among second rank variables parents age can predict 54.9 % of tendency to high risk behaviors in female students(p<0.01).

        The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive role of emotional schemas and difficulties in emotion regulation in high-risk behaviors among university students. The research method was descriptive and correlational, and statistical population included all students from Kosar University of Bojnord. The Sample of 325 (female) students were selected by random cluster sampling. Research tools were the Young’s Risk Behavior Scale (YRBS; Brener et al, 1995), Emotional Schemas Scale (LESS; Leahy, 2002) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004). To analyze the data, methods of descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression were employed. Findings indicated that some components of Emotional Schemas like, Emotional Self-awareness, Consensus, and Acceptance of feelings were negatively and Comprehensibility, Rumination, Guilt, and blame were positively associated with high-risk behaviors. In addition, some factors of difficulties in emotion regulation such as, Difficulties Engaging in Goal-Directed Behavior, Impulse Control Difficulties, Lack of Emotional Awareness, Limited Access to Emotion Regulation Strategies, and Lack of Emotional Clarity were predicted high-risk behaviors. Findings of present study showed that failure in the perception and dysregulation of emotions may susceptible a person to experience emotional distress which probably high risk behaviors was chosen as a mean to relieve negative emotions.

        Prominence has always been given to family as one of the major institution in socialization, values and attitudes transference from the society to its new young generation. Since in the Islamic text the woman is to take heed as mother and wife so in this study we investigate the mother’s role in disposition of high risk adolescents’ behaviors. Having basic skills by the parents could decrease the stress inside their family and lead to reasonable and normative confrontation with children’s problems, specially the adolescents. The young people are too vulnerable to be at risk and great dangers may impend over their present and future health more than others. Parents’ emotional neglect, particularly the mothers’ can cause that the adolescents consider any least lapse or omission of the parents as unkindness toward themselves. Therefore they may suffer from lack of sense and self confidence. These conditions make them to withdraw from any rationality and find refuge in their fancy. Such a feeling leads to anxious insecurity and finlly to high risk behaviors by the adolescents. Manuscript profile

        Family-Based Care & Preventive Strategies in Front of High-Risk BehaviorsAbstract:In recent decades, high-risk behaviors in all societies and in different age and sex groups have grown exponentially. Families are constantly striving to care for their children so that children are raised away from injury and do not engage in risky behaviors. High-risk behaviors are behaviors that are intentional and the person has little control over the possible side effects, such as smoking, alcohol, drugs, psychotropic drugs, and performing early sexual behaviors. The aim of this study was to analysis family-based care and prevention strategies for high-risk behaviors. This study has a hermenutic and constructive-interpretive paradigm and in terms of basis, qualitative research and data collection technique, in-depth and semi-structured interviews. To analyze the data, grounded theory method, with open, axial and selective coding process has been used in order achieve the final theory. The universe included families from Tabriz and sampling was done through purposeful sampling and with the participation of 26 families, theoretical saturation was achieved. Findings show that families follow the following triple model to take care of appearing high-risk behaviors: 1. Inefficient care strategy (lacking effective strategy); 2. Impulsive care strategy; 3. Process care strategy. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to construct and primary standardize of the high risk behaviors scale among second high school girls students. Research method was survey and instrument construction. The statistical population of this study consisted of all adolescent girls aged 15-18 years in Isfahan. The sample consisted of 340 secondary school girls who were selected through convenience (accessible) sampling. Researcher made High-Risk Behaviors Scale (HRBS), Iranian Adolescent's Risk Scale (IARS- Zadeh Mohammadi & Ahmadabadi, 2011) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ- Goldberg, 1970) were used to gather the data. Data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha, Pearson correlation and exploratory factor analysis. The results showed that internal consistency, test-retest reliability and questions and subscales coordination were appropriate. Evidence of divergent and convergent validity with Iranian adolescents' risk behaviors and mental health showed that high risk behaviors scale had divergent and convergent validity. Factor analysis confirmed construct validity of the scale. Providing percent norms and standard can help to determine normative judgment. Given these findings, it can be concluded that the high-risk behaviors scale for Adolescent girls has desirable psychometric properties and can be used in educational and research fields.
