This study validated the Adolescent Risk-Taking Instrument (ARTI) for assessing high-risk adolescents' perceptions. Findings aid health professionals in developing targeted interventions for adolescent risk-taking behaviors and social adaptation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Understanding adolescent risk-taking is crucial for effective health interventions.
  • Assessing high-risk adolescents' perceptions guides clinical practice.
  • The Adolescent Risk-Taking Instrument (ARTI) needed psychometric evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the psychometric properties of the revised Adolescent Risk-Taking Instrument (ARTI).
  • To identify key predictors of social adaptation and risk-taking in adolescents.
  • To inform clinical applications of the ARTI for high-risk youth.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an ex post facto research design for standardized data collection.
  • Employed exploratory factor analysis to support construct validity.
