Among these adolescents, 320 people were selected as a sample using multistage sampling. Research data were collected using High- Risk Behavior Questionnaire (Zadehmohammadi et al, 2011), the initial scale of difficulty in emotion regulation (Gratz and Roemer, 2004), the self-differentiation questionnaire (Drake & Murdock, 2015), and the Self-Assertiveness questionnaire (Gambrill & Richey, 2015). Data were analyzed by correlation, regression analysis using SPSS-23.
Results: Multiple correlation coefficient was 0.52 (p<.01) and 27.1% of high-risk behaviors variance was explained by the study variables. Also, among the predictors, the two variables of assertiveness (β =-0.36, P<0.004) and self-differentiation (β=-0.23, P<0.05), predict high-risk behaviors The two variables of assertiveness, self-differentiation, predict high-risk behaviors and explain a total of 27.1% of its variance.
Discussion: According to the results, it is suggested to include these factors in prevention programs
aimed at reducing high-risk behaviors.
