Risky driving an interactional model including parental monitoring and affiliation With deviant prees among military familie's adolescents

Adolescence is considered as an important phase for beginning high risk behaviors. The current study aims to investigate parental monitoring role and affiliation with deviant peers in risky driving among military families’ adolescents.
The design of the current study involves correlation using structural equation modeling. The population of the current study involves all male and female military families’ adolescents in which 457 were selected through cluster sampling. To collect the data, different scales such as Iran’s adolescent risk-taking scales, parental monitoring scales and affiliation with delinquent peers were used. The data were analyzed using correlation statistical indices, independent T and structural equation modeling through SPSS and LISREL.
The obtained results showed that parental monitoring through affiliation with delinquent peers had a significant effect on risky driving. The mediating model can explain 0.12 variance.
It’s highly influential to pay attention to the parental monitoring role in decreasing affiliation with delinquent peers as well as decreasing the risky driving by adolescents. Therefore, prevention efforts aimed at reducing risky driving should be composed of these factors.
