Analysis Model of the Path of Social Security Feeling and Non- observance of Law in the Tendency toward Displaying Hazardous Behaviors among Adolescents (Case study :Urmia city)

 Performing risky behaviors by teenagers will be the most important factor in jeopardizing the health and safety of society in the future. Therefore, the present research was conducted aimed at investigating the path analysis model of the social security feeling and non-observance of law in the tendency toward risky behaviors among adolescents.

 The present research was of applied type in nature and of correlational type in terms of descriptive method. The statistical population of the present study is made up of all 1361 male students secondary school of the twelfth grade of humanities in 15 schools of Urmia city in the academic year of 2020-2021. In order to determine the sample size based on Klein's method (2010), 370 students were selected using the available method. In this research, Mohammadzadeh and Ahmadabadi's risk behavior questionnaire (2008), Mirfardi and Faraji's law non-observance questionnaire (2016) and Niazi and Farshadfar's social security questionnaire (2011) were used. Data analysis was done by Pearson correlation test and path analysis using SPSS 18 and Amos 23.

 The findings showed that there is a negative correlation between social security feeling (-0.40) and the tendency toward risky behaviors at a significant level of 0.01. While, there is a positive correlation between non-observance of law (0.37) and tendency to risky behaviors at a significant level of 0.01. The social security feeling has an impact of 0.503 on the tendency toward risky behaviors with the mediation of non-observance of law. In the research, it could be concluded that once social security is improved, the rate of law non-observance by people will decrease, as a result, the probability of displaying high-risk behaviors by adolescents would be lower.
