A Functional Analytic Framework for Understanding Adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Inhibitory Control and Drug Abuse Prevention

Abstract

Adolescence is a unique period of growing independence and seeking of novel experiences, often in a peer context, that results in the exploration of new environments and the participation in a greater variety of behaviors not typically observed in childhood, including risk behaviors. Given the clear public health significance of engagement in risk behavior among adolescents, refining our models of mechanisms and processes underlying risk-taking has garnered increasing attention. Learning theory is one approach at the heart of many current models of risk-taking, but there have been few efforts to consider comprehensively the framework of functional analysis and the role of positive and negative reinforcement on risk-taking behavior. The current chapter addresses this gap outlining how functional analysis can serve as a framework to understand the proximal causes of risk behavior, but also how it can be conceptualized more broadly to consider distal influences and to integrate existing knowledge across a wide range of domains including personality and neurobiology. We conclude with a thorough consideration of the implications of this approach for prevention and early intervention.
