Resiliency in Adolescence: Cumulative Risk and Promotive Factors Explain Violence and Transportation Risk Behaviors
Buckley, Lisa; Chapman, Rebekah L.
Youth & Society, v52 n3 p311-331 Apr 2020
Adolescent intentional and unintentional injury is commonly related to involvement in violence and transportation behaviors. While many risk and promotive factors have been identified, a cumulative assessment of such factors is less common, and this has rarely been undertaken with transportation behaviors. The study involved Australian adolescents from high schools with greater than 75% of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, aged 13 to 14 years (n = 826). Findings showed the presence of risk factors increased the odds of engagement in unintentional and intentional injury-risk behavior and the presence of promotive factors decreased the odds, supporting a compensatory model of resiliency. An interaction term of cumulative risk by promotive factors was a significant predictor in logistic regression analyses suggesting a protective-factor model of resiliency also applies. The research has implications for resiliency theory in the field of transportation and adds to the research on the value of compensatory and protective-factor models of resiliency.
