Abstract: The present study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine whether self-control ability mediated the relation between parent-adolescent relationship and adolescent risk-taking behavior, and whether this mediating process was moderated by deviant peer affiliation. With cluster sampling method, 1263 adolescents completed questionnaire measures of personal relationships in social networks, self-control ability, deviant peer affiliation, and risk-taking behavior. The results indicated that:(1)self-control ability played a mediating role in the relation between parent-adolescent relationship and adolescent risk-taking behavior;(2)deviant peer affiliation moderated the mediated path through self-control ability, namely this indirect effect was much stronger for adolescents affiliated with more deviant peers relative to those affiliated with fewer deviant peers. Thus, self-control ability's mediating effect existed in the association of parent-adolescent relationship with adolescent risk-taking behavior, meanwhile this mediating effect was moderated by deviant peer affiliation.

Key words: parent-adolescent relationship, risk-taking behavior, self-control ability, deviant peer affiliation, adolescents
