Abstract: Using a series of questionnaires the present study surveyed a sample of 922 adolescent students aged from 11~19 years old (M=14.39±1.68) in order to explore the mediating effects of self-control ability and deviant peer affiliation on the relationship between family functioning and adolescent risk-taking behavior, including General Functioning Scale of the Chinese version of the Family Assessment Device, Deviant Peer Affiliation Scale, Self-Control Ability Scale and Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale. The main findings were as follows:(1) family functioning, self-control ability, deviant peer affiliation and adolescents' risk-taking behavior were significantly related with each other; (2) self-control ability played an important mediating role in the relationship between family functioning and adolescent risk-taking behavior; (3) self-control ability and deviant peer affiliation exerted sequential mediating effects on the association of family functioning with adolescent risk-taking behavior, i.e., family functioning could influence adolescent self-control ability which in turn affected adolescent deviant peer affiliation and deviant peer affiliation then impacted adolescent take-risking finally.These findings further reveal how family, peer and individual factors affect adolescent risk-taking behavior.
