Adolescence is a period of heightened risk-taking. Therefore it is important to investigate positive settings that can facilitate healthy adolescent development and reduce risk-taking behaviour. This study investigated the relations between non-sporting extracurricular activity participation intensity and risky behaviour. Adolescents’ coping efficacy was tested as a moderator between extracurricular activity participation and risk-taking among adolescents at different levels of contextual risk. Adolescents (N = 1,599) across Western Australia were surveyed. Results for moderately at-risk youth indicated a significant interaction, such that greater activity intensity was associated with less risk-taking for adolescents with higher coping efficacy. However, higher intensity activity participation predicted more risk-taking for adolescents with low coping efficacy.

课外活动强度和青少年冒险：探索情境风险和应对效能的互动效应

青春期是一个高度冒险的时期。因此，重要的是调查可以促进青少年健康发展和减少冒险行为的积极环境。本研究调查了非体育课外活动参与强度与危险行为之间的关系。青少年的应对效能被测试为处于不同情境风险水平的青少年的课外活动参与和冒险之间的调节因素。对西澳大利亚的青少年 (N = 1,599) 进行了调查。中等风险青少年的结果表明存在显着的相互作用，因此，对于应对效率较高的青少年而言，较高的活动强度与较少的风险承担相关。然而，
