Why Teenage Risk Taking Behavior is Going Too High?

Abstract

Sushma Suri

This article proposes Decision making (Fuzz trace theory) and Evolutionary theories and their role within a new framework of investigations that have been applied to the Teen health risk behavior. The trace theory argues that how people represent, retrieve, and process information when they make decisions, and how decision making changes with development. Gist representations often incorporate emotion including valence, arousal, feeling states, and discrete emotions and Emotion determines whether gist or verbatim representations are processed. Trace theory also indicates that Intuition is developmentally advanced and that emotion is integral to intuition just opposite to classical decision making theory that assumes development progresses from hot intuitive thinking to cold calculation bypassing emotion. On the other hand evolutionary model emphasizes that natural selection shaped human neurobiological mechanisms. Most important, these responses are not arbitrary but function adaptively to calibrate developmental and behavioral strategies to match that environment. These theories promise to be valuable as comprehensive descriptive reference material for health professionals, psychologists, academicians and particularly for parents. And have broad implications for designing interventions for high-risk youth and suggests new directions for research.
