| description | The current study examined the relationship between stressful life events, self-esteem, social
support and engagement in risky behaviors in Canadian adolescents. A longitudinal design
was utilized and studied whether stressful life events and engagement in risky behaviors are
mediated by self-esteem. The study also examined whether the relationship between stressful
life events and engagement in risky behaviors is moderated by social support. Results for the
mediating model found a significant effect of self-esteem on the relationship between
stressful life events and engagement in risky behaviors. However, no support was found for
the moderated mediation model and social support was not found to significantly moderate
the relationship between stressful life events and engagement in risky behaviors. |
