“…Late-adolescent (18–24) college students are at a crucial stage of transition from childhood to early adulthood. This is also a time when risky behaviors, such increasing alcohol use and risky sexual activity, are more common and prevalent ( Duell et al, 2018 ; Liang et al, 2022 ). They are less mature than adults in terms of life experience, danger recognition and assessment skills, and self-control ( Liang et al, 2022 ; Qiu et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundAs a major public health problem globally, negative risk-taking behavior of college students may be related to their ostracism experience, but the reason for this association is unclear. Based on the limited resource theory, combined with the integrative model of athletic performance, we tested a moderated mediation model in which ego depletion mediated the association between ostracism and risk-taking, and physical exercise moderated the mediation process to examine the mechanisms underlying the association between ostracism and negative risk-taking behavior.MethodsOne thousand three hundred seven students (43% female) from four universities in China were recruited using cluster random sampling. The experience of being ostracized, ego depletion, physical exercise level, and negative risk-taking behavior were measured through an anonymous online questionnaire in “www.sojump.com.”ResultsAfter controlling for gender and grade in college, ostracism was positively related to negative risk-taking behavior; ego depletion mediated this relationship; and physical exercise level attenuated these direct and indirect relationships.ConclusionThe results highlight individual risk and protective factors associated with negative risk-taking behavior, and provide new perspectives on ways to prevent and reduce college students’ negative risk-taking behavior.

Background: Adolescent self-control is the ability to regulate emotions, behaviour, and thoughts when facing challenging or difficult situations. This study aims to determine the effect of the BBS method on self-control in adolescents. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control design to determine the effect of the BBS method on self-control in adolescents. The population used is youth aged 15-21 years as many as 140 adolescents and the sample count is 120 the adolescent in the village of Dukuhklopo with using simple random sampling. The research instruments used were standard operating procedures for BBS and questionnaires to determine self-control abilities in adolescents. Data results has been analysed with Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney test. Results: Based on the results Wilcoxon test of intervention and control group showed that p= 0,000, this meant that there were differences in adolescent self-control before and after the intervention in the intervention group and the control group. The Mann Whitney test result the p value in the treatment group showed p= 0,021 (p <0.05), this meant that there was a difference between before and after the intervention in the treatment group. Conclusion: BBS method can be used as a way to improve self-control abilities in adolescents. This method can be used to provide nursing care to adolescents who have decreased self-control abilities, such as to increase emotional control, control deviant sexual behaviour, control promiscuity and all other forms of juvenile delinquency.

Purpose This study aims to examine providers’ intentions to engage with sharing platforms, focusing specifically on how perceptions of risk and value influence the intention to participate, considering the moderation effect of regulatory focus. Design/methodology/approach Two laboratory experimental studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the relationship between risk and value perception on the intention to provide. Study 2 replicated and extended the results by testing regulatory focus as a moderator. Findings The findings confirmed that risk perception negatively impacted the intention to provide, while value perception mediated a positive effect on the intention to provide. In addition, promotion versus prevention focus was supported as a significant moderator; providers with a prevention focus (vs promotion) presented reduced intentions to supply on sharing platforms because of their concerns about negative consequences. Practical implications Sharing platforms actively communicate safety measures on social networks to reduce users’ perceived risks. This study demonstrates that providers with a preventive focus are less inclined to engage in sharing platforms because they avoid risks. Therefore, platforms should not only communicate the rewards of sharing and mechanisms that reduce the perceived risk but also segment potential providers based on their regulatory focus profiles to effectively attract more providers to their platforms. Originality/value This study analyzes the sharing behavior in peer-to-peer platforms by focusing on the provider side, whereas most previous studies address the user (customer) side. In addition, the adoption of the experimental design allows for a better understanding of the influence of risk and value perceptions on the intention to provide, considering the moderation effect of regulatory focus.
