Title: RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BODY MODIFICATIONS AND VERY HIGH-RISK BEHAVIO IN A COLLEGE POPULATION.
Authors: Burger, Terry D., Finkel, Deborah

Subjects: College students, Risk-taking behavior
Abstract: Previous studies have revealed a positive correlation between risky behaviors (such as the use of drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol) and participation in body modification. There is a shortage of available research, however, investigating the relationship between body modification and behaviors of higher-risk such as driving while intoxicated and unsafe sexual practices. The current study attempted to bridge this gap in the literature by examining body modification participation and involvement in very high-risk behaviors common to a college student population. Two hypotheses were examined. First, it was hypothesized that a positive relationship between participation in body modification and very high-risk activities would be found. Secondly, it was hypothesized that self-esteem would mediate the relationship between body modification and very high-risk behaviors. The Cognitive Appraisal of Risky Events — Revised (Fromme, D' Amico, & Katz, 1999; Katz, Fromme, & D' Amico, 2000) and The Coopersmith Inventory (Coopersmith, 1981) were administered to 117 undergraduate students at a small midwestern university. Only the first hypothesis was supported. Results suggested different levels of high-risk behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
