Research on adolescent risk taking has yielded some interesting findings. First adolescents who do not take risks are less likely to have favorable long-term outcomes than those who occasionally take moderate risks. This tendency to take chances appears to be linked to changes in the adolescent brain that intensifies risk taking, sensation seeking, and arousal. When friends are present, there is a major increase in risk taking by adolescents. Children raised in permissive households are more susceptible to peer influence that those in authoritative households. Risk-taking also varies as a function of age, increasing from childhood to age 14, then gradually declining.
