Parental and peer influences on adolescent 1xbet online sports betting

Dissertation Abstract

When adolescents are the subjects of developmental research into prosocial behaviors, the evidence suggests that both peers and parents are contributors to adolescents' 1xbet online sports betting behavior. However, these two predictors are rarely studied concurrently. The present study explored the relative influence of parents and peers on (1) different types of adolescent 1xbet online sports betting (i.e., planned and spontaneous) and (2) different targets of spontaneous 1xbet online sports betting (i.e., friends, non-friends, and strangers) in 51 early (mean age = 12.54 years, 24 boys and 27 girls) and 57 middle (mean age = 16.82 years, 25 boys and 32 girls) adolescents. Adolescents and their parents completed parallel forms asking them to describe their planned 1xbet online sports betting as well as a questionnaire assessing past and anticipated future spontaneous 1xbet online sports betting of friends, strangers, and (for adolescents only) non-friends. Adolescents also reported their perception of their friendship group's norm of 1xbet online sports betting as well as their level of identification with their friendship group. There was no clear age-related 1xbet online sports betting pattern, though a sex difference (females were generally more helpful than males) and an effect of target (friends were helped more than non-friends, who were in turn helped more than strangers) found in the adolescents was paralleled in the adults. Fathers' planned 1xbet online sports betting was generally more strongly related to their adolescents' planned 1xbet online sports betting than was mothers' planned 1xbet online sports betting , though both mothers' and fathers' spontaneous 1xbet online sports betting of friends and family (though not of strangers) was strongly associated with their adolescents' spontaneous 1xbet online sports betting . In contrast to parental variables' relationship with both adolescent planned and spontaneous 1xbet online sports betting , peer variables were more consistently related to spontaneous than planned 1xbet online sports betting . Implications of the present findings, and proposed directions for future research, are discussed.
