Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate behavioral choices among young adults and the interrelationships among these choices. Behaviors defined as "risky" were those which were responsible for negative outcomes and the cause of bodily harm. The researcher selected subjects from three buildings on and around the Morgan State University campus. Subjects were asked to participate in a study concerning behavior choices among young adults. Results indicated that correlations were statistically significant for patterns of reckless driving, drinking, and sexual behavior. The study supported relationships between risky driving and alcohol use, but did not relate to sexual behavior. (Author/publisher)
