Objective: To explore the effect of relative deprivation on negative risk-taking behavior and positive risk-taking behavior of college students respectively, and to investigate the mediating role of perceived social support in these relationships.
Methods: Using convenience sampling, a survey including the Relative Deprivation Scale, the Risk-taking Behavior Scale, and the Perceptive Social Support Scale was conducted among 251 undergraduates from a university in Guangdong province. After excluding invalid responses (failed lie detection items), a total of 196 valid questionnaires were obtained. The correlation and mediation effect among the variables were tested.
Results: Relative deprivation was negatively correlated with perceived social support and positively correlated with both negative risk-taking behavior and positive risk-taking behavior. Perceived social support was negatively correlated with negative risk-taking behavior and positively correlated with positive risk-taking behavior. Negative and positive risk-taking behavior were positively correlated. Mediation modeling analysis showed that the direct effect of relative deprivation on negative risk-taking behavior was statistically significant with an effect value of 0.299. The mediating effect of perceived social support was 0.034 between relative deprivation and negative risk-taking behavior. The direct effect of relative deprivation on positive risk-taking behavior was statistically significant, with an effect value of 0.441. The mediating effect of social support between relative deprivation and positive risk-taking behavior had a “suppressing effect”, with a value of -0.040.
Conclusion: Relative deprivation can affect positive and negative risk-taking behavior among college students through perceived social support.
