The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional seeking and identity styles with high-risk behaviors in adolescents (Zahedan Red Crescent Center). Material & Methods: This descriptive correlation study was carried out in the Red Crescent Center of Zahedan in 1395. The population of the study was 1730 and the sample size was estimated using 150 Morgan table with available sampling method. In order to collect data, emotion seeking, identity style and high risk behaviors were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS-19 and correlation and regression tests. Results: Pearson test results showed that there was a significant correlation between risk appetite and high risk behaviors (0/05). There was a significant relationship between the dimensions of normative, transcendental (reverse and negative) and confused (direct and positive) style with high risk behavior (0/05). Regression results showed that excitement and identity styles had the power of predicting high-risk behaviors. Conclusion:The results of the study showed that there is a correlation between emotionality and identity styles. Prevention provides a rational solution for psychosocial and social safety. Prevention of high-risk behaviors is easier, less costly and more effective than treatment. }, URL = {http://ndhj.lums.ac.ir/article-1-155-en.html}, eprint = {http://ndhj.lums.ac.ir/article-1-155-en.pdf}, journal = {nursing development in health}, doi = {}, year = {2017} }
