Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Self Categorization Theory (SCT) was used to test the influence of in-group prototypes on adolescent risky behavior with a sample of 325 high school freshmen. Dependent measures were self-reported behavior and behavior intent measures for cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana & sex. As proposed, social group identity predicted perceived prototype similarity, which, in turn, predicted behavior intent for 3 of 4 behaviors and predicted all four risk behaviors assessed. As predicted, while gender and race predicted some outcome measures, neither variable predicted or interacted with any concepts in the SCT model suggesting that the model worked well across subgroups. The discussion describes the utility of SCT in studies of adolescent risky health behaviors.
