Core Tip	This review distinguishes between positive risk-taking and negative risk-taking in adolescents, and identifies shared and unique influencing factors across individual traits, family dynamics, peer influence, school climate, and community contexts. Key theoretical advancements include advocating for person-centered approaches to address behavioral heterogeneity, and for longitudinal studies to track dynamic interactions. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that redirect risk propensity toward positive risk-taking while mitigating negative risk-taking, offering a multi-system framework for fostering adolescents’ healthy development.
