چکیده

Background and Objective: The COVID-19 emergence obliged many governments to exert public health measures. However, it seems a vast difference in levels of respect towards health-related guidelines. Among all age groups, adolescents are known to have low conformity to such rules and display a crucial role in spreading the virus. In efforts trying to find the key contributing factors of such extensive non-compliance, much pandemic research attention has been focused on the adult population and adolescents have not been widely addressed. This paper examined the role of personal fable, sensation seeking and social alienation in the adoption of Covid-19 recommended practices in adolescents.
