Abstract :

In order to examine risk taking factors in youngsters, 50 male and 50 female students from Isfahan University completed the Measures of Perception of Social Interaction Questionnaire (Glass, 1994), Risk Taking Questionnaire (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975), and Anger Control Questionnaire (Griffin et al., 1999). The findings demonstrated a significant negative correlation between risk taking and perceptions of social interaction (r = -0.28) and anger control (r = -0.26), confirming the hypotheses of this research. Rate of correlation coefficients for the two groups was similar.
