Journal Title: SAR Journal - Science and Research - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In the paper we have focused on the age and gender differences in the risk behavior in adolescence. The main concept we work with is Jessor`s Syndrome of Risk Behavior in Adolescence. In the research we used the 38-items QRB (Questionnaire of Risk Behaviour; Čerešník, 2016). Research sample consists of 1011 adolescents in the age 10 - 15 from all regions of Slovakia. We assumed the differences in the risk behavior in relation to age and gender. The results showed that the boys and older adolescents have the higher tendency to behave risky.
