Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 11

Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of personal factors on manifestations of risk behavior in young people. Risk be-havior is usually associated with personality challenge and danger. Objective assessment of risk and its degree in the performance of appropriate tasks, the manifestation of predisposition to risk behavior is extremely important for the safety of the personality in a variety of life situations. This is especially true for young people, because their risk appe-tite arises through the search for adventures, interesting events, intense emotions and, accordingly, the internal readi-ness to take risks at different levels (physical, social, legal) for acquiring experience through the realization of risk actions. The article describes emotional, cognitive and volitional components in the structure of risk behavior. Based on the results of the conducted empirical research (comparative and correlation analysis), the following personal factors contributing to the formation of risk behavior of modern youth have been found: masculinity, sociability, reactive ag-gression, self-confidence and shyness. According to the results of the study, students have a low level of self-control, which can provoke the emergence of risk actions, because it involves the inability to resist circumstances, the lack of trends of searching for causes of actions and results in themselves.
