Locus of Control Scale, the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking and Personal Information Form are applied to the participants. SPSS (11.00) pack program is used for the analysis of the gathered data. According to the results, it is found that, there is a positive correlation (r=. 112; p<. 05) between risk taking tendency and locus of control. Also, the people who have an external locus of control significantly have more tendencies on risk taking when they are compared with the internals.
