PERSONALITY TRAITS OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE CONTEXT RISK BEHAVIOR PRODUCTION

In the contribution we present the results of the study, which is focused on the personality traits of adolescents. In this case we include the school self-concept, aggression, self-esteem, anxiety, passion and discreetness to the group of the traits. In the theoretical background we allege the arguments why is so important to focus attention on the risk behavior of the adolescents. We specify the key characteristics of the risk behavior and impulsivity. We assume the lower values of the positive personality traits and higher values of the negative personality traits of the adolescents with higher level of the risk behavior, resp. impulsivity. The research was realised on the representative research sample 1829 adolescents in the age from 10 to 15. As the research methods we used VRSA (in English Prevalence of the Risk Behavior in Adolescence), SIDS (in English Scale of Impulsivity of Dolejs and Skopal), SPAS (in English Student Perception of Ability Scale), Questionnaire of Aggression, RSS (in English Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), SORA (in English Scale of Personality Traits in Adolescence). The results of the data analysis allow us to accept the research hypotheses.
