Abstract

Introduction: One of the main outcomes of SELF-ESTEEM is SELF-CONFIDENCE. RISK-TAKING is also a human characteristic influenced by SELF-CONFIDENCE such that it is more likely for people with high SELF-CONFIDENCE to make risky decisions with negative unpleasant consequences. Hence the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING among FEMALE STUDENTS living in dormitories of Isfahan UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCEs.Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 180 third year FEMALE STUDENTS living in dormitories of Isfahan UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCEs were selected through Cochran formula and stratified sampling. Data collection tools were researcher-made questionnaires of SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING whose validity and reliability were verified. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics tests (independent t test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation coefficient test).Results: The level of SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING was moderate for the majority of respondents and there was a significant negative correlation between them (p=0.023 and r=- 0.169). Scores of SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING did not differ significantly among married and single people and for different educational levels (p=0.714) but the mean scores of SELF-CONFIDENCE (F=3.138 and P=0.027) and RISK-TAKING (F=3.388 and P=0.019) were significantly different among economic classes. Pearson correlation test also showed a significant negative correlation between SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING (P=0.023 and r=-0.169).Conclusion: According to inverse relationship between SELF-CONFIDENCE and RISK-TAKING in FEMALE STUDENTS especially as to high-risk behaviors, it is suggested to take actions in order to increase their SELF-CONFIDENCE such as social skill training, identifying potential talents and providing the conditions for their realization, proper use of their thoughts in decision making and improving their intellectual needs.
