Self Regulation, Sensation Seeking, Risk Taking BehaviorAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of self-regulation, defined as the ability to manage one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts, and sensation seeking, which refers to the tendency to seek new and intense experiences, on risk taking behavior among students in Sidoarjo who actively use social media. Focusing on a demograpic of 345 students from Sidoarjo (age 18-28). The instruments through multiple linear regression. Partially, self-regulation (β=-0,415) showed a significant negative contribution to risk taking behavior. Meanwhile, the sensation seeking variable (β=0,964) had a substantial contribution, meaning the tendency to seek sensation positively and significantly predicts risk taking behavior. These findings indicate the importance of self-regulation and control over sensation seeking in influencing an individual's propensity for risky behavior. The implications of the study suggest the need for self-control and for channeling the accelerator (sensation seeking) onto safe, beneficial paths that minimize risk among students.
