The hypothesis proposed is that there is a negative and significant correlation between self-control and youth risk behavior. The subjects in this study were teenagers with age ranging from 15 years old – 18 years old with total number of 78 subjects. Data collection techniques used was purposive sampling techniques. Measuring instruments used in this study are: a) self-control scale and; b) youth risk behavior surveillance system scale. The analysis in this study uses Pearson Correlation analysis. Based on the results of the correlation test, the results obtained is r (78) = -0.335, p = 0.003 < 0.05. Then it can be concluded that there is a negative and significant correlation between self-control with youth risk behavior. Where the higher the self-control, the lower the youth risk. Conversely, the lower the self-control, the higher the youth risk behavior.
