Abstract

The aim of the research is to build a measure of risk-taking behavior among female teachers at the University of Sulaymaniyah and to identify the values of risk-taking behavior in the building sample. The researchers used the descriptive approach using a survey method for its suitability and the nature of the research. Percentage, (Ca2), relative importance, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, (T) test, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient), and the researchers concluded:

- The risk behavior scale was built.

- The research sample possesses risky behavior with an above average degree.

The quality of reconciliation appeared as the assumed normal distribution.

The two researchers recommended:

Attention to the psychological aspect in general and to this variable in particular.
