Compared to other life period adolescence is characterized by a heightened potential for risky behaviour. This study reports the systematic development and psychometric evaluation of a comprehensive adolescent risk - taking questionnaire (ARQ). It was developed using reports of 570 adolescents and was psychometrically evaluated with a sample of 925 adolescents between 11 and 18 years of age. Principal components analyses yielded a four - factor risk structure and these factors were substantiated via confirmatory factor analysis. One week test - retest and internal consistency indices were demonstrated to be sound. Age and gender differences were found to be consistent with reported trends in accident data. Older adolescents and boys reported lower risk perceptions and a higher frequency of risky behaviours than younger adolescents and girls, respectively, supporting the validity of the ARQ. Furthermore, consistent with past research, perceiving higher levels of risk typically related to lower levels of engaging in the respective behaviours.
