Introduction: Risk-taking behaviour has continued to be a source of concern to scholars and stakeholders in developed and developing nations like Nigeria. This is because of the disruptive tendencies the behaviour is capable of having on the individual and society at large. This prompted this study to examine the role of self-efficacy and personality traits on risk-taking behaviour among the youths in the Port Harcourt metropolis.

Key words: Risk-taking behaviour, personality traits, gender, self-efficacy, youths
