چکیده:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of control source and risk perception in predicting the behavior of taxi drivers in Karaj. The research method was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this study was all 718 young taxi drivers in the city of Karaj. According to the Cochran formula at the level of 0.05, 250 young taxi drivers in Karaj were selected by available method. Data gathering tool was Manchester Driving Behavior Questionnaire, Rutter Control Source Questionnaire and Randemo and Avereson Risk Perceptions Inventory. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression and stepwise regression. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between control source and risk perception with driving behavior of young taxi drivers, and the control source, risk perception, and personality traits are predictive of driving behavior of young taxi drivers which these results point to cognitive and excitement emphasis in social normative behaviors.

Personality traits, as part of mentioned human factors, were already studied in some researches (Fine, 1963; Carpentiera, Brijs, Corr and Matthews, 2009; Thørrisen, 2013; Declercq, Daniels and Wets, 2014) as predictors of road accidents and risk driving.
With that, this current study is an extension to researches about extraversion predicting risky driving behaviors while exploring another factor that influences the relationship which is the internal and external locus of control of an individual focusing on traffic situations.
As for this current study, traffic source of control used as the other factor influencing the involvement or avoidance of the driver to portray risky driving behaviors on the road.
Regarding the normalization of the data requirements for the use of parametric tests, Pearson correlation method is used to determine correlation Hypothesis 1: The source of control plays a role in predicting the driving behavior of young taxi drivers in Karaj.

According to the results, the source of control plays a role in predicting the driving behavior of young taxi drivers in Karaj.
According to the obtained results, risk perception plays a role in predicting the driving behavior of taxi drivers in Karaj, and the second hypothesis of the research is confirmed .
