Risk behaviour is considered one of the very serious problems of present social development. It has been developing dynamically and the methods used to solve it cannot be evaluated as efficient. This statement does not only apply for the Czech Republic but it affects the whole present society. We are therefore dealing with an international problem. Risk behaviour includes a wide scale of problems representing a great risk in children and youth at present and it has been dealt with by many experts. This phenomenon has been developing without cease and in our society it is a very up to date and discussed issue that should get more attention and more prevention. The diploma thesis consists of a theoretic and a practical part. The theoretic part consists of studied secondary literature and other materials and sources. To carry out the research several methods of collecting data were chosen: quantitative research methods, questioning method, data collection by means of a questionnaire. In the questionnaire several question types were applied: closed questions, semi-open questions, controlling questions and questions the evaluation of which was carried out by means of an evaluating scale. The research file for the questionnaire survey was made up by students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny. In total 593 questionnaires were handed out and filled out in both districts (404 questionnaires in České Budějovice and 189 questionnaires in Louny. The research aimed at providing an account concerning the occurrence of chosen risk behaviour in students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny and at compiling the obtained data and at comparing them mutually. The paper further aimed at finding out sources of information concerning chosen forms of risk behaviour and the rate of impact these sources may have in affecting students of 9th grades of schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny and how these sources can motivate students to take part in risk behaviour. To achieve the set goals the following hypotheses have been set: H1: The chosen risk behaviour occurs in a higher rate in students of primary schools in the district of Louny. H2: Information from media, the Internet and friends are for students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny more motivating to take part in chosen forms of risk behaviour than information obtained at school, from the family, lectures and meetings. Results of this paper may serve as information material for headmasters and teachers to achieve better awareness concerning the given issue at chosen primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny. Further it can be used as a basis for more efficient prevention at the given schools or as material for the needs of teaching and further research.
