Özet:

The focus of audit is expressed in literature in the form of the focus of people’s events. The concept of control focus, which evaluates the health factor from a different perspective, has been studied by researchers for years in terms of their relations with different variables. This study aims to identify the levels of perception (internal or externally controlled) of health control centers of students studying at the university and to investigate the effects of controlled centers on health behavior. The universe of research is formed by graduate students studying at Kastamonu University. In faculties and higher schools connected to the university (Fen-Literature Faculty, Education Faculty, Physical Education High School, Fazıl Boyner Health High School, Kastamonu Professional High School) 400 students who received education and were randomly selected were surveyed. In this study, important findings were found in order to determine the perceptions of the health control focus of university students and their reflection of health behavior. According to this, the levels of internal control focus perception of male students have been significantly high compared to girls students.
