The employed tools included Zukerman scale of sensation-seeking, Nowicki-Strickland Scale of locus of control and Friedman test anxiety scale.

Further, the confirmatory factor analysis was used to calculate the construct validity of the mentioned instrument. This instrument has significant factor loadings with favorable fit indices and could be applied in health school studies as x 2 = 232.09, DF= 170, P= 0.0001, x 2 /df = 1.37, AGFI=0.91, GFI= 0.88, LFI= 0.94, TLI= 0.93, CFI= 0.94, and RMSEA= 0.04.
