For gathering the research data, ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Decision-Making Scale’, ‘Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale’, and ‘Achievement Goal Scale’ have been taken advantage of. Based on the findings, it is understood that there are significant relationships between high school students’ decision making sub-dimension and their fear of negative evaluation scores.
