. Eating habits are determined among others by personality factors, including the locus of control. Objective. The aim of the research was to evaluate the frequency of consumption of selected food products depending on the locus of control (LOC) among junior high school students. Materials and method. The research was carried out in a group of 300 junior high school students in Podkarpackie Voivodeship (150 boys and 150 girls). An original questionnaire for measuring food products consumption was used to evaluate eating habits, and Drwal’s Delta Questionnaire was used to measure the locus of control. The outcomes were analyzed using the M-Whitney U test, with test probability p<0.05 regarded as significant. Results. Statistical analysis showed that girls significantly more often consumed milk and fermented dairy products, and boys, whole meal bread, pork and energy drinks (p<0.05). Moreover, the boys had more meals a day than the girls (p<0.001). It was also demonstrated that young people with internal locus of control significantly more often consumed fruit, whole meal and white bread, muesli, eggs, pork, poultry, fish and nuts, and those with external locus of control significantly more often consumed sweet fizzy drinks and energy drinks, as well as fast food products (p<0.05). Internal locus of control was also connected with a higher number of meals eaten a day (p<0.05). Conclusions. Some dietary habits of junior high school students differed depending on the gender and locus of control. In that case, girls and people representing internal locus of control displayed more rational choices.
