Abstract	This investigation examined the influence of gender and education attainment on engagement in antisocial and risk-taking behaviours and emotional dysregulation. A convenience sample (N = 285) of Australians, aged between 18 to 74, completed the Antisocial Engagement Questionnaire and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Gender differences were evident as females engaged in lower levels of antisocial and risk-taking behaviours and experienced more emotional dysregulation than males. The constructs of interest were also influenced by an individual's education attainment. Individuals with low education attainment had a higher propensity for engagement in antisocial and risk-taking behaviours and experienced increased emotional dysregulation compared to those with high education attainment. This research has contributed to our understanding of engagement in antisocial behaviours and emotional dysregulation and specifically identified gender differences within each of these constructs. It has also highlighted education attainment as a protective factor against engagement in antisocial behaviours and emotional dysregulation. (As Provided).
