The course "Tourism, Mountaineering and Orienteering" (TMO) includes lots of situations which provoke high psychic tension, anxiety and stress. This study aims at revealing the influence of self-control skills on students' anxiety (trait and state), the perceived stress and psychic well-being during TMO course. Methods: Perceived Stress Scale (PS-1); State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI); Scale for measurement of the level of selfcontrol developed; The well-being index (WHO-5). There was a single research on self-control. The other variables were researched at the beginning and at the end of the course. Results: The comparative analysis of the empirical data (beginning-end of the course) showed that state anxiety and perceived stress decreased, and well-being increased. There were no statistically significant differences as regards trait anxiety. Self-control had a great impact on perceived stress (β=-0.46); trait anxiety (β=-0.26); state anxiety (β=-0.21) and psychic well-being (β= 0.37). Discussion and conclusion: Students' expectations as regards TMO course are related to experiencing difficulties, dangerous situations and uncertainty which leads to their involvement in it with marked anxiety, uneasiness, and stress. Students' participation and completion of TMO course leads to changes in their attitude towards its contents, degree of experienced stress and danger which is justified by the obtained results from the second study.
