Risk Taking Behaviors

Adolescents experience a variety of daily pressures from various facets in their social environment. Their ability to deal with these pressures and the resulting stress depends on individual coping mechanisms. Stress that is induced by pressures can manifest itself as participation in risk-taking behaviors and development of poor self-concept, leading to an overall poor self-assessment of health and somatic complaints. Recent data evaluating the impact of stress on adolescents have focused on the influence of the adolescent's social environment, specifically peer and family relationships. Metzler et al studied risky sexual behavior in a group of adolescents as a consequence of associations with peers engaging in risk-taking behaviors.

Previous research has shown that narcissism is associated with risk-taking. However, little is known about the factors that may contribute to narcissistic individuals being more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviour. The present research examined whether social worldviews would mediate the associations that specific narcissistic personality features had with risk-taking across life domains in a sample of Iranian community members (N = 489). Our results revealed that the extraverted, antagonistic, and neurotic aspects of narcissism had positive indirect associations with risk-taking in certain life domains through the competitive social worldview. These results suggest that the tendency to view the social environment as intensely competitive may play an important role in the associations that narcissistic personality features have with risk-taking in certain life domains.

This article reviews the literature on aspirations in economics, with a particular focus on socially determined aspirations. The core theory builds on two fundamental principles: ( a) Aspirations can serve to inspire, but still higher aspirations can lead to frustration and resentment; and ( b) aspirations are largely determined by an individual's social environment. Using the structure of this core theory, we discuss the implications of our framework for the study of interpersonal inequality, social conflict, fertility choices, risk taking, and goal setting.
