First Myocardial Infarction

The focus of the study was the relationship between Type A behavior and sensation-seeking behavior for individuals who had had a first myocardial infarction. Impulsivity, time compulsion, and sensation-seeking behavior were assumed to be risk taking. From 50 subjects with documented first myocardial infarctions were obtained scores on Type A behavior and sensation seeking. Pearson correlations were nonsignificant. Analysis of variance of Type A behavior scores for men aged 38 to 49 yr., 50 to 57 yr., and 58 to 69 yr. showed no significant effects. The group aged 38 to 49 yr. had the highest mean Type A score but these were not extreme. Subjects scored low to moderate on sensation seeking. Being a low sensation seeker apparently had more impact than Type A behavior.

Sensation Seeking Scale

In examining the associations of critical thinking skills and risk-taking behavior, scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale, Form V, Rotter's I-E Scale, and the Cornell Critical Thinking Scale confirm earlier research on sensation seeking in pointing to gender differences that predict more risk-taking behavior by men ( n = 52) than women ( n = 48).

Adolescent Risk

Adolescents are more likely to take risks. Typically, research on adolescent risk-taking has focused on its negative health and societal consequences. However, some risk-taking behaviors might be positive, defined here as behavior that does not violate the rights of others and that might advance socially-valuable goals. Empirical work on positive risk-taking has been limited by measurement challenges. In this study, we elicited adolescents’ free responses (n = 75) about a time they took a risk. Based on thematic coding, we identified positive behaviors described as risks and selected items to form a self-report scale. The resulting positive risk-taking scale was quantitatively validated in a population-based sample of adolescent twins (n = 1249). Second, we evaluated associations between positive risk-taking, negative risk-taking, and potential personality and peer correlates using a genetically informed design. Sensation seeking predicted negative and positive risk-taking equally strongly, whereas extraversion differentiated forms of risk-taking. Additive genetic influences on personality accounted for the total heritability in positive risk-taking. Indirect pathways from personality through positive and negative peer environments were identified. These results provide promising evidence that personality factors of sensation seeking and extraversion can manifest as engagement in positive risks. Increased understanding of positive manifestations of adolescent risk-taking may yield targets for positive youth development strategies to bolster youth well-being.
