Using a dual system of reasoning in small businesses: Entrepreneurial decisions and subjective risk intelligence

We present the results of validating the Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale (Craparo et al., 2018) in the Russian sample. The study tested the hypotheses about the relationships between subjective risk intelligence, acceptance of uncertainty and risk, and emotional intelligence. The participants (N=588) included 473 women and 115 men (Mage=27.09, SD=10.35); 260 people were tested online, and the rest — face-to-face. We used the Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS), New Questionnaire of Tolerance for Uncertainty, Personal Decision-Making Factors, and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EmIn). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes established the four-factor structure of the questionnaire similar to the original. We found pairs of correlating scales that demonstrate emotional rejection of uncertainty and cognitive productive acceptance. Negative Attitude towards Uncertainty and Emotional Stress Vulnerability was higher in individuals with lower emotional intelligence, willingness to take risks, and tolerance for uncertainty. Problem Solving Self-Efficacy and Imaginative Capability correlated with emotional intelligence, willingness to take risks, and tolerance for uncertainty. The Russian version of SRIS has good psychometric characteristics, and we recommend it as a reliable tool to diagnose a person’s attitude towards uncertainty and risk; however, the understanding of subjective risk intelligence as a personal or cognitive characteristic is unclear.

(1) Background: University transition is a critical step in career construction due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of socioeconomic conditions; these conditions compel people to manage a greater quantity of perceived risks associated with their career projects than in the past, and to face unexpected situations that could compromise their quality of life in educational and work contexts. After all, experiencing well-being during the university path can undoubtedly affect the visions of one’s future work, especially when a transition period is nearby. The present study aimed to explore the role of subjective risk intelligence in expectations about future work, analyzing the potential mediational role of academic satisfaction in this relationship. (2) Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out on 352 Italian university students at the end of the degree course. We used the following measures: in T1, Subjective risk intelligence scale, College Satisfaction scale; in T2, three items assessing the expectations about future work. (3) Results: The main findings showed that subjective risk intelligence has both direct and indirect effects (through the mediation of college satisfaction) on the expectations about future work. (4) Conclusions: The ability to manage risks, also through the contribution of domain-specific satisfaction, can lead to positive expectations toward one’s future work. This could increase the likelihood to perform career-related behaviors in a more proactive way if people have high risk management skills and high levels of academic satisfaction with their university path during transition.

The Relationship

In a risk society, personal values can be important resources, useful for managing uncertainty and guiding people in the perception of risk. The goal of this article is to explore the relationship between risk intelligence and personal values. The participants were 731 Italian adults aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 30.25; DS = 10.71). The survey was composed of the following measures: Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale and Portrait Values Questionnaire. Data analyses have found significant relationships between some types of personal values and risk intelligence: subjective risk intelligence is negatively related to conservation and positively related to openness to change and self-transcendence, but it was not related to self-enhancement. Furthermore, values of openness to change and self-transcendence mediate the relationship between age and subjective risk intelligence, while conservation values and self-enhancement values did not mediate the same relationship. Implication for practice and future research will be discussed.
