Game Board

An experiment was performed to test the validity of a game board designed to measure risk-taking behavior. 18 college students were placed in weak, moderate and strong power conditions with the hypothesis that the number of risks taken would be inversely related to the degree of power. The results supported the hypothesis, suggesting that the use of this game board is worthwhile in the study of risk-taking behavior. No sex differences were found.

Framing uncertain scenarios to emphasize potential positive or negative elements influences decision making and behavior. The current experiment investigated sex differences in framing effects on risk-taking propensity in a modified version of the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). Male and female undergraduates completed questionnaires on sensation seeking, impulsiveness, and risk and benefit perception prior to viewing one of three framing conditions for the BART: (1) positively-framed instructions emphasizing the ability to earn money if balloons were inflated to large size; (2) negatively framed instructions emphasizing the possibility that money could be lost if balloons were inflated to bursting; and (3) completely framed instructions noting both possible outcomes. Results revealed correlations between BART performance and impulsiveness for both sexes. Compared to positive and complete framing, negatively framed instructions decreased balloon inflation time in women but not men, indicating sex differences in response to treatments designed to alter risk-taking behavior.

Risk Taking Behaviors

从青少年期冒险行为的界定和大学生心理发展特点入手，从心理学视角提出大学生冒险行为的几种可能解释，然后结合实际心理咨询案例片段，分析大学生冒险行为背后的心理动力，帮助咨询师更好地理解大学生冒险行为，让其积极价值得到充分发挥，尽可能减少其消极影响。 Starting from the definition of the Adolescent risk-taking behavior and the psychological characteristics of college students，several possible explanations for college students’ risk-taking behavior were proposed from a psychological perspective. Combined with the clinical case fragments of college psychological counseling，the psychological motivation behind the risk-taking behavior of college students was analyzed. It should help the counselors to better understand the risk-taking behaviors of college students. Its positive value would be brought into full play，and its negative effects would be reduced as much as possible.
