The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) was administered to a sample of 26 high school‐aged adolescents to test the utility of the BART as a behavioural measure of risk‐taking propensity. Data indicate that riskyness on the BART was related to self‐reported engagement in real‐world risk‐taking behaviours. These data replicate and uniquely extend past research to an adolescent sample, suggesting that the BART may be a useful addition to self‐report batteries for the assessment of risk‐taking behaviours in adolescents.
