Positive and negative risk-taking and decision-making in the Balloon Emotional Learning Task (Belt)
Unlike negative risk-taking, positive risk-taking is thought to support young people’s desire for exploration and novelty in socially acceptable and developmentally appropriate ways. Although positive risk-taking is hypothesized to reflect a more optimal pattern of decision-making in the real world, scholars have yet to establish this behaviorally in the lab. In the present study, we assessed negative (e.g., substance use, shoplifting, getting in…
Psychological profiles associated with positive and negative risk-taking in adults
Although risk is often considered in the context of maladaptive behaviors, risks can also be positive, allowing individuals to pursue meaningful goals in a socially accepted way. In this study, we were interested in examining psychological profiles associated with positive and negative risk-taking in adults ( N = 275, ages 19–71 years, M = 39.25; SD = 13.73) using latent profile analysis. Specifically, we examined whether distinct profiles of psy…
Positive and negative risk-taking in adolescents and adults – what we already know
As many risks may have detrimental outcomes to people’s health or well-being, risk-taking is often viewed as negative. This negative bias has been present in scientific research, particularly on adolescent risk-taking. However, recent attention has been given to the fact that many risks taken by adolescents and adults are beneficial for their development and well-being and are accepted and supported by society. This article reviews the current li…
Is the impact of high reward sensitivity and poor cognitive control on adolescent risk-taking more visible in rewarding conditions
Adolescents are expected to take more risks than adults. The presented study was designed to determine whether adolescent risk-taking results from high reward sensitivity and poor cognitive control. In particular, we aimed to examine whether the impact of these variables is more visible in rewarding than non-rewarding conditions. Ninety adolescents (aged 13–16) and 95 young adults (aged 20–28) took part in the study. We used a driving task in rew…
In search of the functional base of risk-taking
This study is aimed at challenging the notion that risk-taking is based merely on some mechanistic foundation like control deficiencies or process imbalances. We hypothesize that risk-taking has an adaptive function and is an optimal strategy for an agent who (1) has scarce knowledge about the current environment or (2) is in a position in which a potential loss is not threatening. We argue that the two above are related to age which, in turn, ma…
Positive and negative risk taking in adolescence
Despite empirical and epidemiological research indicating that risk taking propensity increases across adolescence, it is unknown whether this is true for positive risk taking. Additionally, adolescents' decisions are heavily influenced by their social environment, but it is unclear to what extent social influences are associated with positive risk taking. The present study compared age patterns between self-reported positive and negative (health…
Behave yourself! NAS-50 as a reliable tool for assessment of adolescent self-control
Self-control is a complex and multifaceted construct that can be regarded as an individual trait that follows its own developmental trajectory. In the presented study we used NAS-50 for the assessment of self-control in adolescents and young adults. Since the questionnaire has not been used before in underage participants we tested its reliability in adolescent and adult samples. We also investigated possible age and gender differences in self-co…
