The main objective of this study is to justify the necessity of developing a conceptual framework on risk-taking behaviours of adolescents while using the Internet in Bangladesh. In all, 507 adolescents participated in a survey on risk-taking behaviours using the Internet. The risks were classified into three categories, namely, risk-taking behaviours in general, risk-taking behaviours due to c...

A cross-sectional study with children's and parents' self-completed questionnaires was carried out to evaluate parents' ideas on children's risk-takjng behaviours and children's risky activities after school hours by age (7 and 9 years) and sex. Nine elementary schools were randomly selected and 476 pupHs aged seven and nine years and 471 parents were studied. Most parents (90.1 %) believed tha...

INTRODUCTION Contrary to predictions, several studies have shown that people who consume alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) display low odds of risk-taking during AmED versus alcohol drinking sessions. However, these results are based on treating AmED consumers as a homogeneous group. The aim of the present study was to determine typologies of AmED risk-taking behaviour amongst consumers, ...

Frontal asymmetry measured at rest using EEG is considered a stable marker of approach-avoidance behaviors and risk taking. We examined whether without salient cues of attention in the form of losses, predictability is reduced. Fifty-seven participants performed an experiential decision task in a gain-only, loss-only, and mixed (gains and losses) condition. Increased risk taking on the part of ...

Past empirical work suggests that aging is associated with decreases in risk taking. But are such effects universal? Life-history theory suggests that the link between age and risk taking is a function of specific reproductive strategies that can be more or less risky depending on the ecology. We assessed variation in the age-risk curve using World Values Survey data from 77 countries (N = 147,...
