This study assessed risk-taking behavior in a unique adolescent population: family members of active and retired military personnel. Significantly fewer adolescents in our group engaged in at-risk behaviors compared with national statistics, demonstrating the need for further research.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Risk-taking behavior has been shown to be associated with adolescent pregnancy or childbearing. However, the specific risk-taking behavioral factors and the extent to which they are associated with adolescent childbearing is less clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk-taking behavioral factors associated with adolescent childbearing. METHODS In this ...

Purpose – The aim of this paper was to investigate the role of perceived organizational support (POS) for employee risk-taking through its association with greater trust among supervisors and subordinates that the organization will take into account the individual’s intent to be helpful in the case of failure (failure-related trust). Design/methodology/approach – Data were obtained from 346 emp...

this work concerns the situations in which the framing effects emerge. this has not been an established feature in different studies, so the reasons for its variations have been the subject of various studies since 1980s. present study aimed to determine the variables affecting the feature as well as to address the controversies exist on how these variables affect it. 551 students from engineer...

White matter development is important for efficient communication between brain regions, higher order cognitive functioning, and complex behaviors. Adolescents have a higher propensity for engaging in risky behaviors, yet few studies have explored associations between white matter integrity and risk taking directly. Altered white matter integrity in mid-adolescence was hypothesized to predict s...

We study two distinct effects of local religions on organizational risk-taking: religious beliefs share a common aversion to pure risk but have diverging attitudes toward speculative risk. As predicted, we find that mutual fund managers’ speculative risk-taking behaviors vary with specific local religious beliefs – funds in low-Protestant (or high-Catholic) areas have higher return volatilities...
