Abstract

Abstract. Risk-taking is a long-standing area of inquiry among psychologists and economists. In this paper, we examine the personality profile of risk-takers in two independent samples. Specifically, we examined the association between the Big Five facets and risk-taking propensity across two measures: The Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Scale (DOSPERT) and the General Risk Propensity Scale (GRiPS). At the Big Five domain level, we found that extraversion and agreeableness were the primary predictors of risk-taking. However, facet-level analyses revealed that responsibility, a facet of conscientiousness, explained most of the total variance accounted for by the Big Five in both risk-taking measures. Based on our findings across two samples ( n = 764), we find that the personality profile of a risk-taker is extraverted, open to experiences, disagreeable, emotionally stable, and irresponsible. Implications for the risk measurement are discussed.

风险承担者的个性特征

摘要长期以来，心理学家和经济学家一直在研究风险承担问题。在本文中，我们在两个独立的样本中检验了冒险者的人格特征。具体来说，我们通过两种测量方法检查了五大方面与冒险倾向之间的关系:特定领域风险承担量表(DOSPERT)和一般风险倾向量表(grip)。在五大领域层面，我们发现外向性和亲和性是冒险的主要预测因素。然而，方面层面的分析显示，责任，尽责性的一个方面，解释了五大因素在两种冒险措施中所占的大部分总差异。根据我们对两个样本(n = 764)的研究结果，我们发现冒险者的性格特征是外向的，乐于接受经验，不讨人喜欢，情绪稳定，不负责任。讨论了风险度量的含义。
