Abstract

Abstract We investigate differences in perceived danger and recklessness judgements by experts (experienced skiers, ) and laypeople ( ) about participation in adventure sports across the same judgemental task using a third person perspective. We investigate the relationship between danger and recklessness and the extent to which fatality frequency, as well as other contextual factors such as gender, dependants, competence, and motivations of the sports participant affect expert and laypeople judgements respectively. Experienced skiers gave lower overall danger and recklessness ratings than non-skiers. Experienced skiers’ judgements were also more sensitive than non-skiers’ to variations in the fatality rate of the activity and the competence level of the participant, yet were less sensitive to whether the event was done for external benefit such as a charity. Recklessness judgements were overall more sensitive to changes in activity descriptions than danger judgements. Our findings support the emerging picture of adventure sports participants as rational and sensitive to risk-relevant features rather than somehow pathological in their risk perception.

对冒险运动中危险和鲁莽行为的专家和外行判断

摘要本研究采用第三人称视角研究了专家(经验丰富的滑雪者)和外行人(外行人)在参与冒险运动时感知危险和鲁莽判断的差异。我们调查了危险和鲁莽之间的关系，以及死亡频率的程度，以及其他背景因素，如性别、家属、能力和运动参与者的动机，分别影响专家和外行人的判断。经验丰富的滑雪者给危险和鲁莽的总体评分低于非滑雪者。经验丰富的滑雪者的判断也比非滑雪者对活动的死亡率和参与者的能力水平的变化更为敏感，但对该活动是否为慈善事业等外部利益而进行的判断则不那么敏感。总体而言，鲁莽判断比危险判断对活动描述的变化更敏感。我们的研究结果支持了冒险运动参与者对风险相关特征的理性和敏感，而不是他们在风险感知上的某种病态。
