“…Our results are also informative in terms of one of the initial goals of the BART, which was to identify risk takers (Lejuez et al, , , Pleskac et al, ). Whereas the BART is often found to correlate with risk taking outside the lab (e.g., Aklin et al, ; Hopko et al, ; Lejuez et al, , ; Skeel et al, ), there are also reports that the BART can have limited convergent validity with other behavioral measures or risk taking (Frey et al, ; Pedroni, Frey, Bruhin, Dutilh, Hertwig, & Rieskamp, ), as well as with self‐reported measures of real‐life behaviors (e.g., Ba, Peng, Salvendy, & Crundall, ; Coffey, Schumacher, Baschnagel, Hawk, & Holloman, ; Frey et al, ; Le Bas, Hughes, & Stout, ; van Ravenzwaaij, Dutilh, & Wagenmakers, ). Our results suggest that to a certain degree, these somewhat inconsistent results could be due to particular task designs.…”

Risk‐taking behavior is rarely a single action made in isolation but is often repeated and dynamic. Yet the role that risk perceptions play in risk taking have often been studied using descriptions of isolated single‐shot activities. To better understand the link between risk perceptions and risk‐taking behavior, we investigated risk perception in a dynamic choice environment, the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). In the BART, participants repeatedly inflate a virtual balloon earning points if the balloon does not explode. Across two studies, we measured risk perceptions by asking people to estimate the probability that the balloon would explode at different levels of inflation. Our results show that the probability ratings deviate both from the actual probabilities of an explosion and from those predicted by the most successful cognitive model of the BART. Yet the probability estimates correlated with the actual choice behavior. Moreover, we found that the very first experience in the BART was a critical factor in determining the perceptions of the risks in the task, and in turn subsequent risk‐taking behavior. Taken together, the results help reveal the critical role that risk perceptions play in risky behavior and potentially can be used to improve our ability to identify real‐world risk takers.

“…Não obstante, a impulsividade tem sido associada às decisões desvantajosas no IGT, porque dificulta a aprendizagem, torna os indivíduos mais sensíveis à recompensa e é um sintoma de outras perturbações associadas ao mau desempenho na tarefa (Cackowski et al, 2014;Davis, Patte, Tweed, & Curtis, 2007;Kertzman, Kagan, Vainder, Lapidus, & Weizman, 2013;Takano, Takahashi, Tanaka, & Hironaka, 2010;Upton, Bishara, Ahn, & Stout, 2011;Stevens et al, 2015). A investigação sobre a importância dessa variável no desempenho no IGT, no entanto, tem mostrado resultados inconsistentes (Davis et al, 2007;Le Bas, Hughes, & Stout, 2015;Upton et al, 2011), particularmente em amostras não clínicas Goudriaan, Grekin, & Sher, 2007;Penolazzi, Leone, & Russo, 2013), podendo inclusive estar relacionada com os ciclos menstruais / balanços hormonais (Derntl, Pintzinger, Kryspin-Exner, &, Schöpf, 2014, Evans & Hampson, 2014Iannello, Biassoni, Nelli, Zugno, & Colombo, 2015) ou até perceções subjetivas de fome (de Ridder, Kroese, Adriaanse, &Evers, 2014).…”

RESUMO O Iowa GamblingTask (IGT), apesar de amplamente utilizado na avaliação da tomada de decisão, apresenta uma grande variabilidade nos resultados. Pretende-se com este trabalho proceder a uma revisão integrativa da literatura que relacione a personalidade com o desempenho no IGT, de modo a identificar o papel dessa variável nesse desempenho. Para o efeito, foram selecionados e analisados 74 estudos referenciados na Web of Science e na b-on. Os resultados evidenciam alguma inconsistência e algumas relações não lineares entre variáveis, embora o mau desempenho no IGT surja associado mais frequentemente à dimensão neuroticismo, ansiedade, impulsividade, variáveis socioeconômicas e ao fator antissociabilidade na psicopatia e dependência de substâncias. À luz desses resultados, sugerem-se algumas orientações para a pesquisa na área.

“…Thus, decision making represents an interesting topic in the field of road safety. For instance, a number of studies ( French et al, 1993 ; Farah et al, 2008 ; Lev et al, 2008 ; Le Bas et al, 2015 ; Ba et al, 2016 ) have tried to investigate the link between non-contextual decision making and the task-specific decision-making skills involved in driving behaviors. Farah et al (2008) used a driving simulator to assess the association between driving behavior and IGT performance.…”

“…On the other hand, mixed findings were reported when risky driving was measured through questionnaires. For instance Ba et al (2016) found that riskier drivers tended to pick cards from decks in which the penalties were small (although more frequent) in the IGT, independently from the overall net gain, whereas Le Bas et al (2015) failed in founding relations between IGT performance and on-road risky behaviors. One limitation of the IGT that could explain the inconsistency in the data is the fact that participants’ personality and mood seem to affect their performance in the IGT as well ( Buelow and Suhr, 2009 ).…”

“…As explained in the section “Introduction,” we considered that among the wide variety of risky driving predictors, non-contextual decision making is one of the most interesting. Indeed, the results regarding the relationship between decision making and risky driving, although sometimes controversial, seem to suggest that worse non-contextual decision-making skills correspond to riskier on-road behaviors ( French et al, 1993 ; Farah et al, 2008 ; Lev et al, 2008 ; Le Bas et al, 2015 ; Ba et al, 2016 ), assessed either with self-report tools or with driving simulators. On the other hand, there is evidence that sensation seeking may be involved in decision-making tasks, such as the IGT ( Crone et al, 2003 ; Linnet et al, 2006 ; Buelow and Suhr, 2013 ).…”

Sensation Seeking, Non-contextual Decision Making, and Driving Abilities As Measured through a Moped Simulator

et al. 2017

The general aim of the present study was to explore the relations between driving style (assessed through a moped riding simulator) and psychological variables such as sensation seeking and decision making. Because the influences of sensation seeking and decision making on driving styles have been studied separately in the literature, we have tried to investigate their mutual relations so as to include them in a more integrated framework. Participants rode the Honda Riding Trainer (HRT) simulator, filled in the Sensation Seeking Scale V (SSS V), and performed the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). A cluster analysis of the HRT riding indexes identified three groups: Prudent, Imprudent, and Insecure riders. First, the results showed that Insecure males seek thrills and adventure less than both Prudent males and Insecure females, whereas Prudent females are less disinhibited than both Prudent males and Insecure females. Moreover, concerning the relations among SSS, decision making as measured by the IGT, and riding performance, high thrill and adventure seekers performed worse in the simulator only if they were also bad decision makers, indicating that these two traits jointly contribute to the quality of riding performance. From an applied perspective, these results also provide useful information for the development of protocols for assessing driving abilities among novice road users. Indeed, the relation between risk proneness and riding style may allow for the identification of road-user populations who require specific training.
