Items included: - I enjoy being reckless (R) - I take risks (R) - I seek danger (R) - I seek adventure (R) - I would never go hang-gliding or bungee jumping - I would never make a high risk investment Coefficient for this scale was .82. </blockquote> I ran these from the [[https://ipip.ori.org/newJPI-RKey.htm|IPIP (risk taking)]] (cite as: IPIP Risk-Taking scale (Goldberg, 1999, Jackson, 1994)) : <blockquote> - I enjoy being reckless - I take risks - I seek danger - I seek adventure - I am willing to try anything once - I would never make a high risk investment (R) - I avoid dangerous situations (R) - I do crazy things </blockquote> I personally used a Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). <code> recode risktaking_6 risktaking_7 (1=7) (2=6) (3=5) (4=4) (5=3) (6=2) (7=1) (ELSE=SYSMIS) into risktaking_6r risktaking_7r. compute risktaking=mean(risktaking_1, risktaking_2, risktaking_3, risktaking_4, risktaking_5, risktaking_6r, risktaking_7r, risktaking_8).
