摘要: Predictions of fuzzy-trace theory and neurobiological approaches are examined regarding risk taking in a classic decision-making task-the framing task-as well as the context real-life taking. We report 1st study effects adolescents versus adults, varying reward, relate choices to individual differences, sexual behavior, behavioral intentions. As predicted by theory, modulated according reward. Adults showed standard framing, reflecting greater emphasis on gist-based (qualitative) reasoning, but displayed reverse when potential gains for were high, verbatim-based (quantitative) reasoning. Reverse signals different way thinking compared with (reverse also differs from simply choosing risky option). Measures verbatim- reasoning about risk, sensation seeking, activation, inhibition used extract dimensions proneness: Sensation seeking increased then decreased, whereas early adolescence young adulthood, theories. Two additional dimensions, loaded separately unique variance Importantly, responses Reasoning was most consistent predictor taking: (a) Intentions have sex, number partners decreased triggered retrieval cues questions perceived (b) intentions sex risk.
