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.

冒险者的性格特征

摘要。冒险是心理学家和经济学家长期研究的领域。在本文中，我们在两个独立样本中检验了冒险者的性格特征。具体来说，我们通过两个衡量标准检查了大五方面与冒险倾向之间的关联：特定领域冒险量表 (DOSPERT) 和一般风险倾向量表 (GRiPS)。在大五域层面，我们发现外向性和随和性是冒险的主要预测因素。然而，层面分析表明，责任，即尽责性的一个方面，解释了五巨头在两种冒险措施中占总差异的大部分。根据我们对两个样本 (n = 764) 的发现，我们发现冒险者的性格特征是外向的，对经验开放，不愉快，情绪稳定，不负责任。讨论了风险测量的含义。
