Early Childhood Teachers' Beliefs about Children's Risky Play in Australia and Norway (2012, background): “Within the developmental psychology literature, ‘risk-taking’ is usually defined as the engagement in behaviours that are associated with some probability of negative outcomes (Boyer, 2006).”
Risk aversion relates to cognitive ability: Preferences or Noise? (2016, background): “In line with this interpretation, a survey of the psychological development literature (Boyer 2006, p. 334) concludes that “the probability of risk-taking behaviors decreases as cognitive capacities and emotional regulation skills improve”.”
Individual Differences in Risky Decision Making: A Meta‐analysis of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (2014, background): “…personality were focused on self-report measures of risk-related traits, such as sensation seeking and impulsivity, to understand and explain individual differences in real-world risky behaviors (e.g., Boyer, 2006; De Wit, 2009; Verdejo-Garcia, Lawrence, & Clark, 2008; Zuckerman & Kuhlman, 2000).”
Affective and deliberative processes in risky choice: age differences in risk taking in the Columbia Card Task. (2009, methodology): “…risk-taking behaviors, such as the use of licit and illicit substances, dangerous behavior in traffic, unsafe sexual practices, delinquent behaviors, and risky recreational sports (Boyer, 2006; Casey, Getz, & Galvan, 2008; Reyna & Farley, 2006; Rivers, Reyna, & Mills, 2008; Steinberg, 2008).”
Adolescent risky decision-making: Neurocognitive development of reward and control regions (2010, background): “This finding is not uncommon, other studies have also failed to report this peak behaviorally (Van Leijenhorst et al., 2008), and more often linear changes in risk-taking behavior (Crone et al., 2008) are reported (see also Boyer, 2006 for a review).”
Ten Ways to Restrict Children's Freedom to Play: The Problem of Surplus Safety (2010, unknown): “It is clear that risk-taking in play is part of normal development, has large individual variation, and is essential for growth and development of infants and children (e.g. Boyer, 2006).”
