本研究（N = 86）旨在评估基于实验室的冒险行为测量（气球模拟风险任务；BART），并测试该测量与风险相关结构的自我报告测量以及自我报告的现实世界风险行为之间的关联。 BART 证明了良好的实验特性，BART 的风险与感觉寻求、冲动和行为约束缺陷的测量得分相关。此外，BART 的风险与自我报告的成瘾、健康和安全风险行为的发生相关，任务对这些行为的方差的解释超出了人口统计学和风险相关结构的自我报告测量所解释的范围。这些结果表明 BART 可能是评估风险承担的有用工具。
The present study (N = 86) sought to evaluate a laboratory-based behavioral measure of risk taking (the Balloon Analogue Risk Task; BART) and to test associations between this measure and self-report measures of risk-related constructs as well as self-reported real-world risk behaviors. The BART evidenced sound experimental properties, and riskiness on the BART was correlated with scores on measures of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and deficiencies in behavioral constraint. Also, riskiness on the BART was correlated with the self-reported occurrence of addictive, health, and safety risk behaviors, with the task accounting for variance in these behaviors beyond that accounted for by demographics and self-report measures of risk-related constructs. These results indicate that the BART may be a useful tool in the assessment of risk taking.
