个人个性特征和冒险倾向之间的联系是有据可查的。最近的理论表明，自我调节控制的个体差异这一特殊特征也可以解释参与高风险活动的原因，自我调节能力差会增加风险参与的可能性(Byrnes，1998,2005；Steinberg，2004,2005)。在本研究中，134名大学生(男45名，女89名；平均年龄20.87岁)完成了情绪调节自评量表(情绪调节问卷)、认知调节问卷(执行困难问卷)和冒险行为问卷(吸烟与饮酒调查、青年决策问卷、本辛风险知觉问卷)。较差的认知自律或执行功能与假想情节中描绘的高风险活动(如喜悦骑马、入店行窃)的更多认可有关，过度强调与高风险活动相关的好处，以及与过度饮酒相关的问题发生率更高。相比之下，糟糕的情绪调节方式预示着更多人会参与吸烟等危险行为，以及打架和争吵等由酒精引发的问题行为。对认知和情绪调节的评估可能会提高对危险行为原因的理解。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The link between individual personality traits and risk-taking propensity is well documented. Recent theories suggest that one particular trait, individual differences in self-regulatory control, might also explain engagement in risky activities, with poor self-regulatory competence increasing the likelihood of risk participation (Byrnes, 1998, 2005; Steinberg, 2004, 2005). In the current study, 134 undergraduate students (45 males, 89 females; mean age 20.87 years) completed self-report measures of emotion regulation (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire), cognitive regulation (Dysexecutive Questionnaire), and risk-taking (Smoking & Drinking Survey, Youth Decision-Making Questionnaire, Benthin Risk Perception Measure). Poor cognitive self-regulation, or executive function, was linked to greater endorsement of risky activities portrayed in hypothetical vignettes (e.g. joy riding, shoplifting), an over-emphasis of the benefits associated with risky activities, and a higher incidence of problems associated with excessive alcohol consumption. In contrast, poor styles of emotion regulation predicted greater participation in risky behaviours such as cigarette smoking, as well as alcohol induced problem behaviours such as fighting and arguing. Assessment of cognitive and emotional regulation may improve understanding of the causes of risky behaviours. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
