Author	Skonieczny, Nicole Michelle, 1987-
Title	The Relation Between Cognitive Style, Personality Type, and Risk-Taking Behaviors
Resource Type	Text
Abstract	Emerging adulthood is a difficult time for many individuals. Research has shown that late adolescence is a period of time known for increased risk-taking in individuals. There are many interrelated factors that influence an individual's likelihood to engage in risk-taking behaviors. Cognitive style has been defined as the consistent way in which people process and organize information. These styles are viewed as relatively stable dispositions that lead to behavioral differences in the decision-making process. Differences in personality and learning styles have been related to level of risk that an individual is willing to take. Past studies have shown that personality and cognitive style are very important in the decision-making process, but important questions remain unanswered. The reasons for increased risk-taking and sensation seeking in this age group have never been fully understood. The present study measured individual characteristics and how these affected participants' likelihood of engaging in risk. Participants in the present study were asked to complete psychological instruments which measure thinking styles, personality type, risk-taking behaviors, and sensation seeking. There was a total of 78 participants; 56 females, 18 males, and 4 participants who chose not to disclose their gender. Data showed a significant association between personality type and cognitive style. Although there was no observed interaction effect between personality type, cognitive style, and risk-taking, the effect size of the interaction was moderate. This suggests that with a larger sample size a significant interaction would be found.
