The tendency for occasional risk-taking was compared with the tendency for frequent risk-taking within a population of 201 young people. Positive affectivity, negative affectivity, sensation seeking, and risk-taking were measured for the domains of substance use, behavior on the road, sexual relations, and deviant behavior. The tendencies for occasional versus frequent risk-taking generalize across three of the four domains. Multivariate analysis show that demographics variables and personality traits do not predict the tendency for occasional risk-taking as well as they predict the tendency for frequent risk-taking. Furthermore, sensation seeking is the only trait linked to the tendency for occasional risk-taking in the domains of substance use and deviant behavior. The tendency for frequent risk-taking, notably in the domain of substance use, is predicted by age, sensation seeking, and negative affectivity. The other three domains are only predicted by sensation seeking. The results support the idea that the tendency for occasional risk-taking is distinct from the tendency for frequent risk-taking and that the two tendencies are not controlled by the same determinisms.
在201名年轻人中，对偶尔冒险倾向与频繁冒险倾向进行了比较。对物质使用、道路行为、性关系和越轨行为等领域测量了积极情感、消极情感、寻求刺激和冒险情况。偶尔冒险与频繁冒险的倾向在四个领域中的三个领域具有普遍性。多变量分析表明，人口统计学变量和人格特质对偶尔冒险倾向的预测效果不如对频繁冒险倾向的预测效果。此外，寻求刺激是物质使用和越轨行为领域中与偶尔冒险倾向相关的唯一特质。频繁冒险倾向，尤其是在物质使用领域，由年龄、寻求刺激和消极情感所预测。其他三个领域仅由寻求刺激所预测。结果支持了这样一种观点，即偶尔冒险倾向与频繁冒险倾向不同，且这两种倾向不由相同的决定因素所控制。
