Abstract | Adults (N=96) from four age cohorts completed questionnaire consisting of 12 situations demanding choice between safe and risky option. One-half of choices involved potential losses, others involved potential gains. Found that older adults chose no more safe alternatives than did younger adults. Risk avoiding for all ages appeared to be influenced by parameters of choice situation. (Author/NB) |
