Changes in Risk Taking Propensity Resulting from a Ropes Course Experience.
MacRae, Sherry; And Others
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v10 n2 p10-13 Sum 1993
Male firefighters participated in a standard or modified ropes course to determine if risk-taking propensity might change as a result of adventure training. The expectation that a modified course simulating real firefighting would better transfer such training to the workplace was not substantiated. Both samples increased their risk-taking propensity as a result of the course. (TD)
