Risk-Taking in Explanation of Biological Events
Horn, Jerry G.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 10, 4, 341-346, 73
Studied relationships of achievement motivation, information status, and group discussion arrangements to risk-taking behaviors for six high school biology classes, using the Extremity-Confidence of Hypothesis Test and Risk-Taking Verbal Observation Scale. Concluded that risk-taking was a multidimensional trait and might be influenced by differential treatments. (CC)
