description Risk-taking behavior of 49 boys referred to a physical developmental clinic and 23 boys in a control group was measured on a 10-toggle-switch apparatus. Subjects were tested prior to a 6-week clinic program and immediately after. As hypothesized, initially clinic subjects were more frequently low risk takers than were nonreferred control subjects. Clinic Ss showed significant change toward optimal risk taking in postclinic evaluation; control Ss' changes were nonsignificant.
