Zusammenfassung: | T behavior refers to individual differences in thrill-seeking (T) and risk-taking behavior. This study was designed to explore and expand the understanding of self-reported T behavior in relation to flourishing, mindset, psychological entitlement, creativity, and stress. This on-line study used both college student (
n
= 248) and non-college adult (
n
= 224) samples, prompted by the need to examine psychological phenomena beyond the usual college undergraduate sample. Results showed complex relationships of T behavior to the other indices, with several differences attributable to gender, age, and student/non-student status. It was found that the college sample had a higher level of T behavior, higher level of psychological entitlement, a more malleable mindset, and was more stressed. Flourishing was found to highly predict T behavior in the non-college males. The results have expanded our understanding of T behavior, enriching its description and discerning provocative new relationships among some of the studied non-T variables themselves. Findings are further discussed in the article. |
