risk taking

Risk-taking in driving: an individual's deliberate willingness to accept hazard for a goal — the cognitive-motivational appraisal that weighs perceived risk against expected payoff and tolerates the residual danger (risk perception, risk tolerance, calculated gap acceptance, deliberate violations). The decision to accept risk, distinct from sensation_seeking, which is the underlying personality need for arousal that motivates risk, and from aggressive_driving, which is the overt hostile behavior; risk_taking is the appraisal/choice layer beneath both.
