abstract = {Composed entirely of previously unpublished material, this book offers a meticulously researched and illuminating inquiry into the problem of how man thinks. Cutting across traditional boundaries in psychology, it demonstrates how a risk-taking conceptualization can integrate concepts and findings previously classified under such separate headings as motivation, personality, social psychology, cognition and judgment, thinking, and intelligence. In exploring the question of what can be learned about the psychology of thinking from concepts drawn from the study of risk taking, the authors (1) investigate risk taking as it operates within a motivational context, (2) study the meaning of generality and specificity in risk-taking behavior, (3) examine relationships with cognitive-judgmental and intellective ability behaviors, (4) consider how different individuals react to the consequences their decisions generate, (5) evaluate the influence of personality in steering persons toward risk or conservatism.
