Abstract
This paper considers how perceptions of costs and benefits can influence the association between personality and risky choice behaviour. We assessed perceptions and behaviours in six domains (ethical; investment; gambling; health and safety; recreational; social) using the DOSPERT and measured personality using the NEO PI-R. Results from structural equation modelling showed that personality had a direct effect on risky choice behaviour in four domains (social, ethical, gambling and recreational risk-taking). In addition, perceived costs and benefits mediated the relations between personality and risk-taking in the five domains (social, ethical, gambling, recreational and investment risk-taking). Evidence for a mechanism that integrates both direct and indirect effects of personality on behaviour is discussed.
