Title / Titel Juvenile Risk Handling
PDF Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung The study investigates how young people conceptualize risks and how they deal with them. The aim of this study is to assess adolescents' basic cognitive competencies in detecting, considering, and integrating risk-relevant factors and to investigate how their knowledge translates into action in various contexts. Of major interest is why, at this age, there often is a remarkable incongruence between knowledge and action, and if so, how this discrepancy can be reduced.
