Abstract: The risk-taking performance of reducers and augmenters of kinesthetic perception was examined under both low and high risk conditions. Twenty subjects were grouped as reducers and augmenters according to scores on a kinesthetic perception test and then tested on risk taking by use of a lighting panel designed to present both low and high risk conditions. Significant differences were found between the risk conditions and a groups-by-risk interaction was also significant. Certain non-significant trends were also reported with respect to risk-taking behavior. Findings support the hypothesis that reducers and augmenters perform differently in low and high risk conditions.
