TL;DR

In examining the associations of critical thinking skills and risk-taking behavior, scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale, Form V, Rotter's I-E Scale, and the Cornell Critical Thinking Scale confirm earlier research on sensation seeking in pointing to gender differences that predict more risk- taking behavior by men than women.

Abstract

In examining the associations of critical thinking skills and risk-taking behavior, scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale, Form V, Rotter's I-E Scale, and the Cornell Critical Thinking Scale confirm earlier research on sensation seeking in pointing to gender differences that predict more risk-taking behavior by men (n = 52) than women (n = 48).
