Abstract

Risk taking in civilian and military settings often results in unnecessary loss of lives and equipment. The present research investigates the contribution of three cognitive styles to risky behaviour under varying task load conditions. The research is further concerned with uncovering relationships between these cognitive styles and physiological arousal (cardio-vascular response) as interactive sources of risky actions.
