Associations between the Big Five personality traits and everyday and experimental risk taking: A literature review in adolescence and adulthood

Résumé

This article presents a literature review of studies examining the influence of Big Five personality traits on everyday and experimental risk-taking, both in adolescence and adulthood. The results show that extraversion is systematically linked to engagement in various risk-taking behaviors, while the other personality traits show differentiated effects depending on the risk-taking context studied. This review highlights the convergences and divergences in the findings of the literature, offering an analysis of the theoretical and practical implications. It also suggests ways of intervening to promote positive risk-taking behaviors, depending on personality, while reducing engagement in negative risk-taking behaviors. In addition, this literature review highlights the lack of longitudinal studies and the low diversity of samples, shortcomings that limit our understanding of the influence of personality traits on risk-taking.
