abstract="72 male motorcyclists between 17 and 28 years old were assessed for risk taking personality characteristics using the Venturesomness scale of the Impulsiveness Questionnaire. The sample had similar levels of Venturesomness to their peers, and there was no relationship between Venturesomness and measures of accident frequency. This suggests that the popular myth of the reckless motorcyclist may be ill founded, although this conclusion must be tentative due to the lack of validity studies for the Impulsiveness Questionnaire.   <p>Language: en</p>",
