Risky Shift

Advisers are expected to be cautious. Typical instructions in research on risky shift induce the adviser role. However, subjects may take the role of the story's hero when they can identify with the hero. It is acceptable for people to be daring when acting for themselves. This hypothesis of a switch of set predicts that subjects should consider themselves more risky than the majority of their peers, a way of expressing the value of risk, when they are similar to the story's hero. High school students rated themselves and the majority on stories dealing with situations common to their age group and on stories dealing with adult problems. Sex of hero was also manipulated. Results supported the hypothesis of a switch of set. Subjects displaced themselves more when the situation was similar to those they might face; in addition, subjects displaced themselves more when the story's hero was of their sex. No sex differences in general tendency to risky displacement were found.

Risky Shift

An earlier study of group-induced shift toward risk was replicated by varying usual (risk-oriented) and neutral instructions orthogonally against 2 group conditions to induce shift toward risk. In agreement with the earlier study, (a) usual (risk-oriented) instructions produced a shift toward risk while neutral instructions did not and (b) the differential effect of experimental instructions was found to be located in the group process because “before” scores were unaffected.
