Abstract

A group of rock climbers were classified into two categories, deliberate or precautionary risk-takers, using the Risk-Taking Inventory (RTI). The aim of the study was to determine if these categories played a role in sensation-seeking behaviour. The study also aimed to determine if the type of risk-taking behaviour correlated with the number of injuries sustained by the participants. The study was quantitative in nature and an exploratory design was used. A sample of 70 rock climbers from the Mountain Club of South Africa participated. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the RTI and the Sensation Seeking Scale-V. Non-parametric statistics were used. The results revealed statistically significant differences between the two risk-taking groups on the total score of the Sensation Seeking Scale-V and its subscales of Disinhibition and Boredom Susceptibility. No significant correlations were observed between the RTI groups and the number of injuries sustained. A significant positive correlation was, however, found between the number of injuries and number of years rock climbing. The results indicated that being a precautionary or deliberate risk-taker will have an impact on rock climbers’ sensation-seeking behaviour but will have no effect on the number of injuries these groups sustain.

攀岩者:与寻求刺激有关的有意或预防性的冒险者

根据风险承担清单(RTI)，一组攀岩者被分为两类，故意冒险者和预防性冒险者。这项研究的目的是确定这些类别是否在寻求感觉的行为中起作用。这项研究还旨在确定冒险行为的类型是否与参与者受伤的次数有关。本研究为定量研究，采用探索性设计。来自南非山地俱乐部的70名攀岩者参与了这项研究。参与者完成了一份人口调查问卷，RTI和感觉寻求量表- v。采用非参数统计。结果显示，两个冒险组在感觉寻求量表- v及其去抑制和无聊敏感性子量表的总分上存在统计学上的显著差异。RTI组与持续损伤数之间无显著相关性。然而，在受伤次数和攀岩年数之间发现了显著的正相关。结果表明，作为一个预防性的或故意的冒险者会对攀岩者寻求刺激的行为产生影响，但对这些群体遭受的伤害数量没有影响。

期刊介绍： The South African Journal for Research in Sport, Physical education and Recreation (SAJRSPER) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, commentaries, and letters on topics related to Sport and Exercise science, Physical education and Recreation. This includes research of topics such as bio-mechanics, motor control, sport injuries and rehabilitation, clinical exercise interventions, physical education, as well as outdoor and recreation related topics. Material that is particularly unique and relevant to the subject content at an international and national level would be considered.
