Abstract:

Risk-taking is an integral part of human nature which incites rewarding exploration and facilitates individual growth. However, excessive risk-taking can lead to dire outcomes. Anecdotally, extreme risk-taking behaviors often begin as small, seemingly harmless, acts that snowball. Here we use a gambling task (Experiment 1) as well as Virtual Reality combined with GSR recording (Experiment 2) to provide empirical evidence for a gradual escalation of risk-taking and reveal a mechanism supporting it. Behaviorally, we show that the extent to which participants engage in risk-taking increases with repetition. Our pilot results show that reduced physiological arousal is sensitive to the history of risk-taking, consistent with habituation. The extent of physiological reduction was associated with the increase in risk-taking. These preliminary findings suggest a role for emotional habituation in risk escalation. The findings can inform the development of interventions to curb dangerous risk-taking and prevention programs for vulnerable populations.
