    "In accordance with Atkinson’s risk preference theory, we see the  conduct within risk situations as a result of opposite tendencies  between risk and prudence orientation. In order to asses risk attitude,  we designed a system made up of three specific indicators, based on a  genuine interpretation of AC-REF (ACceptance-REFusal) values inventory  (Zorgo, 1977).  Risk significance (as a physical threat, danger for life or health) of  the 272 AC-REF items has been subjected to an evaluation on a 1 to 10  scale, by a sample of 96 subjects. Following this procedure, 43 items  with risk significance and 36 items with prudence significance were  chosen. A sample of 1168 subjects has been evaluated with a computerized  version of AC-REF inventory. Risk\\prudence orientation modes have been  calculated as a pondered sum of the transformed values of the items  having risk\\prudence significance. A composed indicator, meaning  risk\\prudence balance attitude, has been computed as difference between  the two primary indicators. The three indicators, as three specific  modes of risk attitude (risk preference, prudence preference, and risk  \\prudence balance), show very good psychometric features. The diagnostic  (construct) validity of these indicators was tested against some major  questionnaires such ALAPS (Armstrong Laboratory Aviation Personality  Survey), Cattell 16PF, and Eysenck Personality Inventory. First of all,  we got consistent and significant correlations between risk attitude  mode indicators and some of the ALAPS scales, especially for “risk  taking”. The other questionnaires also show significant association with  these indicators. The three modal indicators show significant  variations as far as psychosomatic type is concerned, but also related  to age and gender."
