Abstract
This experimental study examines the influence of dogmatism on risk‐taking behavior for both groups and individuals. Subjects completed a measure of dogmatism and an initial measure of risk‐taking. Groups composed of high, moderate, and low dogmatic subjects participated in problem‐solving discussions in which group risk‐taking was observed. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for developing an improved risky‐shift paradigm.Keywords
