Chapter 1: What Is Risk Taking Behavior'

This chapter outlines risk behavior. Adventure is a consciously or unconsciously controlled act that results in the recognition of uncertainty or the benefits or costs of physical or economic or psychosocial well-being of one's own or another person.

Adventure is related to acts seeking excitement and seeking sensations. This means that people are at risk because of the excitement that people bring. As mentioned earlier, the definition of Zackman's recognized risk-taking behavior is not an essential part and people are willing to only adventure to experience this feeling.

Numerical estimation of the probability of actual risk to the risk recognized as an event is influenced by cultural factors. Adventure tourism (bungee jumping, roughtens, paragliding etc.)
