Variable note:
This variable is related to scriskb. Both share the same question wording, "Are you generally a person who is fully prepared to take risks in trusting strangers or do you try to avoid taking such risks?" and the same mode (self-completion). However, the response scales differ slightly: riskb uses a scale from 1 (unwilling to take risks in trusting strangers) to 10 (prepared to take risks in trusting strangers), while scriskb uses a scale from 0 (avoid taking risks in trusting strangers) to 10 (fully prepared to take risks in trusting strangers). When harmonising them, you should take this difference into account.
