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