| Popis: | International audience; Sport climbing is considered as a high-risk sport (Brymer et al., 2020), as mistakes or risk-taking behaviours can lead to severe or fatal injuries (Backe et al., 2009; Schoffl et al., 2010). Little is known about the relationships between risk perception, defined as the riskiness assessment of specific situations (Weber et al. 2002) and sport climbing specific risk-taking behaviours (SCRTB). We examined these relationships, as well as expertise level differences for both risk perceptions and SCRTB. 3919 sport climbers (Mean age=36.6±12.6) filled out a web-based questionnaire measuring their frequency of adoption of 12 SCRTB (e.g., not checking that his/her security knot is correctly tied) on a scale of 1 (never) to 7 (always), and (in a counterbalanced order) their risk perception with regards to each of the listed SCRTB, on a scale of 1 (not at all dangerous) to 7 (extremely dangerous). Expertise level was measured according to five levels of the IRCRA reporting scale (Draper et al., 2015).Risk perceptions were negatively related to all listed SCRTB (rho (3918) > -.55 & < -.44, p < .001). There were differences on all listed risk perceptions according to expertise level (Kruskal-Wallis H(3918) > 22.18 and < 463.71, p < .001): participants with highest expertise levels reported lower risk perceptions. There also were differences on 9 SCRTB according to expertise level (Kruskal-Wallis H(3918) > 10.20 and < 536.14, p < .05): participants with highest expertise levels were the more risk-takers. Applied interventions should target risk perception among sport climbers, particularly among most experienced sport climbers. |
