Abstract: Adolescence is a peak period for risk‐taking, but research has largely overlooked positive manifestations of adolescent risk‐taking due to ambiguity regarding operationalization and measurement of positive risk‐taking. We address this limitation using a mixed‐methods approach. We elicited free responses from contemporary college students (N = 74, Mage = 20.1 years) describing a time they took a risk. Qualitative analysis informed the construction of a self‐report positive risk‐taking scale, which was administered to a population‐based sample of adolescents (N = 1,249, Mage = 16 years) for quantitative validation and examination of associations with normative and impulsive personality. Sensation seeking predicted negative and positive risk‐taking, whereas extraversion and openness were predominantly related to positive risk‐taking. Results provide promising evidence for a valid measure of adolescents' engagement in positive risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
