This paper considers how so-called psychometric methods devised for risk-awareness measurement in sociological and cognitive psychological researches connected primarily with health risk can be used to determine indirectly the risk behaviour behind investment decisions. The methodological efforts to measure uncertainty, which have stretched and been repeatedly renewed over centuries, tend to push decision-makers and their subjects and sociological-cum-psychological deciding process into the background. The authors have measured financial risk behaviour in the population through intensity of risk perception, using a representative sample. Groups of subjects homogenous in their risk behaviour were assembled to establish certain clear sociological determinants and parameters. Finally, the conclusions drawn about risk propensity and risk perception were compared with conclusions on risk attitude obtained by direct measurement.

The authors aimed to evaluate the prevalence of problem behaviors in a representative randomized national sample of youth in the Czech Republic. The Social and Health Assessment (SAHA), a school survey, was administered to a nationwide sample of 4,980 adolescents in three age cohorts (12, 14, and 16 years) in Prague and 12 regional capitals of the Czech Republic. Three antisocial behaviors, i.e. fistfight, damage of public or private property, and shoplifting, were the most frequent in both genders, while carrying a gun or a weapon (blade, knife, gun) to school were also highly prevalent among boys. The levels of alcohol and cigarette use were high, and increased with age. Marijuana, amphetamines and met-amphetamines were the most frequently used illegal drugs in both genders. Risky sexual behaviors, assessed in 16-year-old adolescents, were also common, with only 64.5% of boys and 46.8% of girls reporting condom use and 27.7 of boys and 21.0% of girls reporting that they had 4 or more sexual partners. This study demonstrated a relatively high prevalence of risk behaviors in Czech youth, a finding with major implications for public health and future research.
