Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores risk-taking during a pandemic, a severe risk condition similar to terrorism and natural disasters. It examines differences in sociodemographics and psychographics between individuals who traveled during the COVID-19 Pandemic and those who stayed home. Conducted as an online survey in 2022, the study used a randomized experiment. T-tests revealed significant differences in only two sociodemographics and two risk-taking factors of probability neglect and proximity-to-self, but not in personality traits of risk-taking, thrill-seeking, or self-confidence. Travelers were more likely to have young children and higher income while non-travelers scored higher in neglecting the probability of bad events happening to them, potentially because they avoided travel as they perceived a high likelihood of bad events happening while traveling.
