Visually handicapped Indian clients ages 22-30 (N=68) completed a questionnaire designed to assess their risk-taking tendencies. Comparisons between individual responses and the consensus decisions of groups (male only) were made. Among reported results was that groups shifted toward a preference for less risk than individuals. (JW)
