โœฆ Synopsis

Apart from earlier research on sexual behavior, little is known about associations between self-monitoring and engagement in risk behaviors. Our research veriยฎed that one component of self-monitoring, public performing, is related to a range of risk behaviors. We then tested whether the greater engagement of high compared to low self-monitoring individuals in risk behaviors could be attributed to: (a) greater discrepancies between perceptions of risk and reported risk behaviors for the high-scoring group; or (b) higher levels of sensation seeking among high versus low self-monitoring individuals. Data from a sample of 452 college students supported the second of these two explanations. Implications for self-monitoring theory and measurement, as well as for adolescent and young adult risk behaviors, are discussed.

## Abstract Flood risk and the critical time of occurrence are difficult to monitor and detect. The availability and application of adapted indices may allow not only continuous monitoring of hydrological conditions in floodโ€prone areas, but also the potential threat of possible flood events in ord
