Abstract: The present research employed implicit Go/NoGo association task and ERP measurement to inves- tigate undergraduates’ attitude for the permitted and unpermitted risk-taking behaviors. The behavioral results showed that the undergraduates’ attitude for two kinds of risk-taking behaviors was negative. Meantime, our ERP results indicated that the words representing risk-taking behaviors evoked larger P200 when they were associated with positive words than when they were associated with negative words in the 140 - 300 ms time window after words onset. This P200 effect didn’t interact with the type of risk-taking behaviors. During 400 - 700ms time window, the words representing unpermitted risk-taking behaviors evoked larger LPP when they were associated with positive words than when they were associated with negative words. However, no similar LPP effect was found for permitted risk-taking behaviors. These results suggest that negative attitude of undergraduates for the risk-taking behaviors possibly influences on early semantic processing and late stimuli categorization. The positively social evaluation for permitted risk–taking behaviors also maybe im- pacts on the stimuli categorization. Keywords: Risk-Taking; Implicit Attitude; Go/NoGo
