Depending on the meaning of risk-taking it may be more in the extraversion domain (sensation-seeking, boldness, impulsiveness, etc.). There's one study I know of showing later generations have gone *up* in extraversion - but I'm not sure I put a ton of stock in that study

We know from the best data that Sanjay cited that 1) there are no real, big shifts in each generation, that 2) older and younger folk are different, and that 3) older folk have faulty memories. Given those 3 I'd put $ on the codgers continuing to make $ by disparaging the kids
I think the data is kinda interesting, but I don't think it answers (or is meant to answer) the questions I'm trying to ask

It is tough to find good data for these questions which are great questions btw.

Yeah, and frankly I don't really know how to feel about standard survey methods... a lot of the time, they're sort of like a sociological version of the pain scale: nobody really knows what a "1" or a "10" is supposed to be, but sure, I guess I'm a 6.
