Imagine two friends: one jumps out of a plane without a parachute, and the other gets nervous just thinking about it. Why do they react so differently? It all starts in their brains. Some people have a brain part that makes them feel happy when things get exciting, like when you ride a roller coaster or play hide-and-seek. Others don’t feel that same thrill, so risky behavior doesn't sound as fun to them.
Examples
- One kid loves jumping off a diving board even from the highest step, while another is too scared to go near it.
- Some people will take a chance on winning a prize in a game show, but others would rather get the guaranteed smaller amount.
- A friend might try skydiving without thinking twice, but you'd be happy with just a simple bike ride.
