Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Impulsive risk taking behaviour is dependent on the emotional backing. When a person feels rewarded or elevated emotionally (both positive and negative emotion) , he /she projects impulsive behaviour.

Case of impulsive risk taking based on positive emotions - When a person is rewarded for some of his/her work, then in the spontaneous behaviour caused by excitement leads to high level of impulsivity which enhances the risk taking behaviour of an individual. for example - taking risking in business investment after a successful previous investment.

Case of impulsive risk taking based on negative emotions - When a person has negative emotion after having alcohol , or any drug, then out of impulsive behavior they drive very fast on road irrespective of the risk involved in it.

Hence , the given statement is false
