I just included this paragraph as an entry into my FCP portfolio. One day into second semester and I'm already bored as fuck of this tomfoolery.
"Overconfidence is a fourth factor influencing risk perception. Overconfidence can reduce risk perception as people may believe they have more skills to overcome a challenge than they actually have and hence the probability of failure or negative consequence is less in their mind. For example, as a child I considered myself quite a capable monkey-bar enthusiast. Hence, when attempting a wicked three-bar jump I thought I would easily reach it. Unfortunately, overconfidence clouded my risk perception as I did not correctly perceive the probability of missing the third bar, falling and fracturing my arm as, alas, I did."
