This report is based on the theses that: first, the attitudes toward risk by program management personnel are important; second, attitudes toward risk can be measured; and third, the research methodology for measurement of attitudes toward risk can be designed to provide useful results. Basic but limited research (under controlled conditions) of businessmen are examined. The tentative observations of the research are discussed.
