@BD2412: We really should be sending these supremely basic subjects to DYK. GMG ^talk 20:47, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree. It continues to amaze me that these topics have not been made prior to this. bd2412 T 20:49, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What for a hook then I wonder. GMG ^talk 20:50, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well we could go with an etymology based hook. I would rather go with a hook from the effects section, but the literature is so thin, I'm afraid someone might call foul on citing original studies, since there simply doesn't seem to be enough research available for a meta analysis. GMG ^talk 22:07, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I would go with "...rivalry between competitors can contribute to greater risk taking behavior". bd2412 T 23:15, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
