Academic risk-taking describes students\u2019 willingness and comfort with trying new or challenging tasks and their ultimate engagement with such tasks. In this grounded theory study, interviews with university students from a variety of academic disciplines were conducted to identify instantiations of academic risk-taking, emotions related to risk-taking, and disciplinary differences. Results indicated that academic risk-taking during university studies is informed by students\u2019 prior experiences, cognitive and emotional orientation, familial and cultural influences, and systematic institutional influences, as well as instructor feedback practices, flexibility, warmth, and instructional design features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
