Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan membandingkan tahap kesedaran dan tingkah laku risiko yang "altruistik".antara jantina selain meninjau hubungan antara keduanya dalam kegiatan rekreasi dalam Program Pembangunan Masyarakat Guru (BIG). Satu set soalan yang ditanyakan telah digunakan berbanding 81 pelajar tahun akhir Fakulti Pendidikan, KUIS di Raub, Pahang. Persoalan penyelidikan terdiri daripada dua perubahan, iaitu kesadaran terhadap risiko dan tingkah laku keselamatan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan kesedaran yang tinggi tentang risiko semasa aktiviti rekreasi. Analisis ujian T menunjukkan bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan dalam kesedaran terhadap risiko dan kelakuan keselamatan antara wanita. Analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukkan bahawa terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kesedaran risiko (peraturan keselamatan) dan tingkah laku keselamatan "altruistic". Implikasi kajian ini ialah rekreasi dan pentadbir universiti perlu mengambil kira pelbagai jenis risiko dalam merekabentuk aktiviti rekreasi luar. Tahap kesadaran risiko yang tinggi dapat membantu pelajar dengan tingkah laku yang baik dalam aktiviti rekreasi luar yang mereka berminat.
