Adventurous experiences create psychological arousal, which can be interpreted as negative (e.g. fear) or positive (e.g. flow), and which can be detrimental as stated by the Yerkes-Dodson law.	Avontuurvolle ervarings skep 'n psigologiese opkikkering wat as beide positief (vloei) en negatief (angs) arvaar kan word. Hierdie evarings kan nadelig wees soos uiteengesit deur die Yerkes-Dodson wet.
For some people, adventure becomes a major pursuit in and of itself.	Vir sommige mense word avontuur opsigself 'n groot doelstrewe.
According to adventurer André Malraux, in his La Condition Humaine (1933), "If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?".	Volgens die avonturier Andre Malraux, soos vervat in sy La Condition Humain (1993), "As 'n man nie gereed is om sy lewe te waag nie, waar is sy waardigheid dan?"
Similarly, Helen Keller stated that "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."	Soortgelyk het Helen Keller gesê dat "Die lewe is of a waaghalsige avontuur of niks."
Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation or excitement: examples are adventure racing and adventure tourism.	Buitemuurse avontuur aktiviteite word tipies onderneem vir die doel van ontspanning of opwinding: voorbeelde is avontuur wedrenne en avontuur toerisme.
Adventurous activities can also lead to gains in knowledge, such as those undertaken by explorers and pioneers – the British adventurer Jason Lewis, for example, uses adventures to draw global sustainability lessons from living within finite environmental constraints on expeditions to share with schoolchildren.	Avontuur aktiwiteite kan ook bydrae tot die opbou van kennis, soos die wat deur ontdekkingsreisigers en pioniere onderneem word - Die Britse avonturier Jason Lewis gebruik byvoorbeeld avonture om wêreldwye volhoubaarheids lesse te leer van hoe om binne eindige omgewingsbeperkinge op ekspedisies te leef en die dan met skoolkinders te deel.
Adventure education intentionally uses challenging experiences for learning.	By die leer van avontuurs opleiding word daar doelbewus van uitdagende ondervindings gebruik gemaak.
