That makes sense. I guess it's also important to identify the stakeholders who are more likely to cause trouble if a risk materializes. You know, the ones who will freak out even over a minor issue.

Exactly, it's all about understanding your stakeholders' risk appetite. If you've got some stakeholders who are really risk-adverse, you need to tailor your risk management approach to address their concerns. Otherwise, they might not buy into the plan.

I think the key here is that risk attitude can impact how stakeholders perceive and respond to project risks. Depending on whether they are risk-averse or risk-seeking, that's going to change how they evaluate the probability and impact of risks.

Oh man, this question seems tricky. I'm not too sure about risk attitudes and how they affect risk analysis. Is this something we really need to know for the exam?
