Willingness
Hello I found the sentence, "The greater a child's self-worth, the greater the willingness to incur the risks of prolonged negotiation and the greater the adaptability."
I saw many sentences using "willingness", but most of them is followed by positive things like "willingness to help" or "willingness to corporate". However, the willingness in the sentence I found this time is followed by the negative thing (at least to me, incurring the risks seems negative). Is the meaning of willingness still being happy to incur the risks? In other words, it seems like willing to increase risks high to me.
