Using the Edgework concept is useful for exploring divers' experiences in the water and providing a more detailed examination of the situation as divers approach perceived risk and danger. how they react to these circumstances. . Research on divers has shown that, as with other shipboard work activities, before taking risks, individuals experience nervousness and horror, but when underwater, divers perceived a feeling of calm and relaxation (Schneider et al, 2007). If potential risks arise, the ecstatic experience will be carried out. The divers' negotiation effort reveals their autonomy to isolate the constraints and accept the associated risks. (Dimmock, 2009). However, the magnitude of comfort in the scuba diving experience might decrease due to these constraints, which is why divers tend to use a negotiation strategy to manage their comfort constraint. Three notable ways of negotiation response emerged from the divers' experience narrative which are classified as consolidation, cooperation and cancellation strategy. A consolidation strategy reflects those divers who take comfort in the water and believe they have the skills and abilities required to maintain control of a situation that "borders on total chaos." In most cases, divers view constraints as obstacles, but they view the minor disturbance as manageable because their preference is to stay in the water (Dimmock, 2009). According to Brown (2005), when people are unwilling to change their behavior and reduce the estimated risk, they can improve the perception of their experience and reduce the recognized risks. In this case, divers could either take steps to remain calm and reconsider the current situation, or turn their attention to the positive aspect of being under...... middle of paper ...... concept of electronic work only targeted at a specific social layer. As Lyng (2005) noted, the concept was "rooted in the unique experience of white, middle-class adult men." (p.11). Therefore, edgework may have significant limitations when applied to other ethnic and gender groups. Further research shows that edging can be perceived in different ways by men and women, young and old, rich and poor (Lois, 2005). Another criticism of the concept of edgework is that edgework is too simplistic a view for interpreting the actions of participants. Referring to Donnelly's (2004) statement, the conceptual framework being heavily influenced by the idea of ​​Marx and Meads, cutting edge work is rooted in the gig economy and capitalist society. risky activities were exaggerated (Laurendeau 2008).
