Mason_2024_Exp1.Rd

This dataset originates from Experiment 1 of Mason et al. (2024), titled "Rare and extreme outcomes in risky choice" (doi:10.3758/s13423-023-02415-x ). The raw data is publicly available on the Open Science Framework (OSF) at https://osf.io/hy3q4/. For the purposes of this package, we've performed basic cleaning and preprocessing of the original dataset.

L_choice

Left choice, a character indicating the option presented. The possible options are:

  • A: 100% gain 4.

  • B: 90% gain 0 and 10% gain 40.
