Group 2 from Mason et al. (2024)

Mason_2024_G2.Rd

This dataset originates from Experiment 2 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.

Subject

Subject ID, an integer (total of 143).

Block

Block number, an integer (1 to 6).

Trial

Trial number, an integer (1 to 60).

L_choice

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

  • A: 100% gain 36.

  • B: 90% gain 40 and 10% gain 0.
