Description:

Purpose		The BART was designed to assess risk preferences through choices made in a scenario.
Questions		Participants inflate a computerized balloon. The goal is to inflate the balloon to its maximum inflation, but not more. Each "successful" pump is worth 5 cents. If the balloon is inflated past its individual explosion point, it pops and Ps lose all money earned on that balloon. There are 90 trials with three different color balloons. Each color (unbeknownst to Ps) represents a different probability of popping.
Sub-scales		N/A
Domain
Psychometrics
Sample items		Ps choose between: Pump up the balloon Collect $$$
