Not really the same: Computerized and real lotteries in decision making research

作者:

Highlights:

• Computer technologies are routinely employed in many experiments.

• Equivalence to non-computerized assessment cannot be taken for granted, however.

• Equivalence in choices following computerized vs. non-computerized sampling was tested.

• Our results show marked differences.

• Computerized sampling led to an underestimation of risk and thus to more risky choices.
