Abstract
We plan to conduct an experiment in which we ask Prolific participants (N=800) to make a hypothetical risky choice by either "following their head" or "following their heart." We will ask you to predict how the "head" vs. "heart" manipulation affects participants' likelihood of choosing the risky option (50% chance of $100) over the sure option ($15 for sure).
