Fig. 3: Effect of lifetime stressor exposure on estimates of risk and ambiguity tolerance (Study 1).
From: Cumulative lifetime stressor exposure assessed by the STRAIN predicts economic ambiguity aversion
Scatterplots depicting participants’ proportion of risky lottery choices (blue) plotted separately for total lifetime stressor a count and b severity, and proportion of ambiguous lottery choices (red) plotted separately for total lifetime stressor c count and d severity. A significant negative association emerged between both STRAIN indices and ambiguous lottery choices, indicating that greater lifetime stressor exposure was associated with less tolerance for ambiguity, while no such association was observed for risky lottery choices. Scatterplots depict non-parametric correlations (Spearman’s rho).
