The conflict task. a. Experimental design. In four consecutive blocks, participants first chose between lotteries contrasting certain outcomes with conflicting, ambiguous, and risky outcomes (Task 1, see Fig. 1.b). Next, in Task 2, participants chose between conflicting and ambiguous options, with winning chances centered around 15% (as shown in the figure), 50%, and 85% (see Table S2). Finally, participants rated their anticipated regret for different outcomes and completed a personality test. b. Choice under conflict, ambiguity, and risk. The lotteries presented in Task 1 contrasted certain fixed outcomes with different types of uncertainty. Different reward amounts (shown in the gray box) were presented in uncertain options. Winning chances in conflicting and ambiguous trials were centered around 50%, with different probability ranges (presented in increasing magnitude from left to right).
