Proportion of choices in uncertain options. a. Proportion of choices in risky lotteries. As expected, preferences for risky lotteries increased with the reward offered by the lotteries, suggesting participants understood and were sensitive to the incentives offered by the experiment. b. Proportion of choices of conflicting and ambiguous lotteries. For each uncertainty level, the red and blue bars summarize the mean proportion of choices of conflicting and ambiguous lotteries, respectively. The red and blue lines connecting the bars show that across uncertainty levels, conflicting lotteries are slightly but consistently selected more frequently than ambiguous lotteries. In both lottery types, greater uncertainty levels are associated with lower choice proportion (observe the slope of the red and blue lines), suggesting a general aversion to conflict and ambiguity. Each circle represents the choice proportions of a single participant. In all panels, error bars are standard errors.
