Why are we doing this study?

The purpose of this study is to observe how choices are made.

How is the study done?

In this experiment, you will be asked to choose between money and chocolates. There are 2 parts of tasks. Will you be paid for taking part in the study?

One of your {{ Constants.num_totalquestion }} tasks has been selected randomly by the computer for payment. Since you do not know which task was selected for payment, you should choose each task as if it were the one chosen for payment. At the end of the experiment, we will reveal to you the task chosen for payment.

Your payment therefore contains some money and some chocolates. You don't have to consume any chocolates on-site. You are free to take chocolates home and consume them later. The chocolates may contain dairy and nuts. If you dislike chocolates or can not eat chocolate due to health reasons, food allergies, or dietary restrictions, you can opt out of this experiment right now. You will be paid for your time if you decide to leave(see below).

What will we do with the study results?

The results of this study will be presented at academic seminars and reported in an academic paper. The paper will be submitted to, and potentially published in, an academic journal.
