You are invited to participate in a research study conducted at the University of Vienna, Department of Economics. This experiment investigates decision-making behavior in interactive tasks. The study is part of a Master's thesis supervised by Prof. Karl Schlag. Data collection serves exclusively for scientific research within the framework of this thesis [GDPR Art. 89(1)].
The experiment consists of two tasks, followed by a brief questionnaire. The entire session takes approximately 10–15 minutes. Detailed instructions will be provided at the beginning of each part.
Each task is linked to a personal lottery for a prize of €5. Your chance of winning depends on your own performance — the more points you earn, the higher your chance. You can earn up to €10 in total across both tasks. Details will be explained before each task.
Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and based on your consent [GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)]. Minors do not participate in this study.
You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason and without any negative consequences [GDPR Art. 7(3)]. To withdraw during the experiment, simply close the browser window. If you withdraw, your data will not be used.
We collect your choices, response times, and questionnaire answers. Only data necessary for the research is processed [GDPR Art. 5(1)(b)].
At the end of the experiment, you may voluntarily provide your email address to be contacted if you win a prize (up to €10 across two personal lotteries of €5 each). Your email is collected separately from your research data and cannot be linked to your responses [GDPR Art. 5(1)(b)]. A separate consent form for this will appear on the final page. The email data will be used solely to notify winners and will be deleted immediately after the prizes are distributed.
This study poses no known risks beyond those of everyday computer use. Some parts of the experiment involve visual content displayed on screen. If you experience any discomfort, you may stop immediately.
