Please read the consent form carefully
We invite you to participate in a web-based online experiment on decision-making. The experiment should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. However, you will only be rewarded for completing the task, not for the length of time you participate.
You must be at least 18 years old to participate in these experiments.
The decision to participate in this research project is voluntary. You do not have to participate and you can refuse to answer any question. Even if you begin the web-based experiments, you can stop at any time by closing your browser.
There are no foreseeable risks or discomforts to you for taking part in this study.
You will be compensated for good faith participation in this experiment.Submitted HITs will be rejected if they are completed in a manner that appears to be random, incomplete, or otherwise negligent.
Your data will be handled in a confidential manner. The data you provide will be stored in a secure database and your responses will not be linked to your Turk worker ID. Your worker ID will only be used for payment. Non-identified data may be publically shared on the Open Science Framework or a similar platform. The purposes of data sharing are to document the results reported in a paper and secondary analysis of the data by others.
If you have any questions about this study, please contact: Laura Marusich-Cooper, laura.m.cooper20.civ@mail.mil
This study has been reviewed and approved by Army Research Laboratory (ARL). ARL's Human Research Protection Program/Institutional Review Board shall have access to records for auditing and checking compliance with regulations.

Framing:
1. Imagine we are throwing a five-sided die 50 times. On average, out of these 50 throws how many times would this five-sided die show an odd number (1, 3 or 5)?
2. Out of 1,000 people in a small town 500 are members of a choir. Out of these 500 members in the choir 100 are men. Out of the 500 inhabitants that are not in the choir 300 are men. What is the probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir? Please indicate the probability in percent
3. Imagine we are throwing a loaded die (6 sides). The probability that the die shows a 6 is twice as high as the probability of each of the other numbers. On average, out of these 70 throws, about how many times would the die show the number 6?
4. In a forest 20% of mushrooms are red, 50% brown and 30% white. A red mushroom is poisonous with a probability of 20%. A mushroom that is not red is poisonous with a probability of 5%. What is the probability that a poisonous mushroom in the forest is red?
What is your age?
What is your gender?
What is the highest level of education you have completed?
What (if any) strategies did you use to complete this task?
When you chose a HIGH Value Target (HVT), what was the probability the target would be captured (not a false alarm)?
When you chose a LOW Value Target (LVT), what was the probability the target would be captured (not a false alarm)?
Do you have any other comments about the task?
