Risk Attitudes - Experiment

My photo in the Jablonna palace park near Warsaw

Welcome to this page. My name is Krzysztof Kontek and I live in Warsaw, Poland.

The experiment concerns risk attitudes and consists of 12 simple choices.

The results of the experiment will be described in my paper presenting an alternative model to Prospect Theory (Kahneman, Tversky, 1979, 1992). The experimental data were requested by a journal reviewer to support the reasoning presented.

This Internet experiment has been designed using Michael Birnbaum's SurveyWiz tools*.

I got acquainted with these tools
during the workshop on Web-Research techniques held at the California State University, Fullerton, CA in January 2011.

Many thanks to Michael Birnbaum (CSU, Fullerton, CA) and Ulf-Dietrich Reips (University of Deusto, Bilbao, Spain) for presenting inspiring ideas.
