Individual Consistencies across Time and Tasks: A Replication of Interactive Styles.
Three experimental studies were carried out in order to find within-subject consistencies as well as individual differences in a concurrent choice situation involving risk-taking. Four subjects were exposed twice, with a 4-month delay, to a horse-race game and a stock-exchange game, in order to eval...

| Summary: | Three experimental studies were carried out in order to find within-subject consistencies as well as individual differences in a concurrent choice situation involving risk-taking. Four subjects were exposed twice, with a 4-month delay, to a horse-race game and a stock-exchange game, in order to evaluate their choices for a conservative versus a risky condition under open contingencies. The results in the 3 experiments showed reliable profiles in all subjects when frequency of changeovers was correlated with number of accumulated earnings. Results are discussed in terms of interactive styles. Reprinted by permission of the publisher. |
