A new model of real-time risky decision making is introduced that predicts tradeoffs between processing and risk taking during driving. This model, called Decision-Making under Risk in a Vehicle, or DRIVE, was fitted to data from a task in which subjects decided when to cross an intersection as a car approached from the cross street. Results showed that subjects attempted to cross less often before the oncoming car when it started closer to the intersection, even though objective risk was the same regardless of starting distance. Also, when the car started closer, subjects who reported having more real-life automobile accidents were less likely to take advantage of a longer opportunity to cross first. These results, along with results from fitting DRIVE to the data, suggest that risk-taking effects can be accounted for by a model of risk perception, and not by a model of risk acceptance.

The Relationship

This paper will focus on the relationship between cognitive ability and decision-making under risk and uncertainty. Taken as a whole, this research indicates that cognitive ability is associated with risk-taking behavior in various contexts and life domains, including incentivized choices between lotteries in controlled environments, behavior in nonexperimental settings, and self-reported tendency to take risks. One pattern that emerges frequently in these studies is that cognitive ability tends to be positively correlated with avoidance of harmful risky situations, but it tends to be negatively correlated with risk aversion in advantageous situations. We conclude by discussing perspectives for future research, in particular the scope for the development of richer sets of elicitation instruments and measurement across a wider range of concepts.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of diurnal cortisol profile on decision making under risk in individuals with gambling disorder and a healthy control group. We examined the relationship between diurnal cortisol, assessed over the course of two days, and a battery of tasks that assessed decision making under risk, including the Columbia Card Task and the Cups Task. Thirty individuals with problem gambling and 29 healthy individuals took part in the study. Those with problem gambling showed blunted diurnal cortisol and more risk taking behavior compared to those in the healthy control group. Blunted cortisol profile was associated with more risky behavior and less sensitivity to losing money in problem gambling. These findings suggest that blunted stress physiology plays a role in specific parameters of risky decision making in problem gambling.
