Determinants of Economic Risk Preferences Across Adolescence
This study examined economic risk preferences using a multidimensional approach in adolescents and young adults ( N = 444, ages 13–27).

We tested six demographic and psychological determinants (age, gender, positive/negat…
Dichotomous thinking about social groups

Participants learned information about one group (e.g., "Zuttles like apples"), and then made inferences about another group (e.g., "Do Twiggums like apples or hate apples?"). Study 1 acted as a proof of concept: Eight-year-old…
