Videogame Paradigm
Method
-
-
-
A week later, came back and had the memory reactivated, and clicked a button whenever they had an intrusion
Why?
-
-
Based on knowledge about memory, might be better treatments
-
Limitations
-
Low external validity
Results might not map onto PTSD, where the intrusions are far more extreme and debilitating
-
-
Economic risk taking
Why?
Economic disparity is growing and it predicts certain negative outcomes, such as crime, gambling and debt
What impact does this disparity have on risk taking? Over and above just low income, how does a large disparity effect risk taking
Method
Have people play a decision making game, but beforehand have them view results graphs, one that has a large disparity, and one that has a small disparity, but the same average
-
Findings
People in a high inequality situation were more likely to take more risks, and felt like they needed more money
Other studies
found that in places with high inequality there are more google searches for things like "need money" and "lottery"
