You are being asked to participate in this research study because you are healthy adults aged 18 years old or over. This study examines how people perceive and estimate their degree of risk under uncertain risky situations and how they form their mental representations of risky situations and choices when making their decision. This study also investigates how personal traits, such as mindfulness and emotional regulation, may affect people’s decision-making styles. If you agree to participate, you will be presented with a series of hypothetical scenarios that involve different environmental and health hazard situations, and you will be asked to estimate the risk involved in a particular situation or select a preferred option. Your participation will take approximately 20-30 minutes.

All data will be kept confidential and will only be reported in a conglomerate format (only reporting combined results and never reporting individual results).
