DOSPERTR Documentation

DOSPERT

Description

A list containing the bivariate correlations (cormat) of the 40 items of the Domain Specific Risk Taking Scale (DOSPERT; Weber, Blais, & Betz, 2002) and the sample size (N) based on the publicly available dataset at (https://osf.io/rce7g) of the Basel-Berlin Risk Study (Frey et al., 2017). The items measure risk-taking propensity on six different domains: social, recreational, gambling, health/ safety, investment, and ethical.
