Externalizing Traits Show Context-Dependent Patterns in Risky Choices during Cost-Benefit Decision-Making

Abstract: Using a novel probabilistic learning task, we found that higher externalizing were associated with riskier choices when rewards were large or when contingencies were regularly changing, but not when rewards were smaller or contingencies were stable. These results challenge the notion of externalizing as being generally associated with risky decision-making.
