Abstract
128 participants aged 18-45, oversampled for borderline personality disorder and anxiety symptoms, played a gambling task involving choice under risky and ambiguous uncertainty conditions. In multi-level regression analyses, higher BPD symptoms predicted slower reaction time under ambiguity (b=-.003;p<.05). We plan to run complementary models of choice behavior using logistic regression.
