Abstract
The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) has become one of the most widely used measurement instruments of the behavioral and clinical sciences. We conducted a robust Bayesian meta-analysis synthesizing 1,667 effect sizes from 220 studies (N=51,932), finding high flexibility in task implementation and overall limited psychometric properties of the task.
