Characteristics of participants included in the analyses (see the Results section for discussion of the participant exclusion criteria).

Note: The range of possible total scores on the 11th version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton, Stanford, & Barratt, 1995) is 30 to 125; higher scores indicate more impulsive behaviour. On the Stimulating-Instrumental Risk Inventory (SIRI; Zaleskiewicz, 2001), scores of 45 and below indicate a tendency toward avoiding taking risks. Separate scores for the three BIS-and two SIRI subscales appear below the total score. Note: BIS & SIR data of four participants in Experiment 1 were missing; in Experiment 2, the BIS data of one participant was missing. Due to rounding, there are small differences between the total SIRI score and the sum of the subscales.
