Supplementary File 1: Sweet-Taste Liking and Economic Decision-Making Study

A 374.4 KB DOCX file authored by Anna Davidovich, last updated on 2026-05-20. It contains supplementary material for a study investigating the relationship between hedonic preference for sweet taste and economic decision-making, including risk-taking and delay discounting. The study involved two experiments with 49 and 100 participants, respectively.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between sweet-taste phenotype and risk aversion based on the described lottery choice task.
• Investigating the relationship between reward sensitivity and preference for immediate rewards based on the described delay discounting task.
• Comparing behavioral measures like the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) and sweet-liking test to understand different facets of decision-making.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The description provides a detailed methodological background for two experiments with specified sample sizes (N=49 and N=100).
• The file is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed research question linking biological markers to economic behavior.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a DOCX document; the underlying raw or tabular data is not directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
