Eye-Tracking Data on Risky Supplement Decisions in Recreational Fitness

A laboratory eye-tracking study with 166 recreational fitness athletes examined visual attention during supplement-related risk decisions. The dataset includes Quiet Eye fixation durations on warning and reward cues, psychosocial risk constructs, cognitive load measures, and binary choice outcomes. The data was authored by René Paasch and last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between visual attention and risky choice based on Quiet Eye fixation durations.
• Analyzing the association between psychosocial variables like risk acceptance and supplement use intention.
• Investigating the effect of cognitive load on decision outcomes in a controlled, task-based environment.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a controlled laboratory study with 166 participants.
• Includes specific, statistically significant associations reported in the description (e.g., OR=0.50 for QE_warning).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (20.4 KB), indicating limited scope.
