Our findings have important implications for the future modeling of decision making under risk. …A core prediction of recent "dual-self" models is that a person's risk attitudes depend on her current level of self …-control, compared to regular self-control; in particular, lower levels of self-control should induce stronger risk aversion for stakes …
