insturance_task

An oTree app that frames lottery choice tasks as insurance decisions. Subjects choose between paired options presented in an insurance context, allowing researchers to study how framing affects risk preferences.

Features

• Insurance framing: Standard lottery choices presented as insurance decisions
• YAML-configured tasks: Lottery pairs, task sequences, and display options defined via YAML config files
• Configurable lottery pairs: Flexible option definitions with per-task titles
• Config override: Project-level configs override local app configs
• Video instructions: Support for embedded instruction videos
• Overview pages: Configurable HTML overview pages per treatment

Setup

Add to your oTree project and include in SESSION_CONFIGS:

SESSION_CONFIGS = [
    dict(
        name='insurance',
        app_sequence=['insturance_task'],
        num_demo_participants=1,
    ),
]

Configure tasks by adding YAML files to configs/task/ and lottery definitions to configs/.
