Measuring feelings about choices and risks: The Berlin Emotional Responses to Risk Instrument (BERRI)

Artículos Científicos, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

We introduce a brief instrument specifically validated for measuring positive and negative feelings about risks—the Berlin Emotional Responses to Risk Instrument (BERRI). Based on seven studies involving diverse adults from three countries (n = 2120), the BERRI was found to robustly estimate anticipatory affective reactions derived from subjective evaluations of positive (i.e., assured, hopeful, and relieved) and…
