This table shows Ordinary Least Squares regressions of the premium a subject was willing to pay to avoid a 50/50 lottery $0/$200 on his/her score in Baron-Cohen ″reading the mind in the eyes″ test. Test scores are negatively correlated with risk aversion. Heteroschedasticity robust standard errors are reported in brackets.

* Means significantly different from zero at the 10% level (two-tail t test),

** at the 5% level, and

*** at the 1% level.
