“…Few studies have investigated the impact of gender on decision-making in ADHD populations, but Miller and colleagues (2012) found impaired decision-making performance in young adult females with ADHD compared to TD females. Despite the lack of between-sex comparisons in the study by Miller et al (2012), results indicate that young adult females with ADHD exhibit impaired decision-making compared to male counterparts (Hobson et al, 2011;Toplak et al, 2005).…”

“…On decision-making tasks, which is one way of investigating hot EF in a laboratory test situation, impairment has been found to be more evident in adolescents with ADHD than in children with ADHD (Geurts, van der Oord, & Crone, 2006;Hobson, Scott, & Rubia, 2011;Lambek et al, 2010;Skogli, Egeland, Andersen, Hovik, & Øie, 2013;Toplak, Jain, & Tannock, 2005). One reason for these findings may be that hot EF are relatively immature in young children (<12 years) (Best & Miller, 2010).…”

Objective: Investigate the development of executive function with pronounced emotional salience (hot EF) and less pronounced emotional salience (cold EF) in boys and girls with ADHD relative to typical developing (TD) children. Method: Seventy-five children with ADHD, and 47 TD children were assessed with hot and cold EF tests at baseline and after two years. Results: Despite considerable maturation, the ADHD group remained impaired on all cold EF tests relative to TD children after two years. There was no effect of gender on cold EF test results. Females with ADHD outperformed TD counterparts on hot EF at baseline. Females with ADHD showed deteriorating hot EF performance, while TD counterparts showed improved hot EF performance across time. Conclusion: Enduring cold EF impairments after two years may reflect stable phenotypic traits in children with ADHD. Results indicate divergent developmental trajectories of hot EF in girls with ADHD relative to TD counterparts.

“…Considering the findings of Van den Bos et al (2013) on the existence of a learning curve over the course of rounds, it is important to increase the number of rounds and make them random so that more information can be obtained regarding this independence. This study's results confirm the results reported by previous studies, indicating that men are more prone to risk than women (Charness & Geneezy, 2011;Van den Bos et al, 2013) for all the indexes analyzed. This leads to the conclusion that this instrument is valid in terms of contrasting groups.…”

“…Sex differences have been frequently reported in the literature as elements that influence variation in risk propensity (Charness & Geneezy, 2011;Van den Bos, Homberg, & de Visser, 2013). Charness and Gneezy (2011) analyzed the difference between women and men in regard to finance risk, shown through an investment game in which women invest less and, therefore, seem to be more averse to risk than men.…”

This study's objective was to construct, standardize, and identify validity evidence regarding a card game in order to study risk propensity. Risk-taking outcomes were investigated using a coefficient of variation and a risk-adjusted performance measure. The hypothesis considered was that a valid instrument would successfully distinguish sex differences, indicating men are more prone to risk than women. In addition to the card game, which initially included eight rounds, the 243 participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results indicate that six rounds were more pertinent and presented validity evidence based on response processes and external criteria; men scored higher in risk propensity than women. The conclusion is that the instrument is innovative, considering loss was added to the study of risk, and proved to be valid for use with Brazilian samples.Keywords: risk; psychological measure; instrument; decision-making; quantitative research. JOGO PROPENSÃO AO RISCO: CONSTRUÇÃO, EVIDÊNCIAS DE VALIDADE E DIFE-RENÇAS DE GÊNEROResumo: Este artigo teve como objetivos construir, padronizar e levantar evidências de validade de um jogo de cartas para o estudo da propensão ao risco. Investigamos os resultados da propensão ao risco a partir do coeficiente de variação de ganhos e medida de desempenho ajustado de risco. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que o instrumento válido diferenciaria com êxito diferenças sexuais apontando homens como mais propensos a arriscar do que mulheres. Adicionalmente ao jogo de cartas, inicialmente com oito rodadas, 243 participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfi-co. Resultados apontaram a pertinência de seis rodadas e apresentou indicativos de evidências de validade baseada no processo de resposta e baseada em critério externo, apresentando escores de propensão ao risco maiores para homens do que para mulheres. Concluímos que o instrumento é inovador, visto a consideração de perdas no estudo do risco e mostrou-se como válido para utilização com amostra brasileira.Palavras-chave: risco; medida psicológica; instrumento; tomada de decisão; pesquisa quantitativa.

Además del juego, inicialmente con ocho rondas, 243 participantes respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico.
