# AI Trading Trust Experiment

A psychology research game studying trust in AI advice under varying conditions.

## About

This is a behavioral experiment disguised as a trading simulation. Participants:

1. Configure an AI advisor's characteristics (confidence, explanation depth, risk tolerance)
2. Receive AI-generated trading advice for fictional companies
3. Make trading decisions (follow or ignore the AI)
4. Rate their confidence in their decisions

## Data Collected

- Participant ID (anonymized)
- AI tuning preferences (slider positions)
- Trading decisions and response times
- Confidence ratings
- Portfolio outcomes

## For Researchers

Data is stored in SQLite (`experiment_data.db`). Download from the Space's Files tab.

Tables:
- `participants`: Session-level data
- `decisions`: Turn-by-turn data with all variables

## Fictional World

All companies and countries are entirely fictional to prevent participants from using external knowledge.
