Sentence examples for manipulated risk from inspiring English sources

Age and sex appear to influence antipredator behavior more acutely during periods of heightened, or experimentally manipulated, risk.

Behavioural and neurobiological evidence for a dissociation between the influences of risk and valence on decisions has been derived from studies that employed a financial gambling task that separately manipulated risk and valence (Wright et al., 2012).

We manipulated risk by using a set of 56 lotteries (three possible outcomes, all ≥0), in which we parametrically and orthogonally manipulated degree of risk (i.e. variance; eight levels) and EV (seven levels).

The newer derivatives, though hardly identical to their predecessors, nonetheless evolved in similar environments, were likewise designed to manipulate risk, and were also customized on a trade-by-trade basis.

The report, however, documented the practical impossibility of implementing the needed reforms as J.P.
