In Anthony Burgess's novel, Alex - the 15-year-old leader of the gang - is arrested for murder and subjected to aversion therapy that leaves him incapable of distinguishing between good and evil.
In contrast, T in the entropy model (an indicator of subject's degree of aversion to unpredictability) did not significantly correlate with AUC (p >.05), implying that risk aversion and aversion to lack of information are distinct psychological processes.
In order to examine the relationship between the parameters of the probabilistic choice models and subject's degree of aversion to possible non-gain (risk aversion), we utilized Pearson's correlation analyses between the parameters of the model equations and AUC, because Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests revealed no significant deviation from Gaussian distribution in all parameter distributions (p >.05).
But despite his horror about the 'persistent avoidance of the subject or aversion to it', he is left with a paradox that mitigates his resentment.
The story follows Alex into prison, where he is subjected to violence in the form of aversion therapy.
He followed it, in 1936, with "Modern Times," the great political comedy of mechanization and exploitation, in which his Tramp, at the end, yields a bit to the times — he delivers a remarkable song in nonsense patter, the very subject of which is Chaplin's aversion to delivering dialogue.
For locals, it quickly became a subject of fascination as much as aversion, symbolizing the difficult relationship post-communist societies have with their past.

In this sense, this group of this group of subjects exhibited only weak reciprocity, since they showed some degree of aversion to reciprocate unless they were externally rewarded.
Among the model parameters, a in the entropy model, β in Prelec's weight function, general hyperbolic s, simple hyperbolic k are significantly negatively correlated with AUC (note that smaller AUC corresponds to greater degree of aversion to possible non-gain) (p <.05), indicating that these parameters are related to subject's degree of risk aversion.
Note also that k sp does not measure subject's aversion to uncertainty associated with delay, but simply measure subject's estimation of potential risk factors in the future.
