Exploring the Interplay of Trait Self–Control and Ego Depletion: Empirical Evidence for Ironic Effects (2014, background): “…bought more lottery tickets (Bruyneel, Dewitte, Franses, & Dekimpe, 2009), opted for more risky options in hypothetical situations (Freeman & Muraven, 2010), and risked more ‘pumps’ in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART; Freeman & Muraven, 2010; for the BART, see Lejuez et al., 2002).”
You can’t always get what you want: The motivational effect of need on risk-sensitive decision-making. (2010, methodology): “The BART has been associated with various risky behaviors outside of the laboratory, including addictive, health, and safety risk behaviors (Lejuez et al., 2002), risky sexual behaviors (Lejuez, Simmons, Aklin, Daughters, & Dvir, 2004), substance use (Aklin, Lejuez, Zvolensky, Kahler, & Gwadz,…”
Quantitative Review Finds No Evidence of Cognitive Effects in Healthy Populations From Single-session Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). (2015, background): “The number of low-probability/high-reward choices an individual selects is a measure of risk-taking propensity [19,20].”
Dispositional anxiety and risk-avoidant decision-making. (2007, background): “Lejuez et al. (2003, 2002) reported favorable convergent and discriminant properties of the BART, indicating convergence with other indices of risk-taking (e.g., gambling), and divergence from impulsivity and anxiety-relevant variables such as anxiety sensitivity.”
The importance of belonging and the avoidance of social risk taking in adolescence (2021, background): “The propensity to take risks on the BART, measured by the number of pumps made, is associated with a number of real-world adolescent risk behaviours, such as smoking and substance use (Lejuez et al., 2007; Lejuez, Aklin, Zvolensky, & Pedulla, 2003; Lejuez et al., 2002).”

Individual Differences in Risky Decision Making: A Meta‐analysis of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (2014, methodology): “The Balloon Analogue Risk Task as a valid behavioral measure of risk taking Expanding on the basic framework of the Devil Task (Slovic, 1966), Lejuez and colleagues developed the BART (Lejuez et al., 2002).”
Cognitive model decomposition of the BART: Assessment and application (2011, methodology): “This measure has been shown to correlate with self-reported risk taking behaviors such as alcohol abuse, smoking, drug abuse, gambling, unsafe sex, and even stealing (e.g., Hopko et al., 2005; Lejuez, Aklin, Zvolensky, & Pedulla, 2003; Lejuez et al., 2002).”
Affective and deliberative processes in risky choice: age differences in risk taking in the Columbia Card Task. (2009, methodology): “(BART; Lejuez et al., 2002) are similar to our task in the dynamic”
The “bomb” risk elicitation task (2013, neutral): “A method that instead has in common with this paper the visual representation of probabilities is the Balloon Task (Lejuez et al., 2002).”
