Hypothetical Purchase Task Metrics Predict Responding on an Incentivized Purchase Task for Full and Reduced Nicotine Cigarettes
A limited body of research precludes conclusions regarding the say-do correspondence of simulated purchase tasks. This study examines correspondence across a hypothetical task prompting participants to report tobacco valuation in units of packs and an incentivized task prompting participants to report single cigarette consumption for use during a within-session self-administration period. The task correspondence observed in this study supports the continued use of behavioral economic simulated purchase tasks for application in difficult-to-study contexts.
