How anxious do people feel at the moment?

The Anxiety Rating Survey (ARS) is a 1-question measure of people's current level of anxiety. The question measures one variable: current anxiety. This survey can be used to measure the relationship between a person's current anxiety level and starting/completing tasks about gambling, answering questions about emotional regulation, or making moral decisions. Past research suggests that using a visual scale like the Anxiety Rating Survey can reduce participants' fear before beginning an experiment (Landkroon et al., 2022).

What data is collected? How is it scored?
The following variables are recorded:

• anxiety_rating: Higher scores mean participants are currently more anxious.

Raw data: 1 question makes 1 variable (anxiety rating). The variable's score ranges from 1-100.
