Simple association

with(sb[good.s,], qplot(n.gambles, disc.delay))

with(sb[good.s,], qplot(n.gambles, disc.risk))

rd(with(sb[good.s,], c(
    Delay = cor(n.gambles, disc.delay, method = "kendall"),
    Risk = cor(n.gambles, disc.risk, method = "kendall"))))
  value
Delay -0.015
Risk -0.015

So there is no real assocation between number of gambles taken and discount factor (for time or for risk). The correlation for delay at least has the right sign (less patient people took more gambles). For risk, on the other hand, we have the wrong sign (more risk-averse people took more gambles).
