<p>I am starting on a research project that requires the measurement of subjective beliefs of subjects around uncertainty. Since I'm new in this field I'm looking for references that can help me get started. In this project we can survey the subjects but bringing them to lab might not be possible. I'll appreciate any leads in this direction. Thanks for your help. </p>
