We propose a new parametrization of Quantum Decision Theory (QDT), based on Rank Dependent Utility Theory (RDU). Using … experimental data made of choices between pairs of lotteries, we compare QDT with "classical" decision theories, RDU and Cumulative … decision makers as either RDU, RDU-based QDT, CPT or CPT-based QDT. Our major findings are the following: the quantum …

(subjective) probabilities weight multiplicatively the utilities of the alternatives offered to the decision maker, although … evidence suggest that probability weights and utilities are often not separable in the mind of the decision maker. In this … context, we introduce a simple and efficient framework on how to describe the inherently probabilistic human decision …

We examine the risky choices of contestants in the popular TV game show “Deal or No Deal” and related classroom experiments. Contrary to the traditional view of expected utility theory, the choices can be explained in large part by previous outcomes experienced during the game. Risk aversion...

Quantum decision theory (QDT) is a recently developed theory of decision making based on the mathematics of Hilbert … decision making. QDT describes a decision maker's choice as a stochastic event occurring with a probability that is the sum of … an objective utility factor and a subjective attraction factor. QDT offers a prediction for the average effect of …

Prior research suggests that those who rely on intuition rather than effortful reasoning when making decisions are less averse to risk and ambiguity. The evidence is largely correlational, however, leaving open the question of the direction of causality. In this paper, we present experimental...

decision errors can explain or be highly correlated with hyperbolic discounting and non-linear (inverse-S-shaped) probability … weighting. We find evidence that decision errors are strongly correlated with hyperbolic discounting but do not find that … decision errors are correlated with the strong inverse-S-shaped probability weighting (w(p)) patterns in our two samples. We …

Anscombe and Aumann (1963) offer a definition of subjective probability in terms of comparisons with objective probabilities. That definition - which has provided the basis for much of the succeeding work on subjective probability - presumes that the subjective probability of an event is...
