We systematically explore decision situations in which a decision maker bears responsibility for somebody else … thought. Indeed, looking at risk attitudes in the loss domain, we find an increase in risk seeking under responsibility. This … responsibility may depend on a social norm of caution in situations of responsibility versus naive corrections from perceived biases …
