This paper presents an experimental investigation of risk taking in the domain of losses. The experiments are conducted … with students in several universities during introduction rudiments to expected utility theory and risk behaviour. The …. They also show similarities in the risk perception of students across different countries, i.e., a useful validation of …

The amount of risk taken for the group is … like to make the group decision and the women that do not are no different in terms of how much risk they take for …

This paper explores the effect of personality traits on: (1) the willingness to make risk-taking decisions on behalf of … a group, (2) the nature of "choice shifts", i.e. the difference between the amount of risk taken in the group context …. Neuroticism explains the within-gender variance in individual risk-taking among women, who are on average more risk-averse than …

Most experiments on decision theory ask individual subjects to make more than one decision. The isolation hypothesis is … individuals’ attitudes toward risk. It challenges the conventional view that the random lottery incentive mechanism introduces no … biases in inducing risk preferences …
