Abstract
Are we more inclined to take risks for ourselves rather than on someone else’s behalf? The current study reviews and summarizes 28 effects from 18 studies (n=4,784). Across all studies, choices for others were significantly more risk-averse than choices for self (d=0.15, p=0.012). Two objective features of the choices moderated these effects: potential losses and reciprocal relationships. First, self-other differences in risk preferences were significant in the presence of potential losses (k=14, d=0.33, p
我们更倾向于冒险为自己而不是为别人的?本研究回顾并总结了来自18项研究(n=4,784)的28个效应。在所有的研究中,为他人选择比选择更厌恶风险的自我(d = 0.15, p = 0.012)。选择的两个客观特征缓和了这些影响:潜在损失和互惠关系。首先,在潜在损失存在的情况下,风险偏好的自我-他人差异是显著的(k=14, d=0.33, p
