本文探讨了个体风险态度的差异是否与人际冲突有关。在乌干达农村的30多个村庄，我们进行了一项社会调查，记录一个村庄内的个人对之间的社会联系，并分别引出个人的风险态度，使用激励任务。研究结果显示，两个人之间的风险态度的差异与他们之间的人际冲突的存在显着正相关。这种关系在亲属之间尤为强烈。相比之下，风险厌恶本身的强度与冲突无关。此外，我们进行模拟表明，这种关系不能仅仅解释为由于人际冲突的社会关系切断后，分歧的态度。
This paper examines whether differences in individual risk attitudes are related to interpersonal conflict. In more than thirty villages of rural Uganda, we conduct a social survey to document social links between pairs of individuals within a village, and separately elicit individual risk attitudes using an incentivized task. Our findings reveal that the difference in risk attitudes between two individuals is significantly and positively related to the presence of interpersonal conflict between them. This relationship is particularly strong among kin. By contrast, the strength of risk aversion per se is not related to conflict. Further, we conduct simulations that suggest that the relationship cannot be solely explained by diverging attitudes after the severing of social ties as a result of interpersonal conflict.
