先前的研究发现，在不同的任务中，个体的冒险行为存在相当大的差异。在本文中，我们开发了一个假设，来自心理学文献，这种明显不一致的行为可以解释由一个主题的域特定的风险态度。为了验证我们的假设，我们进行了一项实验室研究，使用多个付费的风险启发任务和风险态度调查。与以前的研究一致，我们的研究结果表明，在不同的任务中，受试者的行为有相当大的差异。然而，我们发现很少支持的假设，这种变化可以解释域特定的风险态度。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Previous research has found considerable variation in risk taking behavior within individuals across tasks. In this paper, we develop a hypothesis derived from the psychology literature that such apparently inconsistent behavior can be explained by a subject's domain specific risk attitudes. To test our hypothesis, we conducted a laboratory study using multiple paid risk elicitation tasks and a risk attitude survey. Consistent with previous research, our results indicated considerable within subject variation in behavior across tasks. However, we found little support for the hypothesis that this variation can be explained by domain specific risk attitudes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
