摘 要：
Taking risk has been a focus of research in economics, management science and psychology for decades. Empirical studies reveal that individuals generally exhibit loss aversion, namely, that the experience of a loss tends to exert a greater hedonic impact than gain of the same magnitude. Risk taking on behalf of others is present in many professions (such as managers, lawyers and politicians). And it is important for them to understand self-other discrepancy in risky decision making. Two behavioral experiments are done to figure out if people display different levels of loss aversion when making financial decisions for themselves, close friends and strangers either under only the mixed condition or across gain, mixed and loss conditions. Intriguingly, we observe a diminished degree of loss aversion when taking risk on behalf of unfamiliar individuals with farther social distances than for themselves or friends. A subsequent fMRI study will disentangle the neuroscientific foundation in such a process.
