The Coin That Hurts
Loss aversion in symmetric gambles
The Concept
Loss aversion: losses loom roughly twice as large as equivalent gains, so we reject fair or even favorable bets that risk a loss.
The Science
The value function is steeper for losses than gains. This asymmetry is detectable in neural activity in the striatum and amygdala.
