Risk Preferences in Chimpanzees and Bonobos

2008-04-17 06:20:51 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
I've already written about prospect theory, which explains how people approach risk. People tend to be risk averse when it comes to gains, and risk seeking when it comes to losses: Evolutionarily, presumably it is a better survival strategy to -- all other things being equal, of course -- accept small gains rather than risking them for larger...
