“…Whereas some individuals display consistent risk-taking propensity across domains, others may display systematic variability across domains. In this regard, recent studies on regulatory focus motivation (prevention, promotion;Higgins, 1997) have shown that stable individual differences can account for both stability and variability in risk preference under conditions of loss versus gain (Scholer, Zou, Fujita, Stroessner, & Higgins, 2010;Zou, Scholer, & Higgins, 2014). In this paper, we build upon the prior research on motivation and risk to examine the effects of promotion and prevention motivation on risk preferences across the six distinct decision domains identified by the DOSPERT framework (Weber, Blais, & Betz, 2002).…”
