Thesis (D.B.A.)--Nova Southeastern University, 2003.

The purpose of this research project is to replicate an earlier study, which found that individuals with a pessimistic explanatory style are less likely to exhibit risk seeking in the domain of losses. Furthermore, compared with optimists, pessimists are more likely to liquidate their investment positions when faced with a loss and have greater risk averse attitudes about investing. Several of these findings contradict current theory regarding decision making under uncertainty.

520 $a The purpose of this research project is to replicate an earlier study, which found that individuals with a pessimistic explanatory style are less likely to exhibit risk seeking in the domain of losses. Furthermore, compared with optimists, pessimists are more likely to liquidate their investment positions when faced with a loss and have greater risk averse attitudes about investing. Several of these findings contradict current theory regarding decision making under uncertainty.
520 $a Due to the nature of the research topic, a multidisciplinary theoretical approach is used. The literature comes from a variety of disciplines such as economics, psychology, and biology. This study integrates the literature from these divergent disciplines.
520 $a Unfortunately for many investors, they unwittingly become victims of their own maladaptive behaviors. The findings of this research should enable practitioners and investors alike to better recognize and correct these behaviors. After all, the goal is to seek better investment results and improve one's wealth.
520 $a Like the original study, participants are required to complete a survey that includes the Expanded Attributional Style Questionnaire (EASQ), a six-item measure of investment risk attitudes, a series of positively and negatively framed prospects, and a question designed to assess the response to an investment loss situation.
520 $a Unlike the earlier study, the present one employs the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to control for signs of depression. Data analysis evaluates the results provided from the survey instruments using hypothesis testing of significant differences, ANOVA, and multivariate analysis.
520 $a The present study found that males are not more likely than females to utilize an optimistic explanatory style. Pessimists were less likely than optimists are to exhibit risk seeking in the domain of losses, although the difference was not statistically significant. Both groups were not inclined to liquidate their investment positions when faced with an investment loss situation, and reported similar risk-averse (conservative) attitudes about investing.
520 $a Lastly, a significant interaction between gender, attributional style, and depression emerged. However, a high-risk depressive group (male or female) did not surface.
