Summary: The study found that when asked to invest in short and long-time horizons separately, participants tended to invest more in risky assets, especially for the long-time horizon, and were less likely to revise their decisions after obtaining feedback, suggesting they were more satisfied with their initial decision.

Summary: The study found that most participants tended to be risk-averse when trying to maximize gains, and risk-seeking when trying to minimize losses. Sleep variability was found to have an impact on risk-taking behavior in the LOSS condition.

Summary: Past experiences are crucial in shaping risk preferences. Previous studies have shown that the effect of prior risk exposure on subsequent risk-taking behavior varies across different domains, but there is still a gap in understanding how this dynamic is influenced by gains and losses. This paper experimentally demonstrates that exposure to higher levels of risk in the gain domain leads to increased risk-taking in the subsequent loss domain, and vice versa.

Summary: This study found that misalignment between sleep timing and the central circadian clock (such as phase-delayed misalignment) may impact risky decision-making, but it did not predict outcomes in framing and strategic reasoning tasks. This suggests a relationship between sleep/circadian factors and risk-taking behavior.

Summary: High consumers contribute to environmental degradation through their consumption practices and societal aspirations, yet their impact and exclusion from research and policy initiatives highlight the need for further investigation into their role, drivers, geographical distribution, and barriers to engaging them in sustainable consumption initiatives.

Summary: Invasive species pose a significant threat to biodiversity, with behavioral traits playing a crucial role in survival. Social species benefit from being part of a group to carry out essential activities. Access to heterospecific social environments could offer exotic species the chance to join groups and gain advantages of being part of a larger population.

Summary: Adolescents tend to make more welfare-decreasing decisions in the presence of peers, leading to substantial losses in terms of lives, injury, and missed opportunities. When observed by peers, 18-24-year-old adolescents become more risk-tolerant in gains and losses but more loss averse.

Summary: This study examined whether courage is only about facing fear. The results showed that the perceived value of an action predicts its level of courage, in addition to the perceived riskiness of the action.

Summary: There is evidence that religiosity affects risk-taking among rural people in Ethiopia, as religious farmers tend to be more risk-taking, possibly due to their belief in God's just power.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between TLAC bonds and bank risk-taking, revealing that a larger issuance of TLAC bonds is associated with higher risk. This finding contradicts the intended purpose of TLAC regulations and may increase the likelihood of G-SIB default.

Summary: The experience of subjective loss in auction scenarios can lead to greater financial risk propensity and negative emotions. Furthermore, subjective loss induces stronger negative emotions but less risk propensity in investment compared to actual loss experiences, however, there is no difference in risk propensity in gambling between the two types of loss.

Summary: This study examines how the interim game state affects risk-taking and performance in professional football. The results show that stronger teams increase attack intensity against weaker opponents, but decrease it as their lead expands. Trailing teams intensify their attacks but achieve little. Leading teams underperform in terms of blocked shots and corner kicks. Tied teams perform worse in shots on target and free kicks compared to leading teams.

Summary: Bed and wake times are more crucial than sleep duration in identifying seizure risk for people with epilepsy. Undersleeping is associated with a slight decrease in seizure risk, possibly due to nocturnal seizures. Wearables can be used to analyze sleep-seizure relationships and provide clinical recommendations.

Summary: In a study using real casino data, it was found that customers tended to take more risks after paper outcomes or large gains and losses during a casino visit. However, comparatively small realized losses and gains did not alter risk-taking behavior.

Summary: Recent findings suggest that atmospheric warming prolongs weather patterns, potentially leading to a decline in plant diversity; longer dry and wet periods result in decreased species richness, highlighting the impact of timing of droughts and wet spells on physiological stress and mortality rates in plants.
