Economic environment and personality: How do they influence investment decisions and regrets?
Zhenyu Xiao (Peking University, Beijing, People’s Republic of China), Dengfeng Wang, PhD (Peking University, Beijing, People’s Republic of China), Yang Liu (Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, People’s Republic of China) 2009, 37 (10), 1297-1304
In the study the ways that economic environment and personality influence investment decision making are investigated with an emphasis on the experience of regret. Eighty-four Chinese college students completed an investment questionnaire and NEO-FFI (Costa &
McCrae, 1992). Results indicated that the environment mainly affects willingness to invest. Participants exhibited a strong desire to save their money when the macroeconomic situation was pessimistic; in an optimistic environment more money was invested. It was also found
that personality influences investment-related regret more than does environment. Those with a higher level of neuroticism were found to experience more regret than those lower in neuroticism, when faced with a wrong investment decision.
