This study adopted a 4 (higher gain, lower loss, lower gain, and higher loss) × 2(large and small capital) all between subject quasi-experimental design by instruction within stock investment. We investigated the investor tendency to sell stocks-after changes in stock pri-ces-with respect to the stocks’ price of purchase. We also analyzed the moderating effects of investor capital and loss aversion on the correlation between investor tendency to sell stocks and conditions of capital gains and losses. We recruited participants were briefed on eight simulation scenarios and subsequently completed a questionnaire. The questionnaire measured the participant’s tendency of loss aversion and tendency to sell stocks, 168 valid samples were obtained. The results were as follows. First, investors tended to sell stocks in cases of “higher gain” rather than “higher loss.” and “lower loss”. Second, loss aversion was positively correlated with tendency to sell stocks in the condition of “lower loss”. Thi rd, the difference in tendencies to sell between the conditions of “higher gain” and “higher loss” was smaller for investors with a large (rather than small) capital and low (rather than high) tendency of loss aversion. Finally, we discuss the academic and practical implications of our findings. |
