Many economic interactions involve

some form of risk taking.

Difference in risk attitudes may even
aspect individual choices.
Women and men might have different
preferences or risk attitude.
we have explore the degree to which
observed gender differences in choices
under various Situations

In most studies, women are found to be

more averse to risk than men.
Studies with contextual frames show less
consistent results
Men and women differ in their
probability weighting schemes
Women appear to be more risk averse
than men in specific circumstances.

Sapienza,P & Zingales,Luigi (2008)

Women are generally more risk averse than

men.

Gusatfsod(1998)
A substantial body of risk research indicates that

women and men differ in their perceptions of

risk.

Maxfield & Gupta (2007)

The paper finds evidence of gender neutrality in

risk propensity and decision making in specific

managerial contexts

OBJECTIVERISK TAKING WITHIN GENDER DIFFERENCES

HYPOTHESIS- NULL HYPOTHESIS
Appropriate criteria for accepting the null hypothesis are
(1) that the null hypothesis is possible;
(2) that the results are consistent with the null hypothesis; and
(3) that the experiment was a good effort to find an effect.
These criteria are consistent with the meta-rules for
psychology. The good-effort criterion is subjective, which is
somewhat undesirable, but the alternativenever
accepting the null hypothesisis neither desirable nor
practical.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE- RANDOMLY PROBABLY SAMPLING
Random sampling and random assignment (randomization) are
some of the most popular methods of equating contrasted groups
on pre-existing nuisance variables. However, the small samples
typically used in psychotherapy outcome studies raise some
questions about the extent to which these methods eliminate the
pretreatment nonequivalence of groups in this area of research. This
article identifies conditions under which equivalence is likely (and
unlikely) to be attained with simple random sampling and
randomization in psychotherapy efficacy studies of the kind
examined in recent meta-analyses.

The collection of samples of 2 different gender
STATISCAL ANALYSISFor comparative design we calculate the t-ratio and the resultant
value of t-ratio is-.0150
So it support null hypothesis.
Critical value must be less than or equal to Obtained value.

The typical view is that women take less

risks than men
It seems that this difference is because
men and women perceive risks
differently
Differences in how boys and girls
encounter the world as theyre growing
up may make them more comfortable
with different kinds of risks.
