Loss aversion bias
Individuals process information based on their experiences and preferences, which in psychology is referred to as biases. While
people desire to follow rational decision making which involves evaluating all the options with all the information available, individual
biases hold them from doing so. One of the emotional biases is Loss aversion bias.
Loss aversion is the tendency to avoid losses overachieving equivalent gains. However they do not like taking chances with certain
gains. Losses are significantly more powerful than gains. people feel pain from losses much more acutely than they feel pleasure
from the gains of the same size .Nobel Prize–winning economist Daniel Kahneman illustrated how this plays out in a simple
experiment he did with his students: he told them that if a flipped coin lands on tails, they would lose $10. Then he asked them how
much they would need to win to make the coin flip worth the risk of losing $10. The answer, he said, was typically more than $20.
