| Abstract: | This research explores whether there are systematic cross-national differences in choice-inferred risk preferences btw. Americans and Chinese. Two studies are performed. Study 1 found that the Chinese were significantly more risk seeking than the Americans. Study 2 found that Chinese were more risk seeking than Americans only in the investment domain and not in the other domains. These results are explained in terms of a 'cushion hypothesis'. |
