A Novel Probability Weighting Function Model with Empirical Studies
Probability weighting is one of the key components of the modern risky decision-making theories, an effective probability weight function can more accurately describe the decision-makers' subjective response to the event probability.

Curvature of the Probability Weighting Function [PDF]
When individuals choose among risky alternatives, the psychological weight attached to an outcome may not correspond to the probability of that outcome. In rank-dependent utility theories, including prospect theory, the probability weighting function permits probabilities to be weighted nonlinearly. Previous empirical studies of the weighting function

Nonlinear Probability Weighting in Depression and Anxiety: Insights From Healthy Young Adults
Both depressive and anxiety disorders have been associated with excessive risk avoidant behaviors, which are considered an important contributor to the maintenance and recurrence of these disorders.

Psychophysics of the probability weighting function [PDF]
Abstract A probability weighting function w ( p ) for an objective probability p in decision under risk plays a pivotal role in Kahneman–Tversky prospect theory. Although recent studies in econophysics and neuroeconomics widely utilized probability weighting functions, psychophysical foundations of the probability weighting functions

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays causal role in probability weighting during risky choice
In this study, we provide causal evidence that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) supports the computation of subjective value in choices under risk via its involvement in probability weighting.

A Note on the Shape of the Probability Weighting Function [PDF]
The focus of this contribution is on the transformation of objective probability, which in Prospect Theory is commonly referred as probability weighting. Empirical evidence suggests a typical inverse-S shaped function: decision makers tend to overweight small probabilities, and underweight medium and high probabilities; moreover, the probability ...

Increasingly, studies suggest benefits of natural environments or greenness on children’s health. However, little is known about cumulative exposure or windows of susceptibility to greenness exposure.

Towards a general class of parametric probability weighting functions [PDF]
In this study, we present a novel methodology that can be used to generate parametric probability weighting functions, which play an important role in behavioral economics, by making use of the Dombi modifier operator of continuous-valued logic.
