Self-Distancing Reduces Probability-Weighting Biases
We have abundant evidence that people exhibit biases in weighting probability information. The current study aims to examine whether self-distancing would reduce these biases.

Probability weighting function in experiment using graphically represented probability information
A psychological experiment was conducted to estimate probability weighting function whose stimuli were graphically presented. We conducted a modified experiment of Wu and Gonzalez (1996) study by using graphical representation of lotteries.

Probability Weighting Functions [PDF]
Cumulative prospect theory (CPT) has been proposed as an alternative to expected utility theory to explain irregular behavior by economic agents. CPT comprises two key transformations: one of outcome values and the other of objective probabilities. Risk attitudes are derived from the shapes of these transformations as well as their interaction.

Insurance and Probability Weighting Functions [PDF]
Evidence shows that (i) people overweight low probabilities and underweight high probabilities, but (ii) ignore events of extremely low probability and treat extremely high probability events as certain. Decision models, such as rank dependent utility (RDU) and cumulative prospect theory (CP), use probability weighting functions.

The Effect of Behavioral Probability Weighting in a Simultaneous Multi-Target Attacker-Defender Game [PDF]
We consider a security game in a setting consisting of two players (an attacker and a defender), each with a given budget to allocate towards attack and defense, respectively, of a set of nodes.
