Abstract: | The new European regulation on financial markets requires consultants to assess clients' risk attitudes before advising them on financial products. The aim of the study is to test an alternative measure to quantify the risk attitudes of private investors: the Implicit Association Test (IAT). This study examines differences in implicit, unconscious, automatic, and explicit cognitive attitude. The results of 66 IAT participants are compared with their answers from a risk tolerance questionnaire used by practitioners. Low correlation coefficients show that implicit attitude, and therefore unconscious and uncontrolled thinking, can differ from conscious processes (explicit attitude). |
