Individual Differences in the Disposition Effect
JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL FINANCE(2019)
摘要
The authors model the role of personality traits in explaining the disposition effect building on realization utility theory and Big 5 model and moving from an aggregate level to interindividual differences. The experimental analysis, combining NEO Revised Personality Inventory measures with individual financial data from a trading simulation run by 230 individuals in China and Italy, shows that the disposition effect is driven by 2 distinct psychological processes, one related to holding losers and the other to selling winners. These 2 behavioral mechanisms are uncorrelated and influenced by different personality traits. Controlling for different demographic variables, the authors show (a) a greater sensitivity of the rewarding system that motivates "extroverts" to quickly sell the stock at gain to receive a burst of utility; (b) a tendency for "conscientious" subjects to suppress impulsivity, patiently waiting for higher cumulative returns; and (c) the importance of "openness to experience" to better value information to achieve higher outcomes.
