Table 2. Mean scores (and standard deviations) for risk-taking, cognitive reflection, and propensity for rational vs. experiential thinking style in Study2.
| Overall (N = 110) | Male (n = 55) | Female (n = 45) | Finance workers (n = 53) | Non-banking (n = 57) | p-value (group differences) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRT score | 1.47 (1.1) | 1.58 (1.1) | 1.31 (1.04) | 1.62 (1.1) | 1.33 (1.06) | .20 |
| REI-R | 3.72 (0.65) | 3.8 (0.62) | 3.61 (0.67) | 3.76 (0.60) | 3.67 (0.70) | .65 |
| REI-E | 3.64 (0.64) | 3.7 (0.59) | 3.6 (0.72) | 3.74 (0.58) | 3.55 (0.69) | .13 |
| Non-financial risk-taking | 3.19 (0.56) | 3.28 (0.59) | 3.07 (0.49) | 3.37 (0.49) | 3.03 (0.57) | .02 |
| Financial risk-taking | 2.69 (0.98) | 2.93 (0.96) | 2.34 (0.91) | 3.06 (0.86) | 2.36 (0.95) | .003 |
Notes. Standard deviations are in parentheses. REI-R = Rational-Experiential Inventory—Rational subscale score; REI-E = Rational-Experiential Inventory—Experiential subscale score; CRT = Cognitive Reflection Test. Scores range form 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum) except for CRT (0–3) for male (n = 55) and female (45) participants employed in banking (n = 53) or outside the finance sector (n = 57).
