ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the relationship between personality type and risky decision-making.Methods: By means of cluster sampling, 210 undergraduate students from military school were investigated with MBTI-G personality type scale and self-made decision-making scale. We randomly divided 210 undergraduate participants into two groups. The first group (N=109) received a positive format, the second (N=101) a negative format.Results:First, in positive framing, the results of analysis in dimensions of Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling revealed a significant relationship between option and personality types. In negative faming, the results of analysis in dimensions of personality types indicated that options appeared to be independent of the personality types. Second, the preferences for the risky option of the subjects scoring highly on Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving were almost the same as that for the safe option in the positive framing, their preferences for the risky option were significantly more obvious than that for the safe option in the negative framing. Subjects scoring highly on Thinking and Judging were likely to prefer the risky option in both positive and negative framing, their preferences for the risky option were more distinct in the negative frame(?2=4.39,P=0.036;?2=10.47,P=0.001). The analyses in Extraversion and Intuition indicated that options appeared to be independent of the personality type. Conclusion: Personality type is related to decision-making behavior and is predictor of risk-taking.
