Immediate feedback leads to riskier decisions for others than for self
The study looked at how people make decisions for themselves versus for others in risky situations. The researchers found that the difference in risk-taking behavior depends on when and what kind of feedback is given. When immediate feedback is provided for both options, people take more risks for others. But if feedback is delayed or only given for the chosen option, the risky shift disappears. This shows that the timing and content of feedback can influence how people make decisions in risky situations.
