Double reference points shape risky decision making, impacting society's choices.
Risky decision making is influenced by two types of reference points: individual (based on personal gains or losses) and social (based on comparison with others). Both types of reference points impact decision makers' choices by affecting their emotions, thoughts, and self-perception. These reference points work together to shape how people make risky decisions. Further research is needed to understand how these dual reference points interact in decision making.
