Lesson breakdown

  1. Understand the asymmetry: a $100 loss creates stronger emotional pain than the pleasure from a $100 gain, shaping how people make decisions.

  2. Learn that loss aversion is the tendency to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring equivalent gains, and recognize it in everyday choices.

  3. Distinguish between risk aversion (avoiding uncertainty) and loss aversion (fearing losses more than gains), and see why they're different.

  4. Discover how people evaluate decisions from a reference point rather than absolute terms, and how prospect theory explains loss aversion mathematically.
