Personality and Genetics Correlations to Risk-Taking Using Quantum Decision Theory in Balloon Analogue Risk Tasks
1Psychology, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, GBR.
Abstract:
Genetics and personality can be determined and assessed in individuals, which can be used to predict behaviours in large groups and possibly individually. This report will describe how to use quantum decision theory (QDT) to predict these behaviours. Genetics and personality correlations to risk-taking using QDT in balloon analogue risk tasks (BART) will be covered in this report. The areas of theory covered will be BART, QDT, QDT in BART, personality correlations to risk-taking in BART, genetic correlations to risk-taking in BART, the models used in these theories and a presentation of new models to use these theories together. This article reviews many other primary research articles, which analyses the correlation between genetics/personality and risk-taking behaviour in BART. This report provides models that use impulsivity, venturesomeness, and genetic traits with QDT, to probabilistically predict decisions in risk-taking behaviour.
