Definicja
Loss aversion is the tendency to respond more strongly to a loss than to a comparable gain. It is one of the important elements of Kahneman and Tversky's perspective theory. It can influence financial, professional and personal decisions, for example by causing us to stick with an unprofitable option just because abandoning it would be psychologically felt as a loss.
