Chinese and Americans: who's readier for risk?
CHINESE are cautious and drink tea; Americans prefer coffee and
readily take risks. So run the stereotypes. But what if those who
study them as a prelude to doing business are being misled? A recent
study by two American academics suggests they are.
Given the two nations' differences, from traditional values to
political systems, Christopher Hsee, at the University of Chicago, and
Elke Weber, from Columbia University, expected to find Americans
readier to take risks. So did the American and Chinese students whom
they asked. But when they then asked the students to choose between a
high-risk, high-return investment and a low-risk, lower-return one,
they found the opposite: it was the Chinese who were happier with
risk.
