Abstract

Risk tolerance mediated the relationship between investment decisions and the variables of representativeness, mental accounting, overconfidence, also loss aversion, which was the objective of this study. This is a survey-based investigation. A random sampling technique was employed to select 150 respondents for the sample in this research. Assessing the value of outer loading, validity and reliability, R square, path coefficients, specific indirect effects, and total effects through data analysis utilising SmartPLS. SEM (Structural Equation Model) analysis reveals that the overconfidence variable mediates a significant indirect impact of risk tolerance on investment decision. Besides, the investment decision is impact by the representativeness bias variable, which is mediated by risk tolerance.
