Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of bilingualism on the decision making behavior of Chinese-Western bilinguals. Three tasks, including gain-loss asymmetry, loss aversion and myopic loss aversion, were conducted with 30 Chinese-Western bilingual participants. The results indicated that Chinese-Western bilinguals behaved more rationally in a Chinese language context than in an English language context.Keywords
