University of Victoria

This study examined male and female decision making under risk and uncertainty at both the individual and the group levels. Participants included 163 undergraduate business students who responded to four business decision-making scenarios individually and in groups of varying gender composition. The results of this study raise a number of important issues regarding patterns of risk tolerance among male and female decision makers, both as sole decision makers and as members of decision-making teams in organizations.
