To gain a better under- standing of the potential factors influencing risk attitude assessments, the current study investigates the role of personal interaction in these assessments. Controlling for information transmitted, we find that personal interaction leads to more risk-averse assessments, but does neither harm nor benefit assess- ments in terms of precision. We replicate previous findings of stereotypes in risk preference predictions, and discuss the influence of the assessor’s own risk attitude on her assessments.Germanybehavioral experiment; laboratoryWe would like to make these data and other replication files freely available.
